What We Do
Norfolk Solar, LLC started from the Norfolk Solar Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund — which successfully launched in January 2019. Through a private family investment, nearly $750,000 was invested in solar projects within opportunity zones, throughout Hampton Roads. The success of the project led the founder Ruth McElroy Amundsen, and fund manager Alden Cleanthes, to create Norfolk Solar, LLC. With this we are continuing to bring investors to the solar markets in Virginia. Through our pre-qualification process, we have identified over $100 million in possible solar projects just in Hampton Roads! Some of our dream projects would be Norfolk State University, Old Dominion University, Virginia Beach Convention Center and many local businesses, community centers, and churches.
We at Norfolk Solar believe that clean energy leads to a cleaner environment, less carbon emissions and less sea level rise. Creating the opportunity for businesses and non-profits within qualified opportunity zones to join the scores of Fortune 500 companies that already use renewable energy portfolios creates a more equitable future for all. And we aren’t stopping there! Through our partnerships with local solar installers, we have provided on-the-job solar training opportunities to community members on every solar job we have installed.
