Green Lantern Solar Appoints Brendan Boland as Director of Development to Expand Community Solar Initiatives

Green Lantern Solar has announced the addition of Brendan Boland to its team as Director of Development, a strategic move designed to bolster the company's efforts in expanding community solar projects and small-scale utility solar initiatives across multiple regions. Boland brings nearly five years of experience in solar project origination and development, with a focus on New York and Illinois markets, and will now spearhead development of community and small-scale utility solar projects, commercial and industrial solar, and battery storage initiatives primarily in New York, the Midwest, and other emerging markets.

David Carpenter, Vice President of Development for Green Lantern Solar, expressed enthusiasm about Boland's appointment, highlighting his wealth of experience and analytical approach. Carpenter stated that Boland brings extensive experience in New York and has already added value to the company's processes, with his highly analytical approach expected to enhance development efforts significantly. Boland's journey in renewable energy began during an internship at the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), which sparked his interest in clean energy and laid the foundation for his career in solar development.

The appointment aligns with Green Lantern Solar's mission to expand access to clean energy in emerging markets. Since its inception in 2011, the company has developed, constructed, and operated community solar projects and commercial solar solutions, completing more than 125 projects serving municipal, education, healthcare, and government sectors. One of Green Lantern Solar's key strategies involves working with landowners to revitalize and redevelop low-value sites such as brownfields, landfills, quarries, pits, and extraction sites, contributing to renewable energy infrastructure expansion while aiding sustainable repurposing of challenging real estate.

Boland's addition comes at a crucial time for the renewable energy industry as demand for clean energy solutions grows and companies race to develop innovative projects and expand market presence. His expertise in project origination and development is expected to play a vital role in Green Lantern Solar's expansion strategy and ability to meet increasing demand for community solar initiatives. This development demonstrates ongoing investment in talent and resources by leading companies to accelerate the transition to clean energy, with particular focus on making renewable energy accessible to broader consumer and business segments through community solar projects.

As Green Lantern Solar continues growing its project portfolio and expanding into new markets, Boland's appointment as Director of Development marks an important step in the company's evolution, underscoring commitment to driving innovation in the solar energy sector and contributing to sustainable energy development across the United States. The company's approach to redeveloping challenging sites like brownfields and landfills represents a significant environmental and economic strategy that could serve as a model for other renewable energy developers seeking to maximize land use efficiency while advancing clean energy goals.
