The SMART program enables solar-
plus-storage configuration.
As of 2023 H1, 38% (104/276) of
operational community solar
projects are paired with storage.
This represents 65% (363/560) of
cumulative community solar
capacity in the SMART program.
➤84 solar-plus-storage projects
and 101 non-storage projects are
planned, as of 2023 H1.
Despite the total annual installation
rate drop, solar-plus-storage
projects have increased
significantly since 2020.
