During the last eight years, ISS has developed 2.4GW of clean, sustainable solar farms, harnessing enough energy to power more than a million and a half homes. Ever vigilant, the ISS team of 26 employees continues to develop some of the nation’s most efficient solar farms from an industry-leading 13GW development pipeline.
