Renewable energy company Solarbank has sold a 7MW community solar project in New York state after it began commercial operation. 

Producing about 8.2 million KWh of electricity in its first year of operation, the project was sold to US restaurant group Gosh Enterprises. The project also passed the final inspection of the NY-Sun programme launched by the New York State energy research and development authority. SolarBank secured more than US$2.5 million in the programme for the solar system, and was responsible for handling permitting and development before selling it to Gosh Enterprises.
