D3Energy Makes a Splash with Ohio's Largest Floating Solar Array in Monroeville

MONROEVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- D3Energy has officially launched construction on a 6MW floating solar system for the Village of Monroeville—set to become the largest floating solar installation in Ohio and one of the largest in the country.

Spearheaded by the Village and developed in partnership with D3Energy, the system will feed into Monroeville's local distribution grid, delivering clean, renewable energy to homes and businesses throughout the community. Under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), the Village will purchase electricity from Gardner Capital, the project's owner.

"We've been fortunate to partner with Monroeville on this project from the early stages, and their vision and persistence have been key to getting us here," said Stetson Tchividjian, Managing Director of D3Energy. "Monroeville has long been a leader in the energy space, and with this project, they'll be utilizing more green energy than many larger counties and cities across the country. They're setting a bold example of how a rural community can make a meaningful impact in advancing clean energy."

By utilizing the Village's existing reservoir, the project preserves over 30 acres of land that would otherwise have been required for a traditional ground-mounted system. In addition to land conservation, floating solar offers environmental benefits such as reduced evaporation and improved water quality.

D3Energy has assembled the same team that delivered the successful Del-Co Water floating solar project in 2023, once again partnering with Gardner Capital and local contractor ARP Solar to support the Monroeville installation. Together, they bring a strong track record in floating solar development and on-the-ground experience in Ohio.

Construction is now underway, and the system is expected to go live in early 2026.

Once complete, the 6MW array will generate over 7,500 MWh annually—enough to power 700 homes and more than double the Village's current clean energy capacity.
