Seven rooftop arrays now energizing sustainable, community-centered living in the heart of Paradise City.  

PV Squared Solar is proud and humbled to announce the successful energization of seven (7) rooftop solar arrays at the newly completed affordable housing project at 23 Laurel Street in Northampton. This milestone marks the delivery of clean, renewable energy to each of the buildings in this thoughtfully designed complex, bringing lasting sustainability and utility savings to the individuals and families who will call Laurel Street home.

This project reflects the power of deep collaboration between mission-driven partners united by a shared commitment to community, equity, and sustainability. From the very beginning, Valley Community Development led the charge with a vision to create affordable housing that meets high standards of quality, beauty, and environmental responsibility. Austin Design Cooperative brought that vision to life through creative and community-centered architectural design. Allegrone Companies executed the construction with care and professionalism, and Housing Management Resources, Inc. is now ensuring that these homes will remain well-managed, welcoming, and efficient for years to come.

“As a worker-owned cooperative, PV Squared believes solar should be part of what makes a community thrive,” said Brittany Hathaway, Marketing & Outreach Specialist for PV Squared.

“This project is a beautiful example of what’s possible when we align our expertise around values like access, sustainability, and long-term impact.”

Located in the heart of Northampton, the Laurel Street apartments are now home to residents who will benefit from energy-efficient living and significantly reduced electric bills; thanks in part to the clean energy produced by PV Squared’s installations, built with “heart & solar” by our dedicated team.

We extend heartfelt congratulations to the new residents, and deep thanks to every partner who helped make this vision a reality. Together, we’ve created not just housing, but a model for how to build vibrant, resilient neighborhoods: powered by community.
