​8minute Solar Energy is the largest privately-held developer of solar and energy storage projects in the United States. Founded in 2009, the California-based company has more than 18 gigawatts (GW) of solar generation capacity and over  24 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of storage in its development pipeline. Driven by a commitment to technology and engineering innovations, 8minute today holds a number of industry records: the company was the first to beat the cost of fossil fuel-generated electricity with solar power (for SCPPA and LADWP), and it developed the largest U.S. solar plant in operation (for SCE and SDG&E). Most recently, 8minute was selected by LADWP to develop and engineer the Eland Solar & Storage Center, which will deliver dispatchable solar power for less than 4 cents per kWh. With these groundbreaking economics, Eland’s next generation solar plant design now serves as a blueprint for like-minded utilities and municipalities in California and beyond.
 
With offices in Los Angeles, El Centro, San Francisco and Sacramento, 8minute is leading the charge as California marches toward its ambitious goal of 100 percent clean electric power by 2045. Already, 8minute has 1,500 MW of solar power operating throughout the Golden State across multiple contracts with California’s four largest utilities. The company has an unrivaled track record of working with CCAs, utilities, legislators and regulatory bodies throughout the state to educate key players and bring mega-scale, reliable solar projects to life.  Today, a major part of that effort is dedicated to cultivating awareness around the potential of solar-plus-storage projects to provide Californians with access to firm, economic power from the sun, day and night..
