Ecogy Delaware II consists of a 1.67MWdc brownfield ground-mount for the Wilmington Housing Authority, the largest direct provider of affordable housing in Delaware. This project offsets energy costs at multiple high-rise buildings which couldn't access solar.

The project consisted of hiring and training WHA residents all while WHA is guaranteed to save over a million dollars over the life of the project. The project was selected as a model to expand low-income access to solar in the urban environment through the Department of Energy Solar In Your Community Challenge.
