Advanced software platform supports one of the nation’s leading commercial solar developers in scaling projects to help enhance grid resiliency

Stem (NYSE: STEM), a global leader in AI-enabled clean energy software and services, today announced that its PowerTrack™ software platform is standard across Summit Ridge Energy’s (Summit Ridge) operating fleet of 200 solar sites – totaling 514 megawatts (MW). As a leading U.S. developer, owner, and operator of commercial solar assets, Summit Ridge is using PowerTrack to optimize the performance and management of its growing portfolio. This is contributing to the company’s accelerated deployment of distributed energy assets in response to increasing strains on the U.S. electric grid amid extreme weather events and rising electricity demand.

Summit Ridge’s expansion underscores the critical role of distributed energy resources in improving grid reliability and energy security. Through its partnership with Stem, Summit Ridge is bringing more commercial-scale solar projects online, helping to reduce grid congestion, stabilize energy supply, and provide homes and businesses with access to cost-effective power. PowerTrack enables Summit Ridge to efficiently commission, monitor, optimize, and control its energy assets while offering real-time performance insights, advanced analytics, and customized reporting to support proactive decision-making.

“As the U.S. expands its energy mix to a more resilient and decentralized system, solar will continue to play a critical role in strengthening the grid and enhancing energy independence. Summit Ridge Energy is leading the way in scaling commercial solar to help meet that need,” said Will Jurith, Vice President of Asset Management, Summit Ridge Energy. “By standardizing on Stem’s PowerTrack, we have a unified platform that allows us to optimize performance, reduce downtime, and seamlessly integrate new projects – ensuring our portfolio grows efficiently while delivering greater value to the grid, local businesses, and communities.”
