Castillo Engineering was selected by Montante Solar to provide design and engineering services on two of Calibrant Energy’s landfill community solar projects in Niagara, New York, totaling 13 MW. Currently under construction, the projects use ballasted, fixed-tilt mounting technology and are expected to reach completion in Q1 of 2025.

“We’re grateful to have partnered with Castillo Engineering on this challenging landfill solar project in New York,” said Steve Erck, VP at Montante Solar. “Their breadth of expertise — from civil to electrical to structural — has been instrumental in streamlining this project and optimizing each site while protecting the sensitive landfill cap.”
These two new landfill community solar projects contribute to New York’s position as the state with the largest installed community solar capacity.
“Montante Solar’s ability to achieve reliable returns and efficiently manage projects — especially on complex landfill solar projects — is exceptional,” said Christopher Castillo, CEO of Castillo Engineering. “We’re proud to collaborate with an industry leader like Montante Solar in transforming these formerly unusable sites into a source of more affordable, reliable and clean energy that will serve these communities for generations to come.”
