Solar array advances sustainability initiatives at Vermont’s Sun Mountain.

Also on the rise: Borrego Solar discusses a recent provisional win for solar developers in Massachusetts. California solar project developers alter plans after viewshed analysis. The Office of Clean Energy Demonstration was established to promote clean energy through projects across the U.S., and more.

The DOE-run program, part of a $20 billion fund, was established to promote clean energy through demonstration projects across the U.S.

Also on the rise: Enphase starts shipping IQ8 inverter. Michigan gets two new solar projects bringing 50 MW to the state. Meyer Burger to bring solar module manufacturing and jobs to Arizona. A bill aims to re-establish Washington’s former highly effective solar incentive program. Watch the solar array deploy on NASA’s James Webb telescope.

Project developer, 8minute Solar Energy, recently altered its plans for the Aratina solar project after the County’s review and feedback from local residents indicated there was concern about neighbors’ views.

The IQ8 is said to be the most powerful PV microinverter developed by Enphase Energy and is capable of forming a microgrid during a power outage. 

A diversified and talented workforce, proximity to customers, and strong partnerships on the ground in Arizona prompted Meyer Burger to establish a production site in Goodyear, Arizona.

Also on the rise: Beaming solar from space is one step closer to reality. Wisconsin looks to add 165 MW of solar. Batteries to the rescue: Changes to California’s net-metering program may seriously erode the value of rooftop residential solar without the aid of battery energy storage.
