What happens when the sun doesn’t shine?
Solar power and wind energy depend on intermittent energy sources, and a team from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory looked at the frequency and duration of ‘energy droughts’ across the U.S. in order to help grid operators keep the energy flowing.
ASICS doubles the solar on Mississippi distribution center
The additional 1 MW of solar is projected to provide $100,000 in energy savings in the first year, with the environmental benefits of the combined systems estimated to offset the electricity of around 290 households annually.
Elevating U.S. energy security & reshaping domestic supply chains
Amidst the changing currents of U.S. energy policy and supply chain reform, the states of Nevada and Arkansas stand center stage in the development of lithium projects.
Project finance management software for the energy transition
Critical to the growth in renewable energy development, spurred by the passage of the IRA, is seamless documentation and data management while managing complexity, mitigating risk and maximizing returns at scale.
Building not your average dream home: Finding a builder
The interview process felt long and tedious and– at times– a bit like speed dating. But that is what is needed to find the right fit.
November high pressure delivers high irradiance in the Northeast U.S., clouds in the Gulf
In a weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that North America in November experienced a divide in irradiance patterns across the continent.
Geothermal heat pumps help decarbonize energy use and more
Mass adoption of geothermal heat pumps can decarbonize buildings, thus reducing grid transmission needs, according to a report conducted by researchers Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Largest solar installation in Mississippi begins operations
The 135 MWdc Delta’s Edge solar farm will provide clean energy to over 14,000 homes in the state.
After a banner year, U.S. solar industry back on roller coaster through 2026
Solar Energy Industries Association and Wood Mackenzie report estimates that 33 GW of solar was added in 2023. Despite economic challenges in the near future, solar is expected to be the largest source of generating capacity by 2050.
Community collaboration for solar success is key to minimizing opposition
Affirmative arguments for how solar energy will offer tangible benefits like improving the local economy, providing landowners with a steady source of revenue through long-term rent payments, and lowering electricity bills can cultivate a good working relationship between the developer, landowner, and community.
