Green hydrogen: The scaling challenge
Achieving scale in green hydrogen production is of the essence and will require subsidies and policy support, at least in the early years.
Electric vehicle charging stations to quadruple in U.S. by 2027
With a projected 18 million EV charging ports in the U.S. by 2027, range anxiety may soon become a thing of the past.
Is your project underperformance caused by trackers?
In a perfect world, trackers in solar installations track the sun and perfectly minimize row to row shading; however, this is not always the case, as described in examples in which trackers deviate from the idealized tracking angles, go offline and stow down due to high wind speeds.
Clean energy employment on the rise
The Department of Energy’s 2023 U.S. Energy and Employment Report shows that 40% of new energy jobs are in clean, renewable energy, with solar leading the way.
The missing ingredient in U.S. solar policy
To realize the IRA’s full potential, the solar industry needs well-defined and prompt guidance regarding the IRA’s implementation. Additionally, federal permitting reform is needed to address issues of congestion, interconnection and transmission.
Modular solar generator with solid-state batteries originated in the Outback
Decarbon Venture, an Australian company, designed a swappable solar generator for camping, boating, off-grid living and home backup.
Thin-film solar development receives $2 million in funding
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory awarded funding to six projects to support its Cadmium Telluride Accelerator Consortium.
Climate change and solar project flood risk
A well-balanced project design is one that maximizes use of the buildable space for a parcel of land while avoiding costly impacts from flood damage during the operational period.
SEG Solar signs agreement for Horad PV manufacturing equipment for Texas plant
SEG Solar is setting up a TOPCon solar module manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas and will use state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment from Suzhou Horad New Energy Equipment.
Ten most common rooftop solar safety risks
Clean Energy Associates found a myriad of problems at solar installations around the world, noting that because most are caused by poor installation practices, many can be identified and resolved relatively easily before they lead to fires, safety risks and potentially costly liabilities.
