The NREL-led study said that by 2035 the U.S. would need to quadruple its yearly solar capacity additions and provide 40% of the electricity on the grid,  on the order of 1,000 GW.

SimpliPhi Power designs and manufactures battery-based storage equipment using lithium ferrous phosphate battery cell chemistry.

The Crimson storage project is the company’s first stand-alone storage project and holds two offtake contracts with local utilities.

An otherwise pro-renewables bill in Congress would repeal a key policy that has underpinned large-scale solar development. Up to now, few solar developers have been aware of this wolf in sheep’s clothing.

The company supplied its power station, which integrates a 3.28 MW solar PV inverter, a pad mounted medium voltage transformer, an auxiliary services transformer and a low voltage panel.

The impacted facility went online in December 2020 and features lithium-ion batteries from LG Energy Solution. Fire crews found scorched battery racks and melted wires.

The two California projects were developed by Recurrent Energy and are owned by Goldman Sachs Asset Management Renewable Power.

Also on the rise: A WTO panel rejected China’s complaint about Trump-era solar tariffs, Wallbox will produce EV chargers in Texas, and check out these flexible solar panels for vehicle integration.

A WTO dispute panel rejected all four claims against the U.S. relating to safeguard measures that the Trump administration imposed on solar panels imported from China.
