Arevon breaks ground on 228 MW solar project in Indiana
The project is expected to provide enough electricity for the equivalent of 25,000 homes.
The U.S. multi-pronged approach to onshoring solar manufacturing
The U.S. aims for a domestic solar supply chain, but the industry’s capacity to serve the early stages in solar manufacturing are minimal. Will its recent industrial policy efforts make a difference?
‘We must push back on net billing’
With California’s NEM 3.0 legislation having gutted panel sales and Arizona heading a bevy of other US states preparing to reduce solar-export payments, it’s time the United States solar industry stepped up, for ourselves as well as our customers.
Reflective ground covers boost solar energy production
Researchers in Canada are testing the use of reflective surfaces to boost electricity production in bifacial solar panels.
California approves uncapped fixed charges on electricity bills
An uncapped average monthly charge of $24 will be added regardless of the amount of electricity used at home, sparking the ire of consumer advocates and energy conservationists.
Sunrun to aid California in its electricity imbalance with home solar and battery VPP
Over 16,000 Sunrun customers will supply the grid during peak electricity demand events.
Was 2023 the peak for global electricity sector emissions?
A report from Ember highlights how “a new era of falling fossil generation is imminent.”
Tigo introduces power electronics supporting solar modules up to 800 W
The new MLPE from Tigo is designed to support commercial and industrial as well as utility-scale solar projects.
Solar to contribute over 60% of new U.S. electricity generation in 2024
Despite this growth, fossil fuels dominate U.S. electricity. A 3% increase in total electricity generation across the U.S. is expected to be served primarily with solar, said a report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Passive solar tracker wind stowing boosts energy production
Solar panels are often tilted to a stowed position to prevent wind damage to utility-scale assets. Array Technologies introduced a passive stowing strategy that prevents unnecessary production losses.
