Next-generation factories promise a brighter future for solar manufacturing
The digital transformation of scalable and cost-effective solar manufacturing is key to enabling the anticipated growth in clean energy alternatives.
Best practices for planting a pollinator-friendly solar project
How to avoid critical mistakes when planting pollinators for solar projects.
Managing uncertainty in the solar module supply
PVEL and PI Berlin, both members of the Kiwa Group, outline the steps that companies can take to ensure that the modules they are deploying in their projects meet quality standards for the U.S. market.
Artificial intelligence helps solar to shine
Renewable energy sources such as solar are complex and unreliable due to constantly changing weather conditions, but artificial intelligence can be a force for good, helping remove obstacles and unleash the true power of solar.
Why the solar industry has a trust problem (and how to fix it)
By aligning industry measurement practices, we can create more trust among everyone involved in the solar installation journey.
As China expands energy storage manufacturing, the U.S. can step up to compete
By investing in factories to build zinc-ion batteries for energy storage, the U.S. can rapidly establish a complete energy storage supply chain.
It’s time to combat utility opposition to solar
As part of Aurora Solar’s Empower 2022 online solar summit, Bernadette Del Chiaro, from the California Solar & Storage Association, will moderate a talk about electric utilities and how they have abused their monopoly position to discriminate against solar in the U.S. Here, she gives pv magazine a taste of the presentation.
Using AI to optimize and unlock the value of co-located solar and energy storage
When combined with on-site generation assets, battery storage systems can be used to ride out the worst of the price volatility – discharging during high prices and absorbing excess energy from generation.
The Inflation Reduction Act may exacerbate the lithium problem
The lithium battery production bottleneck will block the adoption of 350 million electric vehicles by 2040 unless supply chain constraints are removed.
Rallying for the ‘Solar+ Decade’
With energy challenges abounding, PV has emerged as a crucial part of the solution – building resiliency, creating jobs, and cutting emissions. In pursuit of energy markets and a system that embraces these features, Solar Energy Industries Association CEO Abigail Ross Hopper is advocating for more stable trade and policy settings, in order to facilitate the expansion of PV, in line with its “Solar+ Decade” goals.
