Next-generation solar technologies will drive a lower LCOE
FTC Solar’s Chief Technology Officer outlines how large-format, high-wattage modules and autonomous systems can drive down the levelized cost of energy of utility-scale solar power.
U.S. decarbonization goals hinge on scaling up heterojunction cell tech
HJT technology could fill an innovation gap in the residential and commercial rooftop PV market, and boost U.S. solar leadership through domestic manufacturing of cells and modules.
Here’s why you need to support California net metering
John Fitzgerald Weaver argues that we need net metering to fully recognize the value of solar power on our homes and businesses.
A guide to addressing fire risks in rooftop solar
More than 90% of inspected rooftops had significant safety and fire risks. Here’s how to protect your solar asset.
Investing in the long-term health of the U.S. solar industry
Extending section 201 tariffs for another four years and increasing the quota on imported cells is clearly in the long-term best interest of all downstream participants.
Federal policy can drive the solar industry… but still may fall short
Federal policy must address equipment availability, solar development pathway risk and timing, as well as transmission and distribution interconnection.
Mindful action is needed to increase Hispanic inclusion in solar energy
We need multiple strategies to ensure Hispanic and other minority communities benefit from and are involved in shaping how energy is built and used.
Competition is the sunshine that solar (and storage) need
For the residential solar industry in the U.S. to grow, the field of technological innovation and solution diversity must grow beyond the current market share.
The world’s largest solar parks
In the third of a series of four blogs, solar pioneer Philip Wolfe lists the world’s largest solar parks, defined as a group of co-located solar power plants.
The world’s largest solar power plants
In his second article, Philip Wolfe founder of Wiki-Solar, lists the world’s largest individual solar PV power plants. The biggest solar parks and other clusters of plants will be named in subsequent articles.
