A 125 MW project planned by utility LG&E KU joins multiple other 100+ MW projects approved by state regulators this year.

The Bighorn Solar project is one of the largest on-site solar facilities in the U.S. dedicated to a single customer, with more than 750,000 solar panels on 1,800 acres near Pueblo, Colorado.

The 5 MW solar, 11.6 MWh storage array forms a microgrid to power a Coast Guard training center during grid outages.

Also on the rise: PVEL adds hail stress test for modules, Wolverine signs PPA for 150 MW of capacity, and smart inverters are starting to strut their stuff.

Also on the rise: Using AI to detect faults in residential solar systems, Georgia Power gets an OK for a BESS, and China’s power woes are affecting U.S. solar markets.

The 60 square meters of solar panels produces 30-50 kWh of energy per day, enough to power all of the onboard electronic equipment for around seven hours.

The Enel X-constructed microgrid will power project partner Eaton’s manufacturing operations.

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.

Also on the rise: Massachusetts considers SMART program changes, EV demand could tighten li-ion battery supplies for utility energy storage, and Greenbacker adds to its Colorado solar portfolio.

The company said it will consider options for its Commercial & Industrial Solutions business including new ownership.
