Energy Storage

Join the solar revolution, but do so with the most current insight on equipment, cost, and system design. Bookmark this page and refer to it often as your project moves forward.

Also on the rise: Tesla is supply batteries for energy storage projects in Arizona and New Mexico, and our series “how long does it last” looks at residential inverter technology.

The first phase of the project is expected to enter service in June with full commercial operation anticipated for fall 2022.

The 25 MW battery system consists of a series of Tesla Megapacks connected to Salt River Project’s energy grid.

Three utility-scale projects won approval, contributing a surge of capacity to what has been a busy year for solar in Ohio.

Also on the rise: Dominion wants to add 1 GW of solar and energy storage in Virginia, SunPower inks an exclusive supply deal, and solar on new-build homes can shorten system payback times.

In a related move, the utility bought a 20 MW/80 MWh energy storage facility that is expected to enter service in 2022.

The deal will see SunPower Equinox home solar systems installed on Toll Brothers-built houses in California, with expansion to other states a future possibility.

The utility has proposed 15 new Dominion-owned and 32 new PPA projects, in pursuit of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2045.

Also on the rise: JinkoSolar’s “very challenging” Q2, Silfab secures an investment, and megawatt-scale solar e-truck charging rolls into California.
