The project ties another for the largest in capacity in the state and it is set to include a 165MW battery energy storage installation.
The community solar portfolio includes a project with an historic church, another project with a non-profit foundation working to preserve a historic site, and an installation on a reclaimed former coal mine in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.
Also on the rise: Recurrent Energy sells Gaskell West solar-plus-storage projects to Matrix Renewables. Designs, control strategies for PV-integrated shading devices. EagleView high-resolution aircraft imagery-enabled platform may cut solar sales to install by two weeks. Fronius releases solar design tool. 250MW solar project planned for former West Virginia coal mine.
While New York has become a national solar leader, projects of this size are unprecedented in the Empire State.
The installation will be the largest in the state’s history by far, representing more than 10 times the capacity that the state has installed to date.
The Gaskell West 2 and 3 project is located in Kern County, California, and is fully contracted holding five long-term power purchase agreements with cities and utilities in California.
Also on the rise: Hot carrier solar cells could potentially breaking the Shockley-Queisser limit of silicon-based photovoltaics. Job moves at Nexamp, Algonquin Power & Utilities, and more. Photovoltaic cell harvests energy day and night. Power Factors selected to manage Vesper Energy’s development pipeline. New inverter from SMA for residential, commercial PV. Aluminum-nickel molten salt battery for seasonal renewables storage. Nautilus completes 24.9MW community solar portfolio in New York.
New York State is the number one community solar market in the US, and the largest market for Nautilus, which now has over 87MW in operation in the state.
Stanford researchers develop a device that harvests energy from the temperature difference between the PV cell and the air.
SMA is offering a new line of four inverters with power ratings of 12kW, 15kW, 20kW and 25kW, for use in rooftop PV systems up to 135kW in size. It claims the inverters provide grid-compliant power control of entire systems and enable over-dimensioning of PV arrays by up to 150%.
