Installations

Duke along with community and environmental groups find themselves as unlikely allies as state officials deem a 5 MW installation to be expensive and unnecessary.

The state’s Green Bank program is helping four local governments install solar at more than a dozen public buildings.

Also on the rise: Nashville approves 3.2 MW of solar PV at water treatment plants, and PG&E says it aced California’s 2020 RPS goal.

Multiple states require electric utilities to share their power grid data with solar developers. The resulting tools are like treasure maps for solar developers.

As much as 70% of losses linked to solar energy systems in the past decade have occurred since 2017. The insurance industry is no longer “naive” to the risk.

The 3 MW project will power a vehicle assembly line and charge battery-electric transit buses.

Tools deployed by the state as well as the underlying contract structure have created a program that local business and homeowners can grasp, and are investing in. That’s SMAHHHT.

The 100 MW battery storage system would provide black start and balancing services for a volatile node within ERCOT.

The NREL-developed online Solar TRACE and Solar APP platforms aim to help developers, installers, and homeowners understand their local and utility PII process and streamline the often expensive and frustrating experience.

The solar installation will use First Solar Series 6 modules and the research facility will return up to $10 million to the university through energy savings and services.
