Installations

Two transactions with developer Energix will lead to the construction and operation of six utility-scale solar projects in the United States.

Solar represents 17.25% of the island state’s power mix. At the end of 2022, Hawaiian Electric had achieved 32% of its renewable procurement standard goal of becoming fully renewable powered by 2045.

In a perfect world, trackers in solar installations track the sun and perfectly minimize row to row shading; however, this is not always the case, as described in examples in which trackers deviate from the idealized tracking angles, go offline and stow down due to high wind speeds.

The U.S. grid could require 225 GW to 460 GW of LDES capacity resources for a net-zero economy by 2050, representing $330 billion in capital requirements.

Students and interns can learn solar fundamentals and gain an understanding of various components, system architectures, and applications for solar systems.

Michigan customers would be offered $500 per kW for a new solar system and $300 per kWh for a new battery storage system, which would be doubled for low- and moderate-income customers.

While approving the utility’s plan that would add 300 MW of utility-scale solar and 50 MW of storage by 2025, state regulators ordered the utility to increase the transparency of its resource planning and to advance equity for its customers.

Also on the rise: Top risks for solar assets–Financial modeling. Rutgers University to add 15 MW of solar carports. And more.

As part of its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2040, the university will add 16 solar carport installations by DSD Renewables at its four main campuses and off campus buildings.
