Residential PV

GE, the global industrial giant, is entering the U.S. residential solar inverter market with technology that already has made its mark in Australia and Brazil.

Also on the rise: Community solar donated to low-income families, Maine ski area hosts community solar, UL fire safety certification means microgrid platform can be offered to utilities, SolarAPP+ pilots energy storage and building-integrated PV permitting

Strata Grid DERMS technology allows large-scale producers of renewable energy resources to connect to the electric power grid while removing the risk of costly upgrades.

Adoption of SolarAPP+ by local jurisdictions can speed deployment of solar and energy storage systems through faster permitting. The program is exploring energy storage and buildings-integrated photovoltaics permitting.

Also on the rise: The grid is on track to get even cleaner in 2022, APS launches a resi battery rebate, and Westbridge acquires a Canadian solar project.

Mosaic surpasses $6 billion in loans for residential solar installations and sustainable home improvements

Also on the rise: Duke agrees to new net metering rates, Ingeteam supplies inverters for BESS project, and Powin launches battery energy storage system.

Also on the rise: NextEra Energy sells a 50% stake in a renewables portfolio for almost $850 million, and a discovery may lead to a big jump in perovskite solar cell efficiency.

The project is expected to evaluate time of use and real-time pricing signals, load shaping and shifting, and event-based demand response.
