Utility Scale PV

Also on the rise: A report calls on DOE to do more to secure the distribution network from cyberattacks, Q CELLS claims top market share, and the National Solar Tour may be coming to a rooftop close to you.

The bank is the fourth major corporate buyer to enter the program, with a contract for 58 MW of the Blackburn Solar Project.

The PV solar resource at the 2,000-acre site ranges means the 200 MW project is expected to generate 537.30 GWh of electricity in its first year of operation.

Also on the rise: Navajo Nation leaders vote to advance a 200 MW solar project, Greenbacker buys a development pipeline, Intersolar NA reschedules its live event, and a report says that flow batteries could use a jump start from DOE.

In the second installment of this series, pv magazine talks with Michael Kolodner of Marsh to learn about the evolution of hail risk management and how insuring a solar project is about more than just the policy.

The $180 million project would spread across two counties just southwest of Indianapolis.

The 200 MW facility will be built and owned by 174 Power Global at a site in Colorado.

Also on the rise: Canadian Solar starts work on $230 million worth of solar projects in Japan, and the Canadian government backs efforts to move Arctic communities off of diesel and onto renewables.

The approach taken at the 13.7 MW site redirects and concentrates otherwise discarded light onto the PV cells. 

A total of 9 MW of solar and 36 MWh of storage will be deployed via two solar arrays perched above the commercial cranberry bogs.
