PV project developers can make their mark in the coming years with a sound strategy for ensuring their projects are acquisition-ready.

Also on the rise: JinkoSolar says demand softened as polysilicon prices rose in Q1, battery EVs are forecast to rule the roads by 2050, and New York State issues site permits for two solar projects.

Further price increases for residential and C&I projects, along with a possible drop in module shipments and even more delays for utility-scale projects are possible in the wake of action by the Biden administration to address forced labor allegations in China.

LineVision’s V3 monitoring system will be installed across power lines in the greater Sacramento region for SMUD, monitoring transmission assets to identify if additional capacity is available at certain times where bottlenecks are present and to avoid energy curtailment.

The new capacity–which goes by names like Chester White, Lambert, and Hemingway–represents an addition equal to nearly 40% of all solar installed to date in the Palmetto State.

The fourth edition of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy’s Solar in the Southeast report shows that Florida has passed North Carolina in total installed capacity, while South Carolina has passed its northern neighbor in the context of a solar watts per customer ratio.

The company signed an exclusive co-development agreement with Omni Navitas, bringing its North American development pipeline well over 2 GW.

Indiana regulators have approved the 195 MW Hardy Hills Solar project, the most recent on a flood of 100 MW+ solar projects planned for the Hoosier State.

South Carolina regulators rejected Duke Energy Carolina and Duke Energy Progress’ Integrated Resource Plans, and demanded a “single and clear” recommendation.

With the market for solar modules ever-evolving, Array Technologies and PVEL released a study looking at the different module characteristics that affect site-wide tracker costs.
