States choosing smart inverter settings could follow Hawaii’s lead
States don’t need to reinvent the wheel when evaluating smart inverter requirements, said a Sunrun policy director, noting that delays in setting requirements could lead to “wasted infrastructure.”
In California and Hawaii, the benefits of smart inverters are just beginning
Smart inverters have opened up opportunities for people with smart inverters to be paid for providing stored energy on demand and other grid services.
Competition is the sunshine that solar (and storage) need
For the residential solar industry in the U.S. to grow, the field of technological innovation and solution diversity must grow beyond the current market share.
