As much as 70% of losses linked to solar energy systems in the past decade have occurred since 2017. The insurance industry is no longer “naive” to the risk.

Tools deployed by the state as well as the underlying contract structure have created a program that local business and homeowners can grasp, and are investing in. That’s SMAHHHT.

The 100 MW battery storage system would provide black start and balancing services for a volatile node within ERCOT.

Solar inverters are increasingly smart, but their sophisticated power electronics expose potential cyber security gaps. Work is underway to harden the devices from intruders who may be out to cripple the electric grid.

The solar installation will use First Solar Series 6 modules and the research facility will return up to $10 million to the university through energy savings and services.

The proposed Massachusetts mandate is modeled after a similar policy in California and would provide exemptions under certain circumstances.

Mining group Rio Tinto said it will spend nearly $3 million on a facility in Utah to recover tellurium, a critical mineral used in solar panels.

Also on the rise: Texas regulators rebuff a call to roll off $16b in storm-related charges, Enphase Energy supplies microinverters to a senior housing project, and Canadian Solar sells Japanese solar projects.
