Community solar is a viable path to bill savings for those who aren’t able to install rooftop solar, reports Sarah Moon, senior director of community solar origination at DSD Renewables.

There are many capabilities that must be developed and implemented to tap the full potential of grid edge resources, but experience has demonstrated the benefits of moving forward collaboratively and with the guidance of research-based and field-tested insights.  

Energy storage emerges as a solution to increase the utilization of intermittent renewable resources and increases in importance as wind and solar generation saturates markets.

Community solar provides measurable, tangible benefits to the grid and ratepayers. While some may argue about the exact value of these benefits, distributed solar, and community solar specifically, is an integral part of the grid.

While NEM 3.0 is expected is to slash the rate paid for solar energy sold back to the grid, batteries can help maintain the value of solar. The next wave of clean technology adoption, however, must seek non-lithium batteries and take advantage of new safe and affordable chemistries.

The deployment of a vanadium flow battery at a fire station run by Native Americans illustrates the role that the energy storage technology can play in ensuring that nobody is disadvantaged by the shift away from fossil fuels.

As the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act demonstrated, companies preparing to spend big on batteries are at risk of being blindsided by supply-chain-related legislation. Here are some tips on how US developers can anticipate policy curveballs.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is not an eat-all-you-can feast for developers.

CEP Renewables installs nearly 60,000 solar panels on former municipal landfill, transitioning previously unusable land into revenue-generating, clean energy asset.

The solar module buying journey is anything but predictable.
