A renewable path to Hawaii’s recovery
Given Hawaii’s audacious renewable energy goals it seems logical that industries such as solar can help be a big part of that recovery.
Rebuilding the West through bold investment in clean energy
Renewable energy development can be the catalyst for restoring our economic strength post-Covid-19. Founders of Navajo Power along with Kevin De Leon, Los Angeles City Council candidate, make their case.
What permitting volume tells us about solar deployment during the pandemic
Ohm Analytics has opened up its Weekly Solar Activity Tracker to the public. The tracker aggregates a sampling of solar building and electrical permits from major metro areas across the U.S. — and can be used to measure the impact of Covid-19 on the solar industry.
What options will emerge to replace tax equity financing for solar?
With the scope of global turmoil caused by Covid-19, tax equity, the predominant vehicle for solar project financing will slow down considerably. What options will arise to replace tax equity, and how will they shape the different branches of development?
Assessing the sustainability of existing photovoltaic technologies
Solar PV technologies are expected to play a massive role in the world’s battle against climate change; headed for a global deployment of 7.5 TW by the year 2050. However, a number of PV chemistries exist in the market and PV modules get better in performance and durability by the year. This analysis looks at various PV technologies and develops a technological and ecological rationale for the best PV technology mix to combat global warming
What happens to PV equipment when it falls out of the primary market?
The sale of quality PV equipment in the secondary market offers an additional sales channel for sellers. It also provides an alternative procurement option for buyers.
Getting California’s microgrids interconnected is even more important now
The hope is that microgrids will enable increased resiliency to cope with not only more wildfires but other crises too – such as pandemics.
How automation is changing the solar interconnection process in California
Want to speed up project development timelines and lower costs? Automate the process, pleads Tam Hunt, a renewable energy lawyer and policy expert.
Americans want renewables and are willing to pay for them
U.S. renewable energy use has grown significantly in the last decade, yet data from a new survey suggests many Americans may not fully understand the importance of solar and wind.
In a major shift, the MISO territory has 57 GW worth of big solar projects in its interconnection queue
MISO’s renewables mix is set for a potential shift from wind to solar — if it can confront the challenge of transmission costs.
