Australia’s PowerCap has entered the US market with its sodium-ion stationary storage systems and plans to build a manufacturing facility to serve customers across the Americas.

A Solar Energy Industries Association report indicates that the U.S. solar manufacturing pipeline is robust, however, Trump Administration policies, regulations and trade actions could stall progress and dampen demand for U.S.-made products.

The additional “start of construction” requirements for projects acquiring the 30% Investment Tax Credit can be met by installing custom-built transformers, said GameChange Solar.

The funds support ContourGlobal’s 324 MW solar project in development in Colorado.

The state is moving an energy bill through the legislature, that would – among other things – institute a 3 GW energy storage goal, create virtual power plant (VPP) and time of use plans, enact permitting reform, and more while concurrently reopening the solar program allowing it to more than double the year’s capacity goals.

The new nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery cabinet provides support for high-intensity AI pulses while also offering traditional IT backup within a compact footprint.

Researchers show how solar panel imports saved nearly 600 American lives over a decade, while industry data indicates that the Suniva solar tariff may have caused more than one hundred preventable deaths.

Interconnection delays, permitting hurdles and customer acquisition costs are now the biggest challenges slowing projects to the grid.

Mazama Energy says it has accessed a world-record high temperature geothermal resource, and that hotter underground rocks can enable lower-cost power.

In its latest monthly for pv magazine, the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) explains how pumped-hydro energy storage combined with PV power generation could provide 24/7 power to data centers.
