As tariffs push copper costs higher, one startup thinks additive manufacturing could free batteries from the metal altogether.
The company opened a 95,000 square foot facility that is expected to create 100 jobs in Houston, adding to its existing footprint in the area.
Draft legislation from Solar and Storage Industries Institute and SEIA provides policymakers with a framework to reduce delays with interconnection and permitting processes for households and businesses.
In the high-stakes world of solar development, a project’s journey from concept to completion is fraught with challenges, with financing representing the ultimate hurdle. At the core of a project’s viability lies the energy assessment, where a single miscalculation can jeopardize millions and send a project back to the drawing board.
The United States has stepped up its use of tariffs on international trade partners, alongside the removal of many renewable energy incentives. Most imports from China are now subject to 30% tariffs and other barriers, along with further measures specific to solar products. InfoLink’s Alan Tu examines key changes in US policy and their likely impact on the domestic PV market.
Data centers’ energy demand is well-documented. Hyperscale AI data centers owned by big-tech companies are placing acute strain on energy infrastructure in the United States, the global data center capital, and many more are expected to come online. There is ongoing debate about how policymakers, grid operators, regulators and the energy industry – renewable or otherwise – can respond to the situation. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) can provide grid-balancing solutions, but not all are convinced they can fully replace gas.
