The money will go to 17 projects designed to reduce soft costs and maximize solar’s benefits for states.

The California-based solar developer is looking to take advantage of a growing U.S. PV market, by raising capital on its near shovel-ready projects, which the company believes have a value in excess of USD 1 billion.

Through the Distributed Energy Resources Action Plan, regulators will attempt to mold several disparate dockets and initiatives to meet long-term goals.

The partnership includes three new solar and battery storage projects and comes a day before the dedication of a 150 MW-AC solar project which serves 14 Navy and Marine Corps bases.

The Norwegian solar company shipped 326 MW of modules in the second quarter of 2016, with the United States accounting for 60% of all shipments.

There was A LOT of important news last week, so you can’t possibly have seen it all. When stories fall through the cracks, we catch them — and then we bring them to you in a collection we call Looking back.

It’s a complicated time in the U.S. solar industry, with a booming market for utility-scale solar and increasing public interest, but also collapsed PV module prices and shifts in production.

The move is part of a trend of solar developers adding additional energy management services, referred to as “solar+”.

This combination of tax equity and debt financing will support 339 MW of solar capacity in Southern California, for a total of $2.32 per watt.

Eight states have more than 400 MW-DC of projects under construction each, showing increasing market diversification.
