In the next three years, Texas is expected to deploy 50% more solar capacity than California, but projects are attaching batteries at about 28%, while in California, nearly 99% of solar projects have batteries included.
Also on the rise: Broad Reach Power procures 900 MWh of battery systems from CATL for solar portfolio in Texas. Job moves at Maxeon Solar Technologies, PowerMarket, Ulteig and more. Sunrun says better policy is needed to add “vast” amounts of distributed solar and storage. Ohio regulators to review two massive renewable energy project proposals. California utility SDG&E sees utility scale solar growing greater than 10X by 2045. New JM Steel manufacturing plant will have a Nextracker tracker production line.
San Diego Gas & Electric has put out a decarbonization roadmap, and suggests that the current rate of change is 4.5X too slow to meet 2045 carbon neutrality goals.
Also on the rise: SunStyle brings its solar shingles to the US market. Urban Electric Power unveils 1 MWh battery system at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Solar Superstar cities set the pace for solar development in the US. 2nd grader, Neil, gets a response to his letter to John Fitzgerald Weaver. Canadian university to be equipped with a stealthy solar façade/microgrid.
To supply the buildout of about 650,000 EV batteries per year, a new company called Statevolt signed a letter of intent to build a $4 billion facility that sources local lithium.
While Neil’s concerns are warranted, there are reasons to be hopeful that we will be able to responsibly and profitably manage solar panel recycling as the volumes scale.
The 1 MWh alkaline battery is replacing the 20,000 pounds of toxic lead-acid batteries formerly housed at the center and will provide an immediate boost to the center’s available backup power.
Pivot will build, own, and operate the 40 distributed generation solar plants in six different states.
Installed on S-5! metal roofing mounts, Solar Atmospheres’ 772kW PV solar array and a 1,561kW/3,122kWh Tesla battery storage system, is expected to help the company to meet its varying energy demands.
