Also on the rise: Enel Green Power moves one step closer to solar cell and module factory in Oklahoma. Community solar project coming to coal country. And more.
If approved, the proposed U.S. factory will be Enel’s second solar manufacturing facility, as it previously announced the expansion of its 3Sun Gigafactory in Catania, Sicily. The U.S. factory will also be one of the few in the country manufacturing cells as well as modules.
Also on the rise: Oregon’s largest solar farm at 205 MW comes online. 106 MW regenerative agrivoltaic project at White Oak Pastures in Georgia. And more.
With Oklahoma as the leading candidate, the U.S. manufacturing site will start with 3 GW of production capacity, with plans to double to 6 GW.
Also on the rise: Wisconsin utility decision could spur more rooftop solar development. 50 states of solar incentives–Oklahoma. And more.
Oklahoma is a state with an abundance of sunlight, but limited solar incentives at the state level.
The AEP subsidiary awaits approval to add the $2.47 billion project portfolio.
Adding to its $4 billion Kansas electric vehicle battery factory plans, the company now eyes Oklahoma for a second location.
Up to 50% of the energy absorbed by a solar cell is lost as heat. Scientists are now developing a third generation of “hot carrier” solar cells that take advantage of this heat, potentially breaking the Shockley-Queisser limit of silicon-based PV.
Battery energy storage capacity may be included, and the solar projects must be sited in Oklahoma.
