Three solar industry trends to watch in 2023
Navigating major changes for the solar industry as we begin the new year.
Novel ice dispatch energy storage systems to be deployed for building decarbonization
Modular cold energy storage projects are in line for a DOE-supported loan for the installation of a 120-building energy storage portfolio in California and various other states.
New York to add 25 GWh of energy storage for less than the cost of a slice of pizza
The state expects to save $2 billion a year, while meeting 18% to 25% of current seasonal peak demand, once the total deployed capacity reaches 6 GW by 2030.
Solar is front and center in the fight for energy justice
Renewable energy in the form of community and rooftop solar can bring relief to people who are disproportionately affected by climate change, pollution, and rising energy prices. Many groups are working hard to open up access to solar and the recently passed U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has a plan, backed by generous funding.
People on the move: SunVest, BrightNight, Heelstone Renewables, Elexity and more
Job moves in solar, storage, cleantech, utilities, and energy transition finance.
