Salt River Project currently has 648 MW of utility-scale solar plants online or contracted and under development across Arizona.

Shoals said it is getting faster at winning new customers: It recently converted a prospect to an order in less than 90 days. 

The collaboration is a step in meeting NREL’s goal to deliver instant solar permitting nationwide, and have the software used to cover 90% of all residential solar and solar-plus-storage permits by 2030.

The agreement will result in the construction of around 500 MW of renewable energy and storage projects to ensure that Google data centers will be 90% carbon-free when measured on an hourly basis.

The 640 MWh BESS projects are designed for a 20-year life cycle and four hours of energy storage duration.

Also on the rise: Ørsted completes its 460 MW Texas solar + storage project, ReneSola JV aims to speed its European build pipeline, equity firm closes its CS Energy buy, and Revolt Energy gets a new owner.

The facility will occupy around 2,000 acres of BLM-administered lands some 13 miles west of Blythe, in Riverside County, California.

NRG Residential Solar stopped marketing and installing solar in 2017, but agreed to pay $69,000 in penalties, change its policies and practices, and enter binding arbitration to resolve consumer complaints in New Jersey.

The companies first will work to develop an integrated power plant control and SCADA system.

The Berkeley Lab report said that best practices generally found in utility energy efficiency programs are largely missing from solar programs that benefit low- to moderate-income people.
