Portable flexible PV systems for off-grid, residential applications
US startup New Use Energy Solutions has launched a new line of portable PV systems built with a module technology relying on Sunpower’s solar cells. The modules are assembled in the system via a custom vinyl tarp.
Georgia Power expands plans 9 GW of renewable energy by 2035
The Georgia Public Service Commission approved Georgia Power’s Integrated Resource Plan, which calls for 2 GW of natural gas and 2.3 MW of renewable energy. Plus, the REC program Georgia Power participates in may negatively impact renewables buildout.
The problematic side to renewable energy credits
Renewable energy credits (RECs) are designed to incentivize the buildout of clean energy, but sometimes the way they are used can be counterproductive to that goal.
Qcells to secure solar glass from Canada for its US manufacturing operation
Canadian Premium Sand and Hanwha sign agreement for patterned solar glass manufactured in Manitoba.
California rulemaking to pursue demand flexibility through dynamic pricing
Less curtailment of renewables and lower customer bills are some of the benefits expected from demand flexibility. The rulemaking follows a white paper last month proposing opt-in dynamic pricing in California.

Solar project makes use of idle capped landfill in New Jersey
A 2.3 MW solar facility is now producing clean energy on otherwise unused land.
Five things to consider in designing and commissioning high performance solar-plus-storage projects
No two projects are alike, and sharing the lessons learned from working on these highly complex systems can help accelerate the deployment of energy storage with essential clean energy assets.
Comparing performance of transparent solar windows to traditional windows
The results of the study by Wells Fargo Foundation and NREL initiative showed that PV-coated windows can appreciably lower the solar heat gain coefficient.
Sunrise brief: How Mosaic is able to accelerate growth in uncertain times
Also on the rise: Toledo Solar talks made-in-USA solar for stable supply chains, lower emissions, fair labor. What’s the value of curtailing renewables? And more.
