the goal represents a 700% increase in installed community solar capacity and comes with the tandem goal of creating $1 billion in energy bill savings.

A report found that the U.S. must deploy a minimum of 103 GW of distributed solar and 137 GW of distributed energy storage by 2030 to achieve climate and equity goals at the lowest cost.

The 1 MW installation is set to provide power to up to 1,000 customers, with more projects planned for Wisconsin and Iowa.

Governors of five states agreed to increase access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the Midwest.

Output will be shipped to the U.S. and the company is considering a U.S.-based manufacturing presence.

Also on the rise: Using AI to detect faults in residential solar systems, Georgia Power gets an OK for a BESS, and China’s power woes are affecting U.S. solar markets.

The Mossy Branch Battery Facility will connect to and charge directly from the electric transmission grid.

The company is investing $36 million into a facility to manufacture crystalline silicon and thin film modules, creating around 500 jobs.

Accelerated and unprecedented additions of renewable generation and energy storage will be needed, but the cost of making the shift is far lower than the status quo, a report argues.

SunDown detects and classifies per-panel faults without the need for additional sensors and was developed by researchers at the University of Massachusetts.
