Job moves in solar, storage, cleantech, utilities, and energy transition finance.

Also on the rise: Nashville approves 3.2 MW of solar PV at water treatment plants, and PG&E says it aced California’s 2020 RPS goal.

Multiple states require electric utilities to share their power grid data with solar developers. The resulting tools are like treasure maps for solar developers.

The bipartisan legislation would provide a federal investment tax credit for energy storage without the need for solar.

As much as 70% of losses linked to solar energy systems in the past decade have occurred since 2017. The insurance industry is no longer “naive” to the risk.

The 3 MW project will power a vehicle assembly line and charge battery-electric transit buses.

Tools deployed by the state as well as the underlying contract structure have created a program that local business and homeowners can grasp, and are investing in. That’s SMAHHHT.

The 100 MW battery storage system would provide black start and balancing services for a volatile node within ERCOT.

The NREL-developed online Solar TRACE and Solar APP platforms aim to help developers, installers, and homeowners understand their local and utility PII process and streamline the often expensive and frustrating experience.

Solar inverters are increasingly smart, but their sophisticated power electronics expose potential cyber security gaps. Work is underway to harden the devices from intruders who may be out to cripple the electric grid.
