Understanding Solar Warranties: Will My Solar Panels Really Last 25 Years?
The savings of a cheap panel may seem intriguing in the moment, but a high-quality panel with a manufacturer that stands behind it will provide you with security in your investment long-term.
Just Right: How to Size Solar + Energy Storage Projects
The first question to ask yourself when sizing energy storage for a solar project is "What is the problem I am trying to solve with storage?" Usually the problem you are trying to solve falls into one of three buckets:
Are Solar Shingles and Solar Windows Viable?
Solar shingles and solar windows signify what solar can, and most likely, will be in the future-integrated and sleek. With lower prices, this technology should take off in the near future.
Virtual Power Plants - Time for Some Truly Whole-systems Thinking
By definition then, VPPs are an attempt at whole-systems thinking; looking to combine DERs in such a configuration that they're greater than the sum of their parts.
Frost Heave and Solar Arrays
For continuous racks, the vertical deformation results in additional stresses on the racking system and can cause a variety of issues such as cracked modules; solar panel distortion; damage to conductor; connection failures; and more.
2019 State Solar Power Rankings Report
Given how well the industry has weathered the solar tariffs enacted by the Trump administration in early 2018, and how the costs to install just keep falling, it seems certain that solar is ready for its moment in the spotlight.
Solar Energy for Universities and Colleges
One of the largest challenges for managing energy use in a university setting is the inconsistent usage patterns throughout the year.
The Connection Between Alternative Energy Technology and Building Trends in the Intermountain West
Nevada led the renewable energy pack by voting in favor of Question 6, with 59 percent of voters approving the measure. Known as the Renewable Energy Standards Initiative, it will require Nevada to source at least 50 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030
Solar and Renewable Energy Trends in 2019
The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. Sven Lindström, CEO of Swedish solar energy technology leader Midsummer, gives us his insights as to what developments we can we expect from the solar and renewable energy sectors in 2019
The Most Common Solar Circuitry Schemes
Apart from the solar panel itself, virtually any circuit consists of a solar regulator, inverter and, most commonly, a battery. Let's briefly go through their functions.
Designing Solar Arrays for Extreme Weather
After a storm like Michael or Florence, it may take weeks or months to fully restore electricity. Solar and energy storage technologies can help address immediate, short-term needs while building a resilient electricity grid for the future.
2019 Renewable Energy and Power Industry Outlook
Despite uncertainty about federal tax reform effects and a spate of new import tariffs, strong fundamentals continue to underpin wind and solar growth and supported growth in 2018. And these are buoyed by the 3 enabling trends of emerging policies...
Infrastructure to be Powered by Dedicated Renewable Energy Systems
The time is right to amp-up blended renewable energy and energy storage solutions dedicated to solely power our infrastructure.
Renewable Energy Market Trends to Watch in 2019
Renewable energy has now reached a point where it can compete with fossil fuel technologies, regardless of subsidies, according to Ethan Zindler, head of Americas at Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). This reality will play out in 2019
Top Article for 2018 - What are Hot Solar Cells?
Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) is a method of converting heat to electricity using infrared light as an intermediary. Combustion heats an emitter to incandescence and the resulting thermal radiation is converted to electricity by a photovoltaic cell.
