This article summarizes some of the current and new requirements regarding proper labeling for standard solar and wind installations.

Solar Plant Production Verification and Error Detection

Using Solar-Log® monitoring, the SunPeak Operations & Maintenance team can track solar plant energy production metrics as well as data from the installed Lufft pyranometer to ensure that the system is running free and clear of errors.

What to Know About Fire Safety for Renewable Energy

Whether it's a set of wind turbines or residential solar panels, identifying the risks associated with installation and general operation is crucial for technicians and the companies they work for.

Alternate Energy Aficionados Dream Come True : Solar Cars: Is It Really a Possibility?

After vigorous calculations, researchers have concluded that to drive 50 miles per day, a car needs 3.44 kW, and most of the current solar panels can produce 345 W/ft² under full sun, and that will need approximately 250 ft² of solar panels in a car.

NRL PRAM Mission: One Year and Still Going

PRAM is testing functional components of what would be part of a power satellite network that could transmit energy from space to anywhere on Earth. Since the launch, the team has been receiving data regularly.

Resistance Beyond the Four Walls - Industrial Resistors Aren't Just for the Factory Floor

Resistors are commonplace power components in industrial buildings - but their use is not limited to the factory floor. In many industries, resistors play a vital role in the power management of electrical equipment.

First Batch of World's Largest Tidal-Flat 300MW Utility Scale Solar PV Plant Successfully Connected to the Grid

The first batch of units of world's largest tidal-flat utility PV plant (300 MW) have been successfully connected to the grid for power generation. This completed the annual grid connection goal safely, efficiently and satisfactorily.

Battery Safety Concerns Can Be Addressed With Proper Design and Manufacturing

More and more homeowners are requesting battery backup solutions as part of their solar power installations. With increased adoption of solar power, concerns about fire hazards are likely to grow. Are these concerns justified?

Clean Energy Boom to Create Quality American Jobs

New U.S. jobs report shows America's clean energy transition will drive massive expansion of good-paying jobs in wind, solar, and energy storage

Going Green With Obsolete Equipment - Tackling the Hidden Carbon of Manufacturing

Look around you. Chances are you're surrounded by manufactured products - from the chair you're sitting on, to the device you're reading this on. Each step along the manufacturing process of those products has some impact on the environment.

Solar Energy Production Shines Brighter With Data Analysis Tools

Many people understandably want clear ideas of the expected results before and after installation. Data analysis tools can provide that, removing much of the uncertainty that may cause customers to delay their solar energy investments.

How Farmers Harvest Their Own Power with Solar Energy

If you think about it, an industry that is wholly dependent on nature and the environment should look to the sun for free power.

2021 PV Module Reliability Scorecard Ranks Top Solar Products from 26 Manufacturers

The annual report by PV Evolution Labs notes performance gains while highlighting a persistent trend in preventable safety failures that first emerged in 2018.

Using Carbon Additives to Improve Performance of AGM Batteries

Batteries that operate in partial state of charge (PSOC) environments can suffer from reduced charge acceptance that can lead to progressive capacity loss.

Convenience is Crucial for Electric Vehicles to be Widely Adopted

While this focus on green and clean has been a major selling point since EVs first hit the market, there are a number of reasons why they are likely to become the standard. One critical factor is a highly valued commodity in today's fast-paced world - convenience.
