Due Diligence 101-Part 1: Assessing the site of a solar array
This is the first in a series of blogs outlining important considerations when performing technical due diligence on a solar asset.
Qcells Brings San Diego County's Largest Utility-Scale Solar Project Online
Qcells has commissioned the Ocotillo Wells Solar project in Borrego Springs, CA. The 50 MW solar and 200 MWh energy storage project is monumental as San Diego County's largest utility-scale renewable project and an economic growth opportunity for the community.
Microgrids are the future of green energy - Self-sufficient grids reduce strain on traditional energy networks
Having an independent, self-sufficient grid in proximity to the area it serves mitigates the loss of the around eight to fifteen per cent of electricity that dissipates when it is transported from a central power station via a distribution network in a traditional grid.
Solar + Sheep = Success! Renewable ways to live off the land
The success of "solar grazing" programs at Arnprior and other facilities across Canada
and the U.S. has garnered attention from landowners, sheep farmers and solar
developers alike.
Ensuring Supply Chain Resilience: Key to Energy Sustainability
According to the DOE, global demand for photovoltaic solar energy is expected to increase significantly in the coming years, requiring a total investment of $8 billion in supply chain facilities to meet the demand.

Just one month before Hurricane Otis made landfall, solar EPC "Energía Real" completed the solar photovoltaic installation of 538 Trina Solar 545W modules for a total installed capacity of 293 kWp, on the store's KR-18 sheet metal roof.
Using Solar-Powered Flood Monitoring Systems to Make New York City Safer
Through a pilot program underway in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, solar design firm Voltaic Systems is working with NYC's FloodNet cooperative to potentially bring greater security to neighborhoods throughout the metropolitan area.
Effective operations and monitoring of distributed energy resources

Large-scale DER installations are undoubtedly a positive addition to the energy network, but their integration and management is more complex than that of individual, smaller scale DERs.
What Is Hybrid Inverter
A hybrid inverter combines a solar inverter's functions and a battery storage inverter into one. Consequently, it can manage power produced by the solar array, the solar battery storage, and power from the grid.

Following is a statement from Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) on the administration's announcement
FIELDS AND THE SUN: AGRICULTURAL PV, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE ENERGY AND THE FARMING INDUSTRY
Shading and wind protection provided by solar panels reduces evaporation, and innovative solar panels have been developed that also collect rainwater for irrigation. This can benefit farming operations by boosting their resilience against crop failure.
The Streamlined Solar Permitting Solution our Industry Needs
Permitting delays are one of the most problematic aspects of residential solar deployment. Solar projects are governed by a patchwork of laws, regulations, and standards created by a host of governmental entities regarding zoning, construction, and more.
Changing the Rules of Thermal Energy Storage
Power Panel's Gen 20 Thermal Storage Tank scraps the concept of the traditional steel tank, replacing it with durable, safe, stable and recyclable thermoplastics. The result is a lightweight, secure, and rapidly-deployable thermal storage solution.
Stäubli continues to expand its North American manufacturing of solar PV components
Supports increased demand for domestically made, high-quality connectors and wire harnesses, driven in part by the US Inflation Reduction Act
