Mon Power Brings Solar Grazing to West Virginia Site
Hundreds of sheep kept vegetation trimmed at 80-acre solar facility in Monongalia County. This method of natural lawnmowing is currently being used at 506 solar sites in 30 states, according to the American Solar Grazing Association.
Renewable Grid Integration
Ensuring grid stability with high levels of IBRs is a growing technical challenge. Traditional grids derived strength and inertia from big spinning generators, but when those are replaced by solar inverters and wind turbines, the system behaves differently.
Recent Advances in Solar Cell Technology for Transportation Applications
VIPVs are seen as a viable environment- and nature-promoting transportation source, as solar energy is provided onboard, along with batteries, so that vehicles do not have to depend entirely on external charging resources.
Printed, Placed, Powered: Can Robotics Close the Gap in Flexible Solar Manufacturing?
This article takes a look at what flexible solar actually is, along with its challenges, and the technical steps needed to make it a practical reality.

How to Make AFCI+RSD Standard for PV Systems?
AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) and RSD (Rapid Shutdown Device) are indispensable for PV system safety, addressing arc fire risks and emergency shutdown needs-critical for operators and purchasers. As global PV installations grow in power and density, these technologies have shifted from "optional" to essential, especially in emerging markets like Brazil, matching local grid instability and extreme weather.
Widespread adoption requires three key efforts: 1) Policy drive-Brazil can learn from U.S. NEC 2017 standards, integrating AFCI+RSD into grid-connection rules. 2) Cost optimization-scale production and tech iteration to lower module costs, emphasizing "safety investment = long-term risk mitigation." 3) Industry collaboration-inverters makers partner with stakeholders to launch customized models (e.g., for Brazil's telecom/mining) and boost user awareness via training.
With joint efforts, AFCI+RSD will soon become universal across PV systems globally, safeguarding the industry's sustainable development.
