How Does Heat Affect Solar Inverters?
Inverters, like all semiconductor-based equipment, are sensitive to overheating and, in general, operate best at cooler temperatures, while suffering power losses and damage at higher internal temperatures.
What Are the Benefits of a National Energy Grid?
Whether it's saving every electricity customer money or hardening our infrastructure against climate change, it's hard to imagine another project right now that looks as appealing, practical and unifying as developing a national energy grid.
When Cars Think for Us: Autonomous Vehicles and the Role of Energy Storage
In this article, I discuss the primary reasons why autonomous vehicles are emerging, what factors go into developing self-driving cars, and how energy storage is a vital part of autonomous vehicle design.
GreenBlu Begins $1.6 Million U.S. Department of Energy Award to Commercialize Adsorption Desalination Technology
New technology to make zero-carbon, zero-discharge desalination and wastewater treatment affordable
How to Lower Customer Acquisition Costs
Gone are the days of block walking and door knocking for new customers or paying for old leads. Instead, social media and customer generated reviews are lowering the cost of getting local and interested prospects asking about solar.
Interview with Kathy Nelson, Director, Technical Product Marketing & Industry Relations, Ondas Networks
The company is committed to providing mission critical communications solutions and its exciting to be able to support that on a larger scale for multiple industries.
Case Study: Increasing Solar Inspection Efficiency with Drones
Comparing drone inspection time to relevant manual inspections across the 4 sites, we saw an increase in inspection efficiency of 97%. On a per MWdc basis, cost savings due to efficiency gains ranged from $1074 to $1717 per MW, for an average of $1254/MW cost savings.
Are Sulfur Flow Batteries the Answer?
In a flow battery, both the anode and cathode are liquid electrolytes. The anode in this case is sulfur dissolved in water, while the cathode is an aerated liquid salt solution that takes up and releases oxygen.
Solar + Storage Solutions
Were increasingly seeing solar developers including energy storage as a standard offer in their customer proposals, rather than talking about energy storage as a future option, as we saw for the past two years.
Wunder Capital Is Revolutionizing the Commercial Solar Market
Wunder Capitals Lead Director of Finance, Noah Kirsch, sits down with AltEnergy Magazine to discuss Wunder Capitalls approach to the small commercial solar market.
The Race for Battery Manufacturing Capacity: Ultra-Fast Charging Potential
Speculation on what the loss of control of battery manufacturing capacity could mean for western nations is rife. From limited access to affordable and sustainable EVs due to lack of battery supply, to potential loss of control over the critical resource of energy storage.
Solar Industry Unveils Campaign to Streamline Solar Permitting
With the support of industry leaders, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and The Solar Foundation today are unveiling the Solar Automated Permit Processing (SolarAPP) initiative, which will streamline permitting and slash the cost of solar installations.
Shell and NREL Launch Cleantech Incubator: Shell GameChanger™ Accelerator Powered by NREL
Program will work with companies developing novel energy storage and distribution solutions
Case Study: Living Off-Grid
Melinda and Ezra Auerbach began living off grid on Lasqueti Island in the 1970s. Since then, their lifestyle has literally evolved from kerosene and candles to dishwashers and Wi-Fi.
Clean-Energy Water Desalination the Key to Disaster Preparedness
Projects currently exist that combine solar photovoltaic technology with reverse osmosis. As battery technologies for solar systems become more prominent, the practicality of these setups will increase.
