10 Predictions for Community Solar in 2018
Clean Energy Collective (CEC), the nations leading community solar developer and solutions provider, forecast what is on the horizon for community solar. CECs experts offer the following 10 predictions for 2018.
Be Inspired By Impressive Solar Facilities
With ever-increasing panel efficiency, gross installation costs at under $4 a watt, and available tax credits to help defray the cost, there's never been a better time to consider this technology.
Improving Utility Scale PV Plant Operational Reliability via Effective Monitoring
This article examines the hidden power-loss case study data from a utility scale array. The role of string-level monitoring in identifying hidden power losses and its use as a tool in maintaining a high-level PV array operational reliability will be discussed.
Solar-only Tower Sites - A Recipe for Success or Failure?
Regardless of whether a tower company or an MNO is establishing a new tower site or upgrading an existing one, a hybrid power system is the clear answer to being able to balance customers demands for network reach and reliability and operational demands
Metal Roofing Makes Solar a More Cost-Effective Residential Option
Installing a solar system on metal will increase the modules performance and decrease energy and installation costs as compared to other common roofing materials. Plus, metal also has other environmental benefits
U.S. Solar Market Notches Another Quarter of 2 GW Growth, But Uncertainty Holds Back Installations
The U.S. installed more than 2 gigawatts (GW) of solar photovoltaics (PV) in the third quarter of 2017, despite experiencing higher prices across all market segments and major policy uncertainty.
Indoor Farms of America Brings World's First Solar Powered Vertical Aeroponic Farm, Announces More International Sales

Case Study: Whirlpool Corporation, Sustainability From Factory to Home
Whirlpool partnered with Schneider Electric to design an actionable, global sustainability strategy and implement it across 40 global manufacturing sites. The key to the success of the program is data.
The International Solar Alliance Becomes Legal December 6
The future of the International Solar Alliance, known as the ISA, looks bright. The organization is set to become official on Dec. 6, 2017. On the first day the ISA agreement was opened to other countries in Marrakesh, Morocco, it received 15 signatures.
The Sunshine for Mines Program
Sunshine for Mines works as a thought leadership group, industry consultant, and technical advisor for mining companies and mine sites that are interested in how renewable energy can help improve both their economic bottom line and their environmental bottom line.
The Evolution of PV Technology
There have been three key eras of PV technology development: PV1.0, marked by the birth of the silicon PV cell and exploration around the application of clean energy; PV2.0, which brought about the global mass commercialization of solar and more affordable yet lower quality module technologies; and PV3.0, the era we are just now entering.
The North Bay's Largest Recycler of Rubble Materials: A Solar Tracker Case Study
The Soiland Company's solar project exceeded the company's production goals, with 2,096 kWh peak day production to date (offsetting quarry demand as early as 7:00AM). Matching the system's annual production would require a 330kW+ fixed array, or an additional 528 PV panels.
Drones in the Wind Industry
Drone-based inspections provide cost reduction and revenue enhancement opportunities of over $600/turbine when compared to ground-based inspections. The savings value is two folds ($1200/turbine) when compared to corrective/reactionary maintenance.
Case Study: Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS)
AACPS is the fifth largest public school district in Maryland. At any one time, it is educating approximately 82,000 students in its 125 schools, shepherded by its administrative staff spread over nine buildings.
