It’s no longer a question of if lithium ion batteries will change the power grid. The question is: Can the manufacturers of the world keep up with the demand, and how big will the changes will be? On July 10, 2020, a U.S. court dismissed a lawsuit put forth by...
Some of the highest returns on investments in the solar power industry are in developing projects from scratch and actually owning a solar plant. Manufacturing can be challenging with high equipment hardware costs, coupled with constant downward pricing pressure....
When there is a gold rush, consider selling shovels if the panning isn’t your thing. Solar projects are lasting longer. Things still go wrong though, and solar inverter replacements alone are worth ten figures globally. This reality has pushed us to adapt and...
Massachusetts is broadly pushing forward in efforts to clean its energy sources. In 2008, the state set a goal to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050. Last year, this value was pushed to net zero emissions by 2050. In 2017, the Clean Energy Standard dictated 80% clean...
Projected lives of solar power plants are 50% longer than a decade ago. This is because we test our solar panels aggressively, and laser focus on facility failures once we build them. This has led some to highly rate the safety of solar power investments. However,...
Last year (2019) saw a record volume of residential solar installed in the USA: 2.8 GW, and the mostly pre-COVID first quarter of 2020 at ~800 MW was the best Q1 by a long shot. With homeowners wanting greater residential resilience, and residential pricing down a...
