SolarBank’s 3.25 MW Solar Project in Camillus, NY Secures Development Permit SolarBank Corporation announced an update on its 3.25 MW DC ground-mount solar power project in the Town of Camillus, New York, located on a closed landfill (the “Project”). The Project has now received plan approval and a special use permit from the Town of Camillus and is expected to qualify for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) NY-Sun Program. With the special use permit secured, the Company’s final step is to obtain the necessary financing for the Project’s construction. The Project is anticipated to reach the notice-to-proceed stage in Q3 2024.

📣 🇵🇱 The Dramino 10 MWp solar farm has been successfully connected to the grid! 💪 Construction of this uniquely located farm began in September 2023, covering an area of over 13 hectares and utilizing 18,181 photovoltaic panels. It is our northwesternmost farm to date, situated near the charming Wolin Island. The annual yield of the solar farm is projected to be 11.2 GWh. 🌞 This investment marks our 30th energized power plant this year (counting both Poland and Portugal), solidifying R.Power Renewables’s position as a leader in the IPP sector. We've energized over 60 MWp since the beginning of the year. The Future of Energy Today. ⚡🌍 #RPower #RPowerPoland #RenewableEnergy #GreenFuture #Sustainability #PV #SolarEnergy

Enviromena has won a contract to repower three major solar farms in the UK, comprising the Halse Solar Farm in Taunton, the Horsacott Solar Farm in Barnstaple, and the Jordanston Solar Farm in Tenby. The three solar projects are all government subsidy accredited sites, have a combined capacity of c.20 MWp and have been operational for over 10 years. However, Enviromena said the sites have since developed significant performance and availability issues. “Over time solar projects like these see performance reductions, as much as 25% in some cases, due to failed DC cabling and ducting or older technology inverters becoming obsolete,” said Gary Saunders, Technical Director at Enviromena. “Sites become much more difficult to maintain, so repowering is a cost-effective way of bringing them back to and maintaining their maximum possible performance. It also increases the value of the asset while at the same time increasing its life span. “A significant amount of effort goes into repowering projects, but we are well placed to support asset owners on projects such as this thanks to our in-house experienced resources covering planning, design, grid, construction and O&M.” Enviromena noted that its in-house Design and Optimisation team have reviewed the performance data from the sites in detail and full site surveys have been undertaken in order to provide a recommended scope of works for each project. The results of this work will see all three sites return to 100% availability. Uprated inverters will be installed across all three sites where required, full replacement of all DC cabling and upgrades to the electrical infrastructure will restore the sites back to full operating capacity. In addition to improving the current and ongoing reliability and safety of the sites, these works will increase the amount of clean energy being exported back to the grid. Enviromena’s team currently manages over 250 MW of renewable energy assets in the UK and Italy. #cleanenergy

Curious about Chicago’s solar potential? The Chicago Solar Map, developed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Illinois Solar for All Program Administrator Elevate with support from The Chicago Community Trust, provides reliable estimates of the solar energy potential for all buildings and land parcels within the City of Chicago and a limited area of suburban Cook County. Users can browse neighborhoods, filter by several criteria, and search for individual properties to determine solar energy potential. Additionally, the Chicago Solar Map allows users to view boundaries of Illinois Solar for All (ILSFA) Income-Eligible Communities and Environmental Justice Communities. Properties in these areas may qualify for solar incentives through the ILSFA program. https://lnkd.in/gr46ByM4 #Chicago #CookCounty #SolarPower #EnergyEquity #ILSFA #EJC #Sustainability #Renewables

East Green Energy strongly welcomes the government's recent announcements regarding the solar industry. Ed Miliband has reactivated the Solar Taskforce and set a new target of 50GW (up from 40GW) to be delivered by 2030. We look forward to working with Solar Energy UK to make a contribution to this target. The key measures include: ⚡️Encouraging rooftop solar installations for builders and homeowners ⚡️Approving large-scale solar farms, adding 1.35GW capacity ⚡️Mandating solar panels on new homes and non-residential buildings ⚡️Reforming planning systems to expedite solar farm development ⚡️Liberalising rules for installing rooftop solar on listed buildings Stephen Wilding Chris Hewett #poweringchange #RenewableEnergy

What makes the Winslow PV solar project unique? 🌤 It's not just about the energy it generates; it's about thoughtful design that respects the local environment. We've protected wetlands, encouraged wildlife crossings, and integrated with Winslow's rural landscape. This project reduces fossil fuel use, lowers energy costs, and boosts local jobs while showcasing an example of sustainability.  The Winslow PV solar project is a collaboration with Professional Electrical Contractors of Ct, Inc. (now part of North American Renewables inc.). We've installed three arrays featuring 10,700 solar modules, producing 6.206 MWdc of clean power.

BELECTRIC in the UK: How we defy the gloomy weather 😉💪 Did you know that we have been present in the UK since 2010 with BELECTRIC Solar Ltd.? Since then, we have been one of the leading EPC and O&M service providers in the solar and battery industry there. We now employ more than 70 solar experts. Despite the lower solar irradiation compared to other European markets, we maximise yields by using advanced technology. We rely on trackers or so-called bifacial n-type modules, which not only enable higher efficiency, but also increase the profitability of the solar farms. 🌦️ #belectric #teambelectric #solarenergie #solarenergy #greenenergy #solaranlage #großbritannien #uk

AGL and Elecsome Pty Ltd. to explore development of a solar recycling plant and solar cable manufacturing plant in the Hunter region. The companies are teaming up to develop a feasibility study for the two plants at AGL’s Hunter Energy Hub Bayswater e-Recycling Precinct. The proposed, the recycling plant aims to upcycle up to 500,000 residential and grid-scale solar panels per year. The solar cable manufacturing plant strives to produce up to 20,000 km of solar cable per year for residential and commercial solar installations and utility-scale solar farms.    The new plants may generate around 20 jobs during the two-year construction phase and approximately 50 jobs when fully operational, while supporting the low-carbon energy transition. #solarpanels #solarpanelrecycling #manufacturing #renewableenergy #investmentopportunities #InvestRegionalNSW
