Anne Shirley Lewis, an ESA Account Executive, provides insights into choosing between ground-mounted and rooftop solar installations!☀️ Anne Shirley points out that choosing between ground-mounted and rooftop solar doesn't just come down to cost; it's about what suits the business's needs and space. She says, "The cost considerations between a ground-mounted and a rooftop solar project are often comparable. The decision for a customer to opt for one over the other depends on several factors." If there's not enough room on the roof but plenty of land, ground installations work best! "A business may lack sufficient rooftop space but possess adjacent land, which can be effectively utilized to maximize solar production capabilities." ⚠️‼️Read more of Anne Shirley's insights here: https://hubs.ly/Q02kBb7X0

Pure energy exists to connect business and our communities to a low cost sustainable future, creating value from on-site assets. The microgrid solution for parking lots enables a choice between off-grid or grid-connected operation. “It is an option that makes EV charging available anywhere,” Julien Daligault, Innoventum CEO, told pv magazine, noting that the only DC-AC conversion is at the interconnection to the grid. We need to stop thinking about sustainability as an expense for companies and focusing on its role in innovation and revenue generation. Sustainability, at its core, is all about innovation ­– helping companies achieve competitive advantages, capitalizing on macroeconomic trends and ensuring long-term viability through market disruptions both in terms of cost savings AND revenue growth. #solarcarports #sustainability #DCmicrogrid #itspossible #pureenergyuk https://lnkd.in/eSpKPBN4

For homeowners thinking rooftop solar, they may want to consider metal roofing as well. Metal roof systems and solar panels are the perfect pairing, but to ensure homeowners get the most out of their investment of new metal roofing and rooftop solar, the Metal Roofing Alliance has a number of recommendations. https://lnkd.in/ed6Mx49Q

Swindon's Orbital Retail Park Set to Shine with 5,000 Solar Panels Installation: A Leap Towards Net Zero MarVal Power is thrilled to share the latest developments in the renewable energy sector, showcasing significant strides towards a sustainable future. Recently, Swindon Borough Council approved plans for the installation of 5,000 solar panels at Orbital Retail Park, marking a pivotal step towards achieving net-zero emissions. This visionary project, set to meet 56% of the retail park's energy needs, shows the power of solar technology in driving environmental and economic benefits. Through local renewable resources, the initiative not only reduces carbon footprint but also mitigates the impacts of rising energy prices, showcasing the viability of clean energy solutions. Furthermore, this milestone demonstrates the collaborative efforts between the UK solar sector and the National Grid, exemplified by projects like the Great North Road Solar Park. As solar installations tripled between 2022 and 2023, it's evident that renewable energy is reshaping the energy landscape and moving us towards a greener future. In parallel, Swindon Borough Council's commitment to sustainability extends to transportation with plans to invest in 600 electric vehicle charging points across the town. These initiatives align with the broader mission of achieving net-zero emissions and fostering environmentally conscious communities. Reflecting on these achievements, we are reminded of the transformative potential of renewable energy and the importance of collective action in addressing climate change. Let's celebrate these milestones and continue to innovate towards a world powered by clean, sustainable energy. Together, we can make a difference for future generations.

Blackstar Diversified Enterprise collaborated with Jubilee Housing to develop Maycroft Apartments, the first affordable housing project in the District of Columbia to fully power a resiliency center through solar PV paired with a battery storage system (solar+storage). This groundbreaking project, "The Resiliency Center powered by Pepco," demonstrates how solar energy combined with battery storage can reliably power critical services for affordable housing residents during outages while also delivering economic benefits to low-income households. Simply put, our team helped create a system at Maycroft Apartments that uses solar panels and batteries to provide power even when the main power grid goes down. This system ensures that residents have access to essential services like refrigeration, device charging, and telecommunications during power outages. The solar panels on the roof generate renewable energy, which is stored in batteries we supplied, making sure there's always power available when needed. Overall, this project showcases a successful collaboration to enhance the resilience and sustainability of affordable housing. By integrating advanced solar and battery storage technologies, we provided a reliable and economical power solution that benefits the community. Blackstar Diversified Enterprises is a #HUBZone certified value-add supplier and integrator of power distribution products for infrastructure projects worldwide, with a focus on serving the most discerning industrial, government, and private customers. Equipment utilized: SimpliPhi battery power system and a 70.2 kilowatt (kW) rooftop solar panel array.

✅ Escondido becomes the first city in San Diego County to impose a temporary halt on new commercial Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) initiatives. ✅ The city council cites a lack of specific zoning regulations for BESS facilities as the reason behind this ordinance. ✅ This measure is intended as a safety precaution to prevent incidents like the recent battery storage site fire in Otay Mesa. Have you heard? Escondido is leading the charge in solar safety with a newly implemented ordinance on commercial BESS installation. 🌞 With solar power growing by leaps and bounds, city authorities are addressing safety issues head-on. Just think of BESS as vast reservoirs storing energy that solar panels gather during the day to be used when needed, like night-time or any sudden power outages. Your city might just be the next one to implement similar proactive measures. While it might look like this ordinance could dampen the progressive solar power movement, it's more like a pause for important safety reflections. By establishing specific zoning regulations and strict safety standards, Escondido ensures secure BESS installations that won’t put public health or property at risk. 🏘️ 🔐 Expanding on solar power potential, I see this ordinance as a positive for both homeowners and solar companies. It's a significant stride towards a future with safer, efficient, and sustainable solar power systems. And really, isn't that what we need more than ever today? 🌍🌿 For more information on selling solar virtually across the USA visit www.tstpros.com.
