What is wrong with the solar industry? There is a small group of individuals who believe the solar industry is in a decline. Yet, we know that is not the case. Don’t be misled by their shortsightedness, the renewable energy sector is here to stay. Now, is there a decline in sales perhaps, or the reputation of Solar Industry as a whole, and are there aspects of the trade that can improve? These are all great questions. Let’s discuss, collaborate and hear your thoughts next week at Raleigh, North Carolina at the NABCEP: North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners conference. Come, meet industry leaders, and the most influential installers like Brandan Sirrine aka The Solar Goat with Wilson Matthew Betances We will be at Booth 12! We challenge all to share their ideas, experiences, and thoughts about the future of renewable energy. #solar #solarsystem #renewableenergy #nabcep #education #energizeedu

🔥 Breaking Solar News 🔥 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will be presenting at the first US Floating Solar conference on July 23, 2024 in New York City! https://lnkd.in/gbgPfw8r Robert Meagley, Technology Manager in the DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office, will discuss the potential for floating solar projects in the country, covering topics such as benefits, emerging hotspots, growth prospects, and future outlook. The mission of the conference, which is organized by REGlobal and Global Transmission Report is to highlight potential, growth opportunities, policy initiatives, developers’ plans, technology trends, financing landscape and outlook for the floating solar sector in the US. According to National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the US is the largest freshwater floating solar market in the world. RCAM Technologies is looking forward to seeing you in the Big Apple this summer! 🗽 #floatingsolar #solarreef #offshoresolar #fixedbottomsolar #nearshoresolar #solarenergy #offshorewind #NewYork

🚀California solar and storage may get another boost! A new report found that creating resiliency hubs in community facilities to provide emergency power for state residents could generate up to 8 GW of solar energy and lower the state’s carbon emissions by 5 million tons annually. Wow! Our fingers are crossed…https://lnkd.in/e4aZjaU3 #PoweringTheEnergyTransformation #communitysolar #commercialsolar #asset-acquisition

US’ battery storage: 3X y/y surge in project-level financings in 2023 with Texas leading the charge 🌟 Key Highlights: -- Texas is at the forefront, thanks to Black Mountain Energy Storage's revelation of over 20% returns from BESS assets. -- BESS outperforms traditional solar and wind projects, showcasing the lucrative potential of energy storage. -- The "connect and manage" model in Texas accelerates renewable asset interconnections, amplifying BESS project viability. 💡 Private equity-backed companies are not staying behind. Firms like Peregrine Energy Solutions and Aypa Power are scaling up in the battery storage field, especially in vibrant markets like Texas and California. What are your thoughts on this? #BatteryStorage #RenewableEnergy #TexasEnergy #EnergyTransition #GreenTech #BESS #EnergyArbitrage #SustainableInvesting #CleanEnergy #EnergyInnovation

“America’s ability to lead the global clean energy transition and boost grid reliability depends on how quickly we scale domestic production and deploy battery storage technology.” - Abby Hopper, Solar Energy Industries Association president and CEO. ☝️🔋We understand how vital energy storage is to commercial and community solar proliferation as well as to the effort to build resiliency for Americans. The team at Standard Solar has found it to be an integral part of our growth strategy. SEIA just released a new report, “Energizing American Battery Storage Manufacturing," exploring what needs to happen for domestic energy storage production to take off, particularly given that it is expected to fall short of demand within two years if things stay the same. 👀Take a look. https://lnkd.in/ewKrTJZN #PoweringTheEnergyTransformation #communitysolar #commercialsolar #assetacquisition #InflationReductionAct #energystorage
