Sean has been an entrepreneur and CEO in the #renewables and #energyefficiency construction space since 2008. Since founding Cal Solar Inc., Sean has executed $150MM in such projects and has led the company through continuous exponential growth, breaking through the barriers to #solarincalifornia, proving that #rooftopsolar is alive and well in Southern California. He and Ted discuss Cal Solar Inc.'s diverse portfolio of projects, including the installation of what at the time was the tallest #solarwaterheating system in the world, atop the 42nd floor of 399 Fremont Street in San Francisco. They also focus on #panellevel #energystorage #technology that Cal Solar Inc. is deploying. Sean concludes by sharing the sentiment with Ted that the "#solarcoaster" is an interesting one, especially with so many #policychanges across the board, but the industry in California is the industry to join. There is still tremendous #opportunity and a need to tap this free, #renewableresource. https://lnkd.in/gBMbW7Dr

Sharing for those following all things #solarenergy #utilityscalesolar. As someone that used to reside in Central Oregon and travel north on Hwy 97 to the Columbia River, I know that geography in north central OR is both vast and challenging for traditional #farming and ag. incomes. Recently I learned of a significant project proposed by Clēnera in this area. 1,200 MW of #solarpv generation encompassing 12 sq. miles of privately owned ground combined with 1,200 MW #BESS (battery energy storage site). Huge! I can imagine the income to landowners involved, if the project proceeds will be life changing. See project website for more info and area map below. https://lnkd.in/gCegq_8i

Valmont Solar presents new tracking system ◾ Valmont Solar, a unit of US infrastructure developer Valmont Industries, will launch a new tracker system in Europe by early 2025, the company said in a statement. ◾ Dubbed Convert Versa Tracker, the system is a single-axis tracker for distributed and large-scale PV projects. ◾ According to the company, the new tracking system is weld-free and uses a through-tube design with self-lubricating metal bearings. It is compatible with H pile, C pile, and Omega pile foundations and supports single-string and multi-string configurations. ◾ Versatility to support both single and multi-string configurations makes the tracker adaptable to various project sizes. ◾ Optimized for challenging terrains, the Convert Versa Tracker can handle high terrain slopes, making it ideal for rugged or sloped environments, maximizing land utilization and energy production.

During a recent project our client expressed interest in geothermal heating and cooling. Following a thorough engineering evaluation, it was found that the expense of drilling wells for a geothermal system outweighed the project's return on investment and scale for a (5,000 sq. ft.) building. As advocates for sustainable design and construction, we prioritize environmentally-friendly solutions when viable. In this case, due to financial constraints, we opted for all an electric heat pump / hybrid heat pump HVAC system (VRF's) as an alternative to geothermal. While not as "green" as geothermal, VRF's still offer a sustainable heating and cooling option for the project and are eligible for up to 40% in rebates from NYSERDA, NYS Utility and IRA. https://lnkd.in/eq-SvHrU #ownersrepresentative #builders #construction #management #newyorkconstruction

Interesting article about the solar representing "...one of the largest land use changes ever in Virginia..." according to Michael Rolband, PE, PWD, PWS Emeritus. Needless to say, we're in an exciting time in the growth of solar! However, "Of the 77 that DEQ was overseeing in April, Rolband said nearly 70% of them had “significant issues” complying with stormwater regulations. About 30% of the violations were pending or had consent orders...". This is an incredible stat, almost 3 out of 4 solar projects under construction in VA have significant issues! Nevados has pioneered the All Terrain Tracker which eliminates the need to grade a site to accommodate a solar tracker. The Nevados tracker simply follows the natural curves of the site. In 2024 I am looking forward to supporting the massive deployment of solar while enabling all Nevados EPC and developer partners to respect the natural landscape. Happy New Year everyone! #NoMoreGrading #AllTerrain #KeepItNatural #KeepItWild https://lnkd.in/g99FcJq4

An abandoned gravel pit in Hampden, Maine, is now home to a groundbreaking solar farm, thanks to The Wishcamper Companies, Inc. and ReVision Energy. With nearly 90% of the state covered in forests, finding suitable sites for solar projects is crucial. But this innovative venture proves that even overlooked spaces can be transformed into renewable energy hubs! The Wishcamper Hampden solar farm, a $15 million investment, boasts a capacity of 6.77 megawatts (MW) and is projected to generate 8,700 MWh of clean energy annually. That's equivalent to powering 776 homes! Charlie Duprey, VP of solar development at Wishcamper, praised the site's suitability, stating, 'When we think about solar siting, this is probably the best site I've ever seen.' And Phil Coupe, cofounder of ReVision Energy, emphasized the importance of large-scale solar projects in heavily forested states like Maine. The community solar farm will supply clean energy to various entities, including schools, colleges, and municipal districts. It's a significant step towards Maine's goal of achieving 100% clean electricity by 2040. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #MaineSolar #CleanEnergyFuture

Exciting News for Renters & Low-Income Communities! A new study confirms what we at Solstice know to be true: Community solar programs are making clean energy accessible to more people by reducing costs and overcoming barriers for multifamily building occupants. But there's more work to be done to build trust and spread the benefits, especially among minority communities. Discover how companies like Solstice are leading the way and the challenges posed by utility companies. Dive into the full article on CleanTechnica to learn how community solar can revolutionize our energy future. #CleanEnergy #CommunitySolar #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #CleanTechnica
