New Sun Road, P.B.C.’s Post

This Austin car park is setting an example: solar panels that not only provide shade but also power the building. Why aren’t we seeing this everywhere? Parking lots are perfect spaces for renewable energy—let’s turn them into solar power stations and cut our reliance on fossil fuels. Solar car parks can reduce urban heat, generate clean energy, and make cities more resilient. Imagine the impact if every parking lot became a mini power plant. We have the solutions. It's time to act. #CleanEnergy #SolarPower #Sustainability #ActOnClimate #EndFossilFuels

The Detroit City Council has taken a major step forward by approving the second phase of the solar neighborhoods project! 🌞 This initiative will transform key areas into solar energy hubs, powering city buildings with clean energy and moving Detroit closer to its sustainability goals. While many residents are thrilled about the shift towards renewable energy, some have raised concerns about property impacts and alternative solutions. As this project unfolds, it’s clear that community voices play a vital role in shaping a greener future for Detroit! 💚 #DetroitSolar #CleanEnergy #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/eqKjrTEA #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendlyInnovation

Next stop on our Clean Energy Week road trip: the mighty Radian Solar Array, shining bright under the big Texas sky! This solar giant packs a punch with a whopping 415 MWp/320 MWac of clean energy, powering over 114,000 homes—even when the Texas sun is cranking up the heat. At peak construction, over 500 jobs were created, and the site now boasts long-term operations roles. They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and this project sure proves it! Tackling hydrological wildcards and mapping every twist and turn of this vast site was an epic adventure for KWRE. With over 900,000 solar panels spread across the landscape, our team’s expert surveying and precision planning streamlined the entire installation. As part of our quest, we conducted a hydrological study to ensure the site was ready for rain and erosion challenges—it’s all part of the journey! The panels? Manufactured in the Midwest using First Solar modules, known for their high efficiency and durability. They’re built to handle everything from the blazing Texas sun to the toughest weather conditions, making this project even more reliable and sustainable. The Radian Solar Array is a game-changer, showing how massive solar projects can rev up the economy, generate jobs, and electrify a cleaner, more sustainable future. Time to pack your bags, we’re heading to the Midwest! But first, let’s fuel-up with some queso and Tex-Mex for the next leg of our adventure! #CleanEnergyWeek #BuildingCleanerFuture #KWRE #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #CleanEnergyJourney #KWRERoadtrip #SustainabilityOnTheRoad #EnergyRoadtrip #DiscoverCleanEnergy #RoadtripAcrossAmerica #ExploreRenewables #GreenInnovation #FutureOfEnergy #SustainableSolutions #EnergyTransformation #CleanEnergyRevolution #TravelGreen #CarbonFootprintImpact #JobsInRenewables #GridReliability #SolarPower #WindEnergy #BatteryStorage #HydrogenProjects #RenewableDevelopment #CleanEnergyFuture #HavingFunWithRenewableEnergy #SouthwestRegion #Texas #SolarArray #Hydrology #WildestRideInTheWilderness

AquaGen365's Floating Solar Powers Through Storm Éowyn. Scotland recently faced the full force of Storm Éowyn, however, amid these extreme conditions, AquaGen365's floating solar demonstrator continued to deliver clean, secure power to Forth Ports HQ in the Port of Leith. Since 2023, the demonstrator has faced over a dozen named storms, with Storm Éowyn being the harshest test yet – with no storm damage. With availability of 100% to date, the floating solar technology is a testament to Nova's robust design. AquaGen365's floating solar technology exemplifies how innovation and sustainability can work together to create systems in challenging environments while supporting a cleaner, greener future.

Perfecting Church in Detroit is taking a bold step towards sustainability by expanding its land holdings through a strategic land swap with the city! This initiative is part of the Solar Neighborhoods Initiative, which aims to harness solar energy for municipal buildings while helping local homeowners save on their utility bills. With the acquisition of 64 parcels, the church plans to establish solar energy fields and develop housing projects, addressing both renewable energy and housing shortages in the community. This partnership sets a promising example for future collaborations focused on creating sustainable and thriving neighborhoods! 🌞🏡 #Sustainability #SolarEnergy #CommunityDevelopment https://lnkd.in/dyb_EU4x #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendlyInnovation

This caught my eye this morning!! It is companies like Emergent that make my heart sing. Apparently Emergent’s founder, Reg Platt, has always been an advocate of locally-based approaches to decarbonising energy and also improving energy affordability. After all, we hear so much about consumers having to pay to decarbonise the grid and with economic pressures this feels tough. But to simply work out a mechanism where local communities see financial benefit and the greater good is still achieved must be something to celebrate. I found this because apparently Emergent have just done a project with Hackney Council where residents in blocks of flats will have the opportunity to buy discounted energy supplied directly by solar panels on their buildings. So renewable energy - big tick - but with estimated electricity bill savings of around 15% compared with market rates! Apparently the scheme uses "an innovative microgrid solution to supply rooftop-generated solar electricity directly to residents of flats, developed by Hackney-based energy specialist Emergent Energy in partnership with Hackney Council’s energy services arm, Hackney Light and Power." ( Lower Bills For Hackney Tenants Through Pioneering Solar Pilot - Housing Industry Leaders) Historically, solar panels on blocks of flats could only be used to supply electricity to the grid or power communal areas. So, something to celebrate over the mince pies! #renewableenergy #solarpv #innovation https://emergent.energy/
