"...driven by the growth in rooftop solar PV, which helped to decrease demand on California’s grid because rooftop PV is used first to supply electricity in buildings, avoiding the need for grid electricity." It amazes me that we aren't doing more to encourage anyone that owns a roof to get solar panels. It's so simple. As the quote said, panels avoid the grid! https://lnkd.in/gh8sp3CD #renewableenergy #solarenergy #windenergy

Did you know that the Save On Energy program in Ontario has recently introduced a new solar power transition incentive for businesses in the Ottawa region? The Ottawa DER Large Solar PV Funding Incentive helps businesses in qualifying areas to lower their metered energy consumption and reduce environmental impact, all while helping to relieve the constraints on the local energy grid.

It's officially summer! In modern times, this means hotter days than ever before but also more solar energy powering our lives than ever before. 20% of the world's energy demand in fact. Independent EU-based energy think tank, Ember, estimates that solar generated a 20% of global electricity during Friday's summer solstice midday peak (4% more than last year). This milestone highlights the rapid growth and impact of solar power, which has seen unprecedented expansion in recent years. https://lnkd.in/dUxHpt26

Last year was a record-shattering one for U.S. solar power. According to the latest Solar Market Insights report from the Solar Energy Industries Association and Wood Mackenzie, the country is set to close the year with nearly 33 gigawatts of solar capacity installed. This marks a remarkable leap from the 21 gigawatts installed in 2022 and stands as the largest annual addition of solar in the nation's history.

Battery storage and solar power had a record-breaking year in 2023. Nearly 20 GW of new utility-scale solar was installed across 44 states, almost 50% more than what was installed in 2022, according to our latest #CleanPowerAnnual23 Report. Energy storage added nearly 8 GW. Dive into the data: bit.ly/CPAMR23

Existing solar PV systems have the technical capabilities to provide various frequency-related grid services! That's according to a report by the International Energy Agency’s Photovoltaics Power Systems Programme (IEA-PVPS). According to the report, to ensure the stable operation of electrical power systems, solar needs to take on additional grid support tasks that were traditionally managed by conventional power plants: frequency-related grid services, such as reduction of active power generation in cases of over-frequency, and, when paired with energy storage, the automatic increase of their output in case of under-frequency. In other words, we can provide the grid services we need with the technology we have. Maplewell's JANiiT energy management system can help, especially when paired with energy storage! #SolarEnergy #EnergyStorage #EnergyManagementSystem

🇺🇸 🌞 The “Utility-Scale Solar, 2023 Edition” from Berkeley Lab contains very 💡 insightful information re. the US SOLAR market. 👇 some of the key takeaways : - 10.4 GWAC of new utility-scale PV capacity came online in 2022; - median installed project costs declined to $1.32/WAC (or $1.07/WDC) in 2022. - Plant-level capacity factors vary widely, from 9% to 35% (on an AC basis), - Utility-scale PV’s LCOE fell to $39/MWh in 2022, - Adding battery storage is one way to increase the value of solar. At the end of 2022, there were at least 947 GW of utility-scale solar power capacity within the interconnection queues across the nation, 456 GW of which include batteries. https://lnkd.in/egWpK29Z
