Energy as a Service Market is primarily driven by rising energy consumption and price volatility, and growing potential of renewable energy. Energy as a service (EaaS) can be defined as one or more aspects of a customer’s energy portfolio including strategy, program management, energy supply, energy use, and asset management by applying new products, services, […]
This week the Washington State House and Senate passed a bill that will update the state’s solar recycling policy. This bill will inform the final design and adoption of a comprehensive solar recycling program that is data-driven and considers the lifespan of modules that can last up to 50 years in the field. “This week HB […]
Inovateus Solar’s sustainable roots began in 2006 with its mission of “Building a Brilliant Tomorrow.” Since then, the company has developed over 400 megawatts (MW) of municipal, commercial, industrial, educational, and utility solar projects, primarily in the Midwest. While their solar work has added to the U.S. clean energy transition, Inovateus realized that standard solar […]
Large scale solar is starting to enter relative old age for the first time. Specifically, many 600-volt PV plants are now reaching five to 10 years of operation or more and are starting to show signs of their age. One of the primary, particularly debilitating symptoms they are presenting: The central inverters that were initially […]
Atlas Renewable Energy told Solar Daily that it has signed the largest solar energy purchase and sale contract in Brazil to date with an investment of 881 Million Brazilian Reals (182M USD). The clean energy supply will be through the Atlas Casablanca photovoltaic solar plant, located in the State of Minas Gerais, and is expected […]
Trina Solar has told Solar Daily that its State Key Laboratory (SKL) of PV Science and Technology (PVST) has fabricated a PERC cell with 23.39% efficiency solely using standard manufacturing equipment. To their best of the company’s knowledge, this is the highest efficiency confirmed by an ISO/IEC 17025 certified calibration laboratory for such an industrial […]
Seasonal storage technology has the potential to become cost-effective long-term electricity storage system. This is one of the key findings of DNV GL’s latest research paper ‘The promise of seasonal storage’, which explores the viability of balancing yearly cycles in electricity demand and renewable energy generation with long-term storage technology. As energy demand is increasingly […]
Plant-based foods accounted for almost $5 billion in sales in 2019, up 11.4 percent, according to data released in early March. But as the movement mainstreams, it needs distribution and branding scale many pure-play startups lack. That could signal consolidation and buyouts in the months to come, especially as large food companies including Nestle, Tyson, […]
On March 6, the Virginia legislature passed the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) — landmark legislation that puts the Commonwealth of Virginia on a clear path to 100 percent zero-carbon electricity by 2045. Virginia joins seven other states — California, Hawaii, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, New York and Washington — along with Washington, D.C. and […]
Much of the fuss related to sustainable food systems is focused on land-centric technology solutions. The next horizon, however, may lie offshore. Think precision aquaculture. For the past three years, X, the “moonshot factory” at Alphabet, has been consulting fish farmers around the world in preparation for its latest venture called Tidal. Its mission: to […]
