Achieving Greater Terrain Flexibility Across Challenging PV Solar Sites with DuraTrack Utility-scale power plant projects around the world are running into a common challenge. The ideally flat sites are either drying up or being used for other purposes, meaning PV plants need to find solar solutions that enable terrain flexibility and allow EPCs, designers, ...
In choosing how to fight back, PV plants have two core options among single-axis solar trackers – active stow and passive response. Active Stow Is a Half Measure in Extreme Weather Risk Mitigation In crafting a more robust strategy for dealing with extreme weather, particularly during construction of PV plants, active stow is near ...
Operating and maintaining a utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant is a time-consuming and expensive proposition. However, there’s been a unique innovation in PV plant operation – though it comes from a simple and decidedly old-school source. Sheep’s New Role in Lowering PV Plant Operations and Maintenance Costs You read that correctly. Sheep are now being used for ...
With more than 1.2 million solar panels, Texas’s Roadrunner solar plant is one of the largest of its kind in the world. In fact, by the time its second phase of construction is complete later this year, it will be the largest operational solar farm in Texas. The plant has created hundreds of local jobs and become a beacon in the march ...
NREL U.S. PV system cost benchmarks, from the fourth quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2016 The modeled costs to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems continued to decline in the first quarter of 2016 in the U.S. residential, commercial, and utility-scale sectors, according to updated benchmarks from the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Driving the cost ...
