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, developers, and operators to maximize ...
Extreme weather is a clear enemy of utility-scale photovoltaic power plants. A recent trend of increasingly costly extreme wind and hail disasters reinforces this point, wreaking havoc not only with the actual plants in terms of construction timelines and output, but on the availability and rates of commercial insurance for these properties. In choosing how to fight back, PV plants have two ...
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 toward innovation and sustainability, promising to ...
The costs fell to $2.93 per watt of direct current for residential systems, $2.13 per watt of direct current for commercial systems, and $1.42 per watt of direct current (Wdc) for utility-scale systems for fixed-tilt utility-scale systems, and $1.49 Wdc for one-axis-tracking utility-scale ...
