The inauguration of Joe Biden as president of the United States sparked auspicious investment into revitalizing renewable energy industries and helping make Americans’ lives more sustainable. That begins with the Inflation Reduction Act and clean energy. This blog will briefly talk about the Inflation Reduction Act, its passage, why it is of such importance for the clean energy sector and ...
EV charging infrastructures are power intensive and accrue lots of electricity costs under the energy bills. Our client in California, US operates an EV charging infrastructure with Level 3 DC EV chargers which has power demands higher than 30 kW and in some cases above 100 ...
Dirty solar panels are a common dilemma for residential and large-scale solar installations of photovoltaic panels (solar panels). Typically, dirt from air pollution, agriculture, construction, and unpaved roads accumulates on the panels. The dirtier the solar panels are —the lower the electricity they will produce. But the question remains, are the benefits of regularly cleaning dirty ...
A primary goal of utility-scale PV power plants is to optimize power production. To achieve that goal, manufacturers are turning to increased module sizes in the hopes of increasing module power. ...
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. ...
As utility site sizes increase and PPA prices fall, the margins for energy production returns tighten. Read more about falling PPA prices in our previous post on market risk assessment. Large utility-scale sites can’t afford to not have trackers. The repositioning to keep panels capturing light during the critical morning and evening hours ...
Throughout Array’s 30-plus years in utility-scale PV, we’ve seen major shifts in the solar energy market. As the market currently expands with utility-scale PV assets, more and more lenders and investors are seeing the potential in funding these projects. ...
Utility-scale engineering and construction projects are inherently risky. ...
The key to operating a successful PV power plant is maximizing energy harvest while keeping a vigilant eye on minimizing inefficiencies that lead to reduced profits or even underperformance. Array Technologies’ SmarTrack™ energy optimization software platform is a new offering available to ensure asset owners are using the best tracking strategy possible to optimize energy ...
Operating and maintaining a utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant is a time-consuming and expensive proposition. ...
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 ...
U.S. utility-scale solar installations are forecast to hit a record level of 12.6 GW in 2020, according to Wood Mackenzie Power and Renewables. ...
BIOSAR is a full EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) contractor offering integrated solutions in the areas of design, supply, construction, operation and maintenance of medium and large-scale PV systems all around the world. Their headquarter is located in Athens, Greece. Three large BIOSAR solar plants in Brazil and Australia have recently been equipped with Lufft weather sensors ...
Lazard estimates utility-scale solar costs at $36/MWh-$44/MWh for crystalline technology and $32/MWh-$42/MWh for thin-film plants. ...
Utility-scale installations are forecast to hit a record level of 12.6 GW in 2020, the U.S. Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie Power and Renewables (WoodMac) said in its latest quarterly market report. Some 8.7 GW of utility-scale PV is currently under construction and an additional 29 ...
