Image: Mortenson By: Ryan Kennedy Terra-Gen and Mortenson have announced the activation of the Edwards & Sanborn Solar + Energy Storage project, the largest solar-plus-storage project in the United States. Mortenson served as engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for the project. The project is a true renewable energy behemoth, spanning 4,600 acres, comprised of 1.9 … Continue Reading
Credit: John D’Agostino EUREKA — If the American West represents the “geography of hope,” as author Wallace Stegner wrote, then what better place than California’s far north to illustrate the eternal tension between the limitless potential of big ideas and the brutal disappointment of broken dreams? The Golden State’s verdant North Coast, a great empire … Continue Reading
By Pranav Gavali Devastating wildfires, rising temperatures, and warming seas across the world have added renewed vigor to the global quest for carbon emission reductions. And in this hunt for sustainable alternatives to air-polluting energy sources, solar power plants have emerged as shining beacons of hope. In this graphic, Pranav Gavali uses data from Statista to shed light on … Continue Reading
This Webinar is Complete Productive education-industry relationships – guided by thoughtful and clearly defined goals – are crucial to the work of graduating right-skilled workers for clean energy jobs. Established industry partnership models – for which resources and best practices are available – provide a terrific framework for 1) refining and deepening our understanding of … Continue Reading
The Interstate Renewable Energy Council today released a report that provides guidance on the use of “group studies,” an emerging practice to streamline the interconnection of distributed energy resources (DERs) — such as solar PV, community solar, and energy storage — to the electric distribution grid. The report, Thinking Outside the Lines: Group Studies in the … Continue Reading
Solar Energy Materials and Solar CellsVolume 262, 15 October 2023, 112560 Field tests of a self-sintering, anti-soiling, self-cleaning, nanoporous metal oxide, transparent thin film coating for solar photovoltaic modules Nanoporous metal oxide ceramic coatings, deposited using sol-gel techniques, have the potential to impart self-sintering and self-cleaning coatings to silicon oxide glass. When used on solar photovoltaic modules, these coatings can impart … Continue Reading
The 13th annual National Solar Jobs Census is out, reporting that the U.S. solar energy workforce grew by 3.5% in 2022 alongside a jobs boom in clean energy storage. The new report finds there are 263,883 solar workers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, an increase of 8,846 jobs since 2021. The … Continue Reading
The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office) announced a new report by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), which can help guide the development of a national electric vehicle (EV) charging network. The report, titled The 2030 National Charging Network: Estimating U.S. Light-Duty Demand for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure, … Continue Reading
THIS WEBINAR IS COMPLETE Thanks to decreasing hardware costs, solar power has become one of the largest new energy sources added to the grid in recent years and is expected to lead the next generation of energy. This webinar will provide an overview of the process solar contractors use – from sales to installation – … Continue Reading
THIS WEBINAR IS COMPLETE The topic of grid resilience is inherently interdisciplinary and relevant to numerous disciplines. This webinar will provide an overview of a lesson that invites students to learn about grid infrastructure (e.g., power lines), thermal power plants (e.g., coal-fired power plants) and renewable energy systems (e.g., wind farms) through the lens of … Continue Reading
