A historic milestone in renewable energy deployment has been reached in the United States, and it all started with the vision and leadership of Chief Henry Red Cloud at the Red Cloud Renewable Energy...
Given the Trump administration’s past approach to renewable energy, solar developers and installers nationwide are bracing themselves for another period of lack of support for renewables. But the success of the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA)...
The global solar industry has experienced substantial growth and maturation over the past decade. As a result, we now have easy access to high-efficiency solar panels equipped with extended warranties of 25 years or more. Considering that we rarely...
Since the inception of solar panels, the esthetically appealing integration of photovoltaics into building exteriors has presented a challenge for solar researchers, as a crucial balance between aesthetics and energy yield must be...
More than ever, communities around the globe are rapidly increasing their energy consumption as electrification of modern society increases with each passing year. As that insatiable need for electricity grows, power generators are responding to a...
The growth rates for solar in the last 5 years have been double-digit. As each solar panel goes up, however, so does the need for solar panel cleaning maintenance; yet the growth of solar maintenance technicians has not matched demand. This gap...
The demand for residential solar operations and maintenance (O&M) services is growing rapidly, driven by the increasing number of aging photovoltaic (PV) systems and a surge in orphaned solar projects. As of May 2024, the United States has...
Soil erosion along the driplines of ground-mounted solar panels shows how human-made systems and natural environments interact in complex ways. Solving this problem requires a detailed understanding of factors like the site’s slope, gradients,...
“There's birth. There's death, and in between there's maintenance.” While Tom Robbins wrote this in Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates about us humans, the same sentiment can be applied to solar assets. Most of a clean energy...
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory predicts that utility-scale PV deployment in the U.S. will continue to grow exponentially over the next few...
