Enphase and SolarEdge to Collaborate in Arizona’s Grid Services Pilot

Enphase Energy, a microinverter provider, has revealed its involvement in Arizona’s home battery trial grid services program. According to APS, SolarEdge is also collaborating, so additional facilities will be added shortly. The decentralized energy resource program provides households with two alternatives for earning money through upfront incentives from participating companies. Customers that enroll in the program simply share their information with the providers. Details such as basic facts about them and their system are required. Homeowners will earn $500 for every installed kilowatt of storage capacity, up to a ...

20% of U.S. Electricity Supplied by Green Energy

Renewable energy generation accounted for 20.45 percent of total US output, owing to rapid development in solar and wind power. According to recent statistics given by the US EIA office, this occurred during the first three-quarters of 2021. According to the data, solar and wind energy climbed by 24.61 percent and 10.89 percent, respectively, during the first nine months of 2021. The numbers are in comparison to the same time in the previous year. They climbed by 15.00 percent altogether and accounted for more than 12.59 percent of total electricity generation in the country. Furthermore, wind and solar combined currently ...

How Green Energy and Emerging Economies Can Get Along

Emerging economies have an unquestionably daunting job in transitioning to greener and more efficient industries. This transformation, however, will have an impact on employment in fossil-fuel-based power generation, and if not handled from a sociological standpoint, it might have a severe impact on millions of people. Many of these countries are impoverished. These reasons emphasize the importance of a global power transfer that decreases inequality, promotes sustainable growth, and offers ...

Solar Market to Face A 25% Drop this Year

This year’s solar installations are projected to be hampered by logistical issues and price hikes in the solar distribution chain. The development might result in a 25% decline in solar installations, equivalent to 7.4 GW of power. Furthermore, trade policy uncertainties and supply chain bottlenecks are pushing solar price hikes for the second year in a row. This occurs in both the residential and business sectors. According to a report from U.S. Solar Market ...

How Governments Can Help Boosts Global Renewable Production

Recognizing the potential of customer-sited solar energy generation, researchers noted that the worldwide rooftop solar and storage sector was mostly unexplored. Falling installation prices provide a significant potential, but policy and tariff layout must allow rooftop solar penetration. For the first time since 2014, the yearly average for solar rooftop installation prices climbed in the United States. According to experts, President Biden’s solar objectives are challenged by short-...
