Rooftop solar has the technical potential to serve 45% of electricity demand, based on 2022 demand levels, according to a new report from Environment America. As of that year, it served about 1.5% of consumed electricity.

The transition to California’s new net metering, ‘NEM 3.0,’ regime was justified, in part, as a way to support residential energy storage installations but the state policy has pushed rooftop solar off a cliff.

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has released an overview of the top US states for solar installations last year.

Oil giant Chevron said it expects its new solar-to-hydrogen project in California to produce about 2.2 tons of hydrogen per day by 2025.

Massachusetts expanded access to net metering, showing a commitment to distributed energy. The Department of Public Utilities expects to save ratepayers $10 million with the regulatory change.

The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) has approved a request from utility APS to raise rates and add a punitive charge to rooftop solar customers.

Arevon Energy secured the funds for a 374 MW solar project with 150 MW / 600 MWh of co-located energy storage.

Shoals Technologies Group, an electrical balance-of-systems (EBOS) specialist for the solar industry, says it will move its US manufacturing and distribution center to a new, larger facility.

Environment America says in a new report that rooftop solar could meet 45% of US electricity demand, despite currently only accounting for just 1.5% of electricity consumption.
