The US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has updated its annual cost modeling tool in light of the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). It has identified higher labor costs for utility-scale solar projects and falling hardware costs due to new manufacturing tax credits.
In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that solar asset operators across North America experienced a shift in October’s solar performance, as regions that experienced higher than normal irradiance in September saw a reversal in trends.
Bluetti, a US solar and storage specialist, has developed a modular 7,600 W lithium iron phosphate battery system for residential settings, with 9.9 kWh to 19.8 kWh of flexible energy storage capacity.
ClearVue plans to install clear solar glass on a System USA greenhouse in California, adding 82 kW of power.
Central inverters still dominate the US utility-solar market but string inverters are beginning to get more traction in projects above 10 MW in size.
Electrical overcurrents can not only damage systems, but also cause costly downtime. Fuses are said to be a great way to protect a battery energy storage system (BESS) simply and cost-effectively. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will learn which fuse coordination approach to take in different circumstances as well as how to properly size fuses within the system for the effective protection of BESS power circuit.
At the recent pv magazine RoundtablesUS 2023 event, four experts weighed in on PV module choices now and into the future, with TOPCon in the spotlight, but perovskite and tandem HJT on the not-too-distant horizon.
US-based thin-film PV manufacturer First Solar says it has raised its expectations for 2023 as its order backlog continues to grow.
IEEFA and JMK Research say that Indian solar module manufacturers will continue to sell products in the US market until July 2024. However, exports could stagnate in 2025 and decline from 2027 due to domestic capacity development under the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Curtailment of power output increases when solar generation surpasses transmission capacity.
