What USDA’s Proposed AFIDA Changes Could Mean for Solar Development

Building a solar project requires more than engineering and equipment. Land rights, project ownership, financing and regulatory compliance can be just as important to whether a project ultimately reaches construction. A proposed U.S. Department of Agriculture rule highlights how closely those issues can intersect. USDA has proposed significant revisions to regulations implementing [...]

Renewable Energy’s Next Challenge: Managing Solar and Wind Waste

 The rapid growth of renewable energy is creating cleaner electricity generation across the United States, but every energy technology also has a physical lifecycle.Solar panels and wind turbines are designed to operate for decades. Eventually, however, equipment reaches a point where it must be repaired, replaced, repurposed or recycled.As more renewable-energy projects [...]

Why Community Solar Grows in Some States — and Stalls in Others

Community solar offers a simple idea with complicated execution. Instead of installing solar panels on their own property, participating customers subscribe to a larger solar project located elsewhere and receive electricity-bill credits tied to their share of the project's generation. That model can expand access to solar for renters, apartment residents, businesses [...]

Could Remote Inspections Make Residential Solar and Battery Projects Faster?

Homeowners considering solar usually think about panels, batteries, savings, backup power, and financing. They probably do not spend much time thinking about the building inspector. But permitting and inspections can have a major impact on how quickly a completed solar or battery installation actually moves through the final stages of approval. California [...]

Solar Panel Recycling Is Growing. Now the Industry Has to Prove It Can Scale

The rapid expansion of solar power is creating a second industry that receives considerably less attention: what happens to photovoltaic modules when they reach the end of their useful lives. As America's installed solar fleet matures, recycling will increasingly become part of the economics and environmental performance of solar energy itself. A [...]

How AI and Patent Risk Are Changing the Future of Solar and the Smart Grid

How AI and Patent Risk Are Changing the Future of Solar and the Smart Grid The transition to clean energy is often described in physical terms: more solar panels, larger battery systems, expanded transmission networks, and new renewable-energy projects. But behind this visible infrastructure is another transformation that may prove equally important. [...]
