Battery Storage and the Growing Data Center Power Challenge

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence is creating an equally significant infrastructure challenge: powering the data centers behind it. As facilities grow larger and more energy intensive, developers are evaluating battery energy storage systems as one component of increasingly complex power strategies. But batteries are not equally suited to every data-center application. [...]

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 [...]

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 Procurement Is Moving Beyond Certification

Solar module certification remains essential, but today's developers and asset owners increasingly want evidence that goes well beyond a certificate or specification sheet.That shift reflects the changing economics of utility-scale solar. Projects are larger, operating expectations are longer, financing is more sophisticated, and relatively small differences in equipment reliability can create significant [...]

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 [...]

New Section 232 Solar Import Rules Could Reshape U.S. Manufacturing and Module Prices

A major new U.S. trade framework targeting solar import products and solar import could significantly alter the economics of the American solar industry, strengthening domestic manufacturing while potentially increasing equipment costs and creating new challenges for developers. The Section 232 framework discussed on a recent episode of The Solar Coaster reaches far [...]
