"According to the U.S. Solar Market Insight Q2 2024 report released today by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie, total U.S. solar module manufacturing capacity now exceeds 26 GW annually. "In addition, the industry also installed an impressive 11.8 GW of new solar capacity, bringing total capacity to 200 GW in the United States. The report also contains new data from 2023, showing that the United States added over 40 GW of new solar capacity last year. Wood Mackenzie now projects that the U.S. solar industry will install another 40 GW in 2024." #solar

A huge $2 billion solar + storage project in California powers up One of the US’s largest solar + battery storage projects is now online in Mojave, California. Arevon Energy’s Eland 1 Solar-plus-Storage Project combines a 384-megawatt (MW) solar farm with a 150-MW/600 MWh battery storage system. Its second phase, Eland 2, is under construction and set to go live in early 2025. Once completed, the combined project will provide 758 MW of solar capacity and 300 MW/1,200 MWh of energy storage in Southern California, with a total investment of over $2 billion

"According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), more than 114 GW dc of utility-scale solar projects are currently either under construction or development in the United States (that’s enough new generation to power more than 85 million homes!) These costly infrastructure developments are driven by economics and are growing in size and frequency as the cost of materials goes down and the demand for renewable energy goes up. As the project size and number of projects concentrated in one area rises, so does the complexity of integrating these projects reliably into existing networks. An important aspect of utility-scale solar projects, and one that solidifies its economic viability, is the power purchase agreement (PPA). Many utility-scale power plants are only built once sufficient power PPAs have been secured, guaranteeing off-takers (and revenue) for the power that the plant will produce. But an interesting quirk of the business is that the developers who build the plants are not necessarily in it for the power generation revenue. " Keep reading this piece from Kat Beaulieu of PXiSE Energy Solutions on Energy Central now: https://lnkd.in/ePaZPmpA

Ørsted switches on 1.2 GWh Arizona battery 🔌 Pinal County’s Eleven Mile Solar System has come online featuring one of the largest battery energy storage systems built in a single phase in the U.S. All battery enclosures for the project were delivered by Fluence ☀️ Denmark’s largest power provider and wind project developer Ørsted and and US utility Salt River Project have switched on the Eleven Mile Solar Center, a 300 MW solar project collocated with a 300MW/1200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), in Pinal County, Arizona. 🔋 The project is part of Ørsted’s $20 billion dollar investment in US energy generation projects. Eleven Mile Solar Center is SRP’s largest co-located solar and BESS project, providing power to businesses, homes, and Meta’s data center in Mesa, AZ ⚡️ “Arizona has one of the highest growth rates of electricity in the country due to the surge in data centers and the reshoring of American manufacturing. With our first project in Arizona now complete, we’re thrilled to help meet the growing demand of the state and region with reliable, domestic energy,” said David Hardy, Group EVP and CEO Americas at Ørsted ⚡️ The project represents an approximate $1 billion investment by Ørsted in clean energy for Arizona and will generate approximately $80 million to the local community for public services in the form of tax revenue, the company said in a press release 💵 Technology suppliers were US-based companies, such as First Solar, Fluence and Nextracker Inc. in procuring panels, batteries, and tracking equipment for the project 🔨 Read more below 👇 #renewables #cleanenergy #bess #batteryenergystoragesystens #batterystorage #arizona #energy #renewableenergy #developer #solar #pv #sustainability #technology

When it comes to powering your solar panel system, the type of battery you choose can significantly affect its efficiency and performance. One popular option gaining traction in the renewable energy market is the 180-ah Solar Battery. This blog post will explore why the Battery 180 Amp is perfect for your solar panel needs and how it can benefit your overall energy setup. https://lnkd.in/dWWkgdwC

One to four hours of battery storage 🔋 for a solar power ☀ facility can significantly increase site revenue in areas with high population density or abundant solar energy. In load centers, converting standalone plants to #solar-plus-storage with one-hour storage increased the value of those plants by 48.8%, from $33.8/MWh to $50.3/MWh. In variable renewable energy-rich areas. This trend was even more pronounced: one-hour batteries increased solar and wind plants’ median values by 80.5% and 81.1%, respectively. via John Fitzgerald Weaver and pv magazine USA

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) reports strong trends in the deployment of solar and battery storage by some of the biggest US corporations. Installation of distributed energy projects are becoming increasingly important for industrial operations, due to growing power demand from data centers and the upward inflationary pressures on electricity prices.   https://lnkd.in/e3G9BK2y
