The 20MW/40MWh new energy supporting hybrid system power station in Yongzhou, Hunan, which has been successfully put into operation, is running stably and reliably. It can provide about 80,000 kWh of electricity during the peak power consumption period each day, significantly improving the local new energy consumption and energy consumption in Yongzhou. Power supply reliability. This project ...
Homeowners with solar panels are spreading the word about how to save with clean, affordable, and reliable energy. It’s true that solar panel installations are more affordable than ever, and that traditional energy has become more expensive than ever. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that so many people are sharing their experiences with going solar, and creating a sizable boost in de...
Solar energy is one of the most promising forms of renewable energy available today. It is clean, efficient, and has the potential to meet a large percentage of our energy needs. Despite all of its benefits, solar energy still faces some challenges regarding public perception. In particular, some people find it difficult to believe that solar power can be a viable source of energy for the future. ...
What Are the Benefits of Storing Solar Energy? Storing this surplus energy is essential to getting the most out of any solar panel system, and can result in cost-savings, more efficient energy grids, and decreased fossil fuel emissions. Storing solar energy has a few main benefits: 1.Balancing electric loads. If electricity isn’t stored, it has to be used at the moment it’s gener...
As heat waves become increasingly frequent, people are starting to ask whether PV systems can cope with such high temperatures. Inverter failure If an inverter becomes too hot, it usually switches itself off or reduces its power to such an extent that the higher ambient temperature does not harm it. This is known as temperature derating. The number of possible causes further reduces the percentage...
Solar is the lowest-cost source of electricity and battery-based energy storage is the least expensive flexible peaking capacity resource across much of the world today. Embracing a 100% clean energy future is not only imperative, but also the most economic path forward. The remarkable growth of Solar + Storage deployments is the result of two colliding trends: the falling cost of energy storage a...
Efficient solar energy storage is a fundamental pillar of the energy transition: allowing flexible renewable energy production and guaranteeing its integration into the grid. Electricity can be easily generated, transported and transformed. However, up until now it has not been possible to store it in a practical, easy and cost-effective way. This means that electricity needs to be generated conti...
EDF Renewables North America has signed a 15-year 332MWdc Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) with McDonald's USA. The power will come from the Apollo solar project in Texas, which is expected to come online in June 2024. After completion, the project can produce 619,000MWh of clean energy per year. In addition, the VPPA with EDF Renewables will bring McDonald's closer to its 2030 emissions re...
As hurricane season approaches, many people living in coastal areas wonder if their homes and businesses are prepared. One of the biggest concerns is whether or not solar panels can withstand the high winds and flying debris that come with these storms. The popularity of solar systems has increased as energy costs rise, but how are solar panels in heavy winds — and can they stand up to a hur...
