Intersolar and Intersolar North America and Energy Storage North America organizers say 9,000 people will descend on San Diego to talk clean energy. Chaberton Energy’s team will be on site pursuing opportunities for community and commercial and industrial solar in California and across the nation.    This will be the second big conference we’ve attended in the Golden State in as many weeks. The solar and storage industry is so hot right now, and the opportunity for growth is so vast, that for developers like Chaberton, you absolutely have to be in the room. The personal connections, the deals you can make and the partnerships you can form are just too important to miss.    If you are going to be there, shoot Katherine Griffin a message— let’s talk about how, together, we can advance clean energy in communities and at commercial and industrial sites throughout the United States.     #solarenergy #solardevelopment #letstalksolar #solarconference #renewables #networking #solarpolicy #sustainability #energystorage #ISNAESNA #ISNAESNA2024  

It's ALMOST HERE: Minnesota Solar Energy Industries Association (MnSEIA)'s #GatewayToSolar Conference! Why are we sponsoring this important event? Because it takes a #MinnesotaBusiness to figure out how to save as much sunlight as possible! 🤣🌞🔋 And because we see a direct connection between our #SolarFuture and the need for better #EnergyStorage and #ElectricalProtection solutions ... in #factories, in #CommercialFacilities, and in #residential #ElectricalSystems. That's why we sponsor and attend Gateway to Solar, and why we partner with suppliers like EVESCO, Mersen, Y2 Solution, Techflex, Inc., and many others. To bring this sunny future to life.

Reminder that the #IESS market change goes live today, as noted via WattClarity here (with more to come): https://lnkd.in/gdzUz2FU IESS (and hybrid Solar + Storage) will be discussed at the Clean Energy Council's #ALSSSS2024 sessions tomorrow (Tue 4th) and Wed 5th June in Brisbane. In particular, looking forward to: 1) Former team member and WattClarity author Marcelle Gannon talking (Tuesday afternoon) about how reality sometimes does not match what the Excel model initially showed; and 2) Overwatch Energy Operations Manager Ellise Janetzki (Harmer) talking about these hybrid things ... the power stations of the future. Will we see you there?

David James recently highlighted the impact of Solar Cycle 25 and the increasing risk of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The solar events, such as the recent Northern Lights display, remind us of our solar system's volatility and the need for resilient, decentralized energy solutions. Off-grid solar power is crucial for sustainability and energy security. Iris Solar Technology is committed to providing reliable off-grid solutions for independence during unexpected disruptions. The recent solar flares emphasize the need to evolve our energy infrastructure. Let’s harness solar power more intelligently and sustainably.

What’s the biggest barrier to the delivery of European targets for renewables? According to industry experts at the 2024 Aurora Spring Forum, it’s grid connections and curtailment. This was a timely poll from Richard Howard ahead of my panel discussion on resolving Europe’s grid congestion challenge. A big thanks to my fellow panellists Nick Winser CBE FREng, Emeline Spire, Fintan Slye and our moderator, Kora Stycz, for bringing different perspectives and approaches – the UK is making great strides. We were all aligned on the urgent need to invest in infrastructure to ensure the grid is ready for the huge increase in renewables. This needs to be done speedily, sustainably, and considering all stakeholders. One issue we debated was around demand management and flexibility, and how much of this is a behavioural challenge, as opposed to technical? Thank you to Aurora Energy Research for another great event, and for the opportunity to be part of this important discussion! #Grids #RenewableEnergy #SolarPV #Storage

A Space Solar Power Station could provide low-cost renewable energy to Earth. The structure would require about two kilometres of solar panels, weighing around 2,000 tonnes, while delivering two GigaWatts of power back to Earth via a non-harmful microwave link. This could be a potentially cost-effective, low-carbon solution for the long-term. #netzero2050 #virtualorganisation #virtualteams

🎤 Ready to meet one of the innovative companies to grace Intersolar 2024 and the industry itself?? Today's episode follows NICO JOHNSON 🎙️ and his run-in with a company focused on reducing the cost and increasing the scalability of utility-scale solar, a company sailing quickly and making waves in the industry. 🚀 Taking the spotlight in today's interview from San Diego is Matt Campbell, Co-founder and CEO of Terabase Energy. We delved into the innovative solutions they're bringing to the table for utility-scale solar projects, including: 👉 The vision for achieving one cent per kilowatt-hour solar. 👉 Scaling up to meet terawatt-level demand. 👉 Overview of TeraBase's four key products: Plant Predict, Construct, TerraFab, and Plant Controls. 👉 Insight into the future of solar technology and automation. Exciting developments in solar technology and construction automation are paving the way for a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.

Heliene is attending RE+ Northeast next week! Across the Northeast, solar is poised to make a big impact for consumers, businesses, and the environment. According to the SEIA’s 2023 market insights:  ⚡24.48% of Massachusetts’ electricity comes from solar  📉Solar prices in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Vermont have fallen by 42% over the last 10 years ☀️New York is expected to add 8,923 MW of new solar in the next 5 years We look forward to chatting with developers, customers, and local leaders about the momentum for domestic solar manufacturing and installation in the Northeast and beyond. #REPlusNE #ussolar #madeinAmerica #solarmanufacturing
