In this article from McKinsey and Company' article, “Residential Solar: Down, Not Out” argues that although 2024 brought a dip in rooftop solar installations—with high interest rates and changing incentives causing pullbacks—the core of the industry remains strong....
A new report says Big Tech could power all those energy-hungry AI data centers just by helping regular folks go solar. Instead of pouring billions into new gas plants, companies could invest in rooftop panels, home batteries, and heat pumps—cutting costs, boosting the...
PowerPair℠ from Duke Energy Progress provides incentives for customers who want to combine the savings of solar power with the reliability and security of backup battery storage. Participating North Carolina customers can earn one-time installation incentives when...
Turning farmland into a force for clean, affordable energy. Farmers Powering Communities is a collaborative initiative—launched in September 2022 by American Farmland Trust, Edelen Renewables, and Arcadia, and strengthened in May 2023 with Aggreko Energy Transition...
Global solar power is set to surpass nuclear electricity generation for the first time this summer, marking a milestone in the rapid expansion of renewables. While solar only produces during daylight and remains behind hydro, nuclear, and wind on an annual basis, its...
A new study from King’s College London suggests that space-based solar power (SBSP) could be a game-changer for Europe’s energy future, potentially slashing the need for land-based renewables by 80% and cutting overall system costs by 15% by 2050. Using a NASA design...
