A Solar Power World article features Jay Smith, our Director of Asset Management, discussing how inverter manufacturers are embracing new technologies to simplify O&M procedures in the solar industry. Smith describes the present market as "a real puzzle of logistics, technical phone support, troubleshooting, coordination, and project management," with each day presenting a new challenge.
Acton Water District, EDF Renewables North America, and Standard Solar teamed up once again to enhance clean energy generation in Massachusetts. The Knox Solar + Storage initiative comprises 1.5 MW of solar and 2 MWh of battery storage, with the potential to offset more than 700 tons of coal burning's CO2 equivalent in a single year.
There is a critical connection between favorable state policies and the success of solar energy expansion. In this latest blog, Harry Benson, Director of Business Development, breaks down the remarkable growth of renewable energy, particularly in the commercial sector, in the state of Illinois.
In a pv magazine op-ed, Trevor Laughlin, Standard Solar's Policy and Regulatory Affairs Analyst, sheds light on the far-reaching effects of the new community bill in Maryland, specifically for low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities. He provides a detailed analysis of the bill's impact on numerous residents and businesses.
Earth Day serves as a vital reminder of the urgent need to commit our skills and resources to combat climate change. Renewable energy, particularly solar power, plays a pivotal role in these efforts. This awareness is fundamental to Standard Solar's mission, and it is why we strive tirelessly to bring solar energy to communities across the United States.
