🔥Summer Is Heating Up

and So Are Opportunities for Solar 

In the last month, we launched our latest issue of RE:NEW - an online news resource featuring the latest news and information to help our customers and partners maximize the benefits of renewable energy. In this issue, we investigate how the industry can overcome the challenges of unfavorable policies — both federal and state. Also this month, we address partnerships and their vital importance, particularly in times of uncertainty, and how Rhode Island threw down the gauntlet in support of the clean energy transition with their newest renewable energy policy (whoot!). And finally, we continue to do our part in urging the federal government to pass legislation that will drive historic investments in clean energy. Read about these topics and more👇

The Latest Issue of RE:NEW Is Here! 

In this issue, experts weigh in on the industry's long- and short-term challenges in moving past unfriendly policies and tariff uncertainty. We also investigate how the industry can overcome ongoing problematic state and federal policies to ensure industry growth and stability. 

Article: Partnerships

Our Director of Business Development, Harry Benson, is passionate about partnerships. In a recent article, he illustrates a number of strategies employed by Standard Solar around relationships, project development and materials acquisition that have helped keep us growing (and succeeding) during these tough times. “Now, more than ever, we must all work together to keep our industry vital.”

Policy: Rhode Island

Rhode Island has become the first state to set a target of reaching 100% renewables. This impressive new goal sets a high bar for other states in the union and is breaking new ground for the clean energy transformation. This historic legislation states that all this will be in place by 2033. Let's hope more states follow their example and set renewable targets just as aggressively. 

How FERC Can Unleash Solar and Storage

In an article for pv magazine USA, C.J. Colavito, Standard Solar's VP of Engineering, examines the potential impact of the recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)'s proposed ruling. He explains how the proposal could open up the interconnection backlog and why the changes are so vital to our industry.
