Solar is going to work and cut your electric bills (possibly down to $0) no matter if things go back to normal or you are locked in at home under quarantine. This works everywhere. For example, we did astudythat looked at the potential for solar in snowy and cloudy Michigan. We found...
In the last 12 months, California has curtailed production of enough solar energy to power 518,000 homes for a year. Californians, whose electric rates are roughly twice the national average, are essentially paying for power capacity they are unable to use. The solar glut...
by 2030, almost one-third of the energy used by all homes and businesses in the country combined. AI is making doing tasks more trouble-free, but is also making consistent access to electricity troublesome. In 2019 alone, California experienced 25,281 blackouts, a 23% increase from the year...
While there have been solar panels installed over canals before in other countries, two academics explain how they could provide many benefits to California’s climate change objectives. Roger Bales, Distinguished Professor of Engineering, University of California, Merced and Brandi McKuin,...
In 2022, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) curtailed 2.4 million megawatt hours (MWh) of utility-scale wind and solar output, a 63% increase from the amount of electricity curtailed in 2021, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). At wholesale costs, that’s mi...
California's average cost per watt of capacity is $2.86, so you should expect to pay around $18,304 for a solar energy system. The federal solar tax credit for that installation would come in at $5,491, so your net cost would be $12,812. The cost per watt varies a lot across ...
Partner Roland Rechsteiner and coauthors say this could create significant opportunities for producers, traders, and major energy players to play evolved roles in markets. Partner Jochen Latz and coauthors analyzed the implications of Europe’s rapidly growing need for wind and solar ...
