The US Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has called on the US Congress to accelerate legislative reform for solar projects in the US.

The US Department of Energy has invested up to US$22 million to improve planning, siting and permitting of large-scale renewable projects.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) will commit US$475 million in funding for five clean energy projects at mine sites across the US.

The projects cover different types of clean energy, including solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and microgrids.

The US has the potential to add nearly 1TW of community solar capacity if all technically viable community solar is deployed, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Details of nearly 4,000 utility solar projects in the US have been compiled in what is being hailed as the most comprehensive public database of large-scale PV systems to date.

US residential solar companies Sunrun, Sunnova and power product supplier Generac have been selected by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to install rooftop solar and battery storage systems for vulnerable households in Puerto Rico.

As virtual power plants will be important in the future to help the grid, challenges around data sharing still persist.

Interest in agrivoltaics (agriPV) in the US has started to grow among several developers PV Tech spoke to at the RE+ solar and storage trade event in Las Vegas last week.

The US Department of Energy has announced that improvements will be made to two campuses of National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) with funding provided by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
