The US Department of Energy (DOE) has launched a US$30 million funding, from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to accelerate the interconnection process for new energy generation.

Lenny Tinker, PV program manager at the US DOE SETO, writes how the use of AI and machine learning can help improve solar PV performance.

Advances in AI will lead to a “paradigm shift” in solar asset management, with a range of complex analytics and plant performance processes becoming as simple as talking to a chatbot.

PV Talk: Govinda Upadhyay, CEO of SmartHelio, gives Ben Willis a sneak preview of an AI-based tool that he believes could herald a “paradigm shift” in tackling PV plant underperformance.

Solar, storage and other renewables projects are facing unprecedented interconnection queues in some parts of the US. Jonathan Touriño Jacobo reports on the struggle solar and storage developers are facing in getting projects off the ground and the efforts underway to ease the problem.

Amperon has launched its latest programme, which provides solar generation forecasts for individual sites and aggregate portfolios.

Global grid capacity needs to grow 2.5 times its current size, and annual expenditure on grids must more than double to US$970 billion by 2050, according to a new report from DNV.

At SNEC 2024, PV Tech spoke with Bruce Wang of Leapting Technology about the potential for processes such as automation in the PV sector.

As the unexpected happens, accurate forecasting becomes a vital tool to sustain grid operations, writes Tigo Energy's Evgeny Finkel.

BayWa r.e. has launched Ampero, a “new fintech company” that aims to use artificial intelligence to aid in the management of renewable assets.
