Community solar has expanded access to solar adoption to communities struggling to adopt rooftop PV, according to research from the Lawrence Berkeley Lab (LBL) and the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL).
The US Department Of the Interior (DOI) has granted permits to over 25GW of renewable energy capacity on public lands, a milestone originally earmarked by the Biden administration for 2025.
Virtual power plants (VPPs) in California, US, could provide over 7.5GW of capacity, around 15% of peak demand by 2035, according to a report from consultancy The Brattle Group for non-profit GridLab.
Over 6.5GW of US solar PV capacity will be totally obscured from sunlight by today’s full solar eclipse, according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
