SolarCity has chosen Tesla to supply a 52MWh utility-scale energy storage system, which will make the output of a solar farm in Hawaii dispatchable.

A new report from GTM Research reveals that 20 states are already at grid parity with number to hit 42 by 2020.

Hawaii’s electricity regulator and main utility have recognised that customer-sited distributed energy resources (DERs), including rooftop PV and energy storage, can provide essential grid services and better visibility for network operators, the VP of Stem Inc's Hawaii operations has told Energy Storage News.

The Hawaii Electric Company (HECO) has threatened to cancel a power purchase agreement (PPA) with SunEdison after it missed a development milestone.

A trade council has been formed to support Hawaii’s aim of achieving 100% renewable energy generation by a group of behind-the-meter, distributed energy resource companies that includes solar microinverter maker Enphase.

The road will be “bumpy”, but solar in the US will continue outstripping predictions by traditional energy forecasters, reaching its next order of magnitude increase in installed capacity by 2030, according to an analyst at GTM Research.
