The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports a significant increase in household investment in distributed energy resources since 2015, driven by rising incomes and technologies like rooftop solar and electric vehicles. In New York, distributed solar has outpaced utility-scale projects, benefiting local communities. Rooftop solar notably reduces energy costs for low-income families by up to 77%. Federal initiatives are directing investments towards electric vehicle infrastructure in these areas. There are calls to raise New York’s solar goal to 20 GW by 2035 for greater economic benefits.
SDG&E’s pilot ‘Virtual Power Plant’ can take over customers’ power when grid is strained
San Diegans in a desert community are engaged in a pilot program with SDG&E, allowing the utility to control their energy systems to reduce strain on the grid. This “virtual power plant” initiative involves managing smart devices like thermostats and solar panels to optimize energy use and distribution.
Scientists achieve over 1,000 degrees Celsius with solar power alone rather than fossil fuels
When you hear about solar energy, you immediately think of blue panels and clean electricity. However, electricity is just one type of energy. The sun’s energy also provides heat, which […]
Are solar farms really a threat to food farms?
The concerns surrounding the impact of solar farms on food production in Canada, particularly in Alberta, have led to a moratorium on large renewable energy projects. However, a closer look reveals that these projects occupy a small percentage of agricultural land.
