Advanced solar inverters could be one of the biggest distributed energy resource communications and control points out there someday. With California now requiring at least early-stage “smart” capabilities from all new solar projects — and a standards road map for next-stage efforts like real-time communications and active controls — this future now has a template.
There are still a lot of unanswered questions about how smart inverters will be used.
That was the consensus at...
Florida, often referred to as the Sunshine State, has truly embraced its nickname by becoming a leader in solar power adoption. In 2024, Florida installed the second-highest solar power capacity in the United States, marking a significant milestone in the state’s journey toward clean energy....
With a fast-growing global population and increasing levels of industrialization, demand for electricity is expected to soar 60 percent between now and 2040. That means power grids will be called on to transmit more power, more efficiently. And to do so, they’ll have to adapt to an evolving...
