Many states use SRECs to incentivize #solar development and generate #cleanenergy. In #NewJersey, #SREC programs have been in place for almost 20 years, successfully accomplishing the goal of increasing #solarenergy capacity. According to the @Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), New Jersey ranks 10th in solar capacity by state with the industry being worth $15 billion while supporting over 6,500 jobs. SRECs are critical to the development and growth of #solarprojects. Without these important tools, progress like this would not be possible. #sustainablefuture

When we first meet with people interested in solar, we always ask them about their goals - are they hoping to reduce their electric bill? Obtain back-up power in an outage? Reduce their carbon footprint? In New England we're seeing more people talk about "energy independence" as a primary motivator for going solar. This industry trend makes sense in the face of growing climate disasters and rising energy costs. Fortunately, achieving home energy independence is straightforward and can be done in a series of steps. From energy-efficient appliances and insulation to solar arrays and battery backup systems, there's something in this guide for everyone: https://lnkd.in/gHZycWej #ClimateResilience #EnergyIndependence #SolarEnergy

New York shines bright:  A historic leap in solar power investment New York State is making history with its commitment to invest in nearly 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of solar projects — marking the largest-ever clean energy investment by a single US state. This aims to create 8,300 jobs and generate 1.5 GW of solar power, enough to supply electricity to 2.6 million homes. The initiative is also a major step to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. New York's leadership in renewable energy is setting an example for the nation, emphasizing the state's dedication to using clean energy sources, propelling economic growth and environmental sustainability. #Solarblocks #solar #solarenergy #solarpower #solarpanels #solarinstallation #solarpanelinstallation #solarinstallers #newyork #us

Pennsylvania, which lags behind most states in deploying solar energy, is getting $156 million in federal aid to put solar panels on more than 14,000 residential homes in low-income and polluted communities, in both urban and rural areas.

This video from Solar States offers a nice breakdown of what smart panels do and why they are a great choice for solar + storage homeowners. Things get especially good about two minutes in.

The Maryland Energy Administration has launched the Maryland Solar Access program, aimed at providing significant incentives for income-eligible Maryland households to install solar panels. Eligible households can receive up to $7,500 based on a $750-per-kilowatt incentive for direct current solar capacity. The program aligns closely with the recommendations from the 2023 Maryland Task Force to Study Solar Incentives and aims to help Marylanders reduce energy bills and carbon footprints. Grants will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, and solar systems owned by third parties will qualify. Additionally, the program replaces the Residential Clean Energy Rebate Program, and Maryland also promotes standardized solar permitting through the Solar Automated Permit Processing Plus (SolarAPP+). For more details, visit the Maryland Energy Administration’s Solar Access program webpage. Responses to maximize program impact are due by 3:00 P.M. ET, June 30, 2024. 🌞💡 Learn more: https://ow.ly/WbKM50RNtMo #PrismSolarPower #RenewableEnergy #RooftopSolar #CleanEnergy #SolarEnergy #SmartInvestment #Sustainability #CleanEnergyFuture #MarylandSolar

Our VP of Projects, Joseph Lipari, was quoted in Wirecutter’s 10 Questions to Consider Before Buying Solar Panels! ☀️ "The Inflation Reduction Act also improves certainty and long-term planning in the solar industry itself, said Joe Lipari, vice president of projects at Brooklyn SolarWorks...And that should help smaller, customer-oriented local solar contractors—such as Brooklyn SolarWorks—stick around. We strongly recommend working with such a contractor, versus a large national firm whose business model prioritizes sales over service." https://ow.ly/9nC650SoHjU #NYT #NewYorkTimesArticle #NYC #NewArticle #feature #solar #solarpower #solarenergy #RenewableEnergy #sustainablity #newyork #GreenEnergy #InflationReductionAct #LocalContractors #CustomerOriented #SolarIndustry #SustainableLiving #CleanEnergy #SolarAdvice #SupportLocal #EnergyEfficiency #SolarInstallation

#climateactivists and #legislators in #Massachusetts are working together on an #omnibus aimed at reshaping the state's energy landscape. While there's a clear goal of transitioning away from traditional #naturalgas, it's essential to consider alternative pathways that could facilitate a smoother transition to #carbonneutrality by #2050. #renewablenaturalgas presents a promising opportunity to bridge the gap between our current energy infrastructure and a sustainable future. By harnessing RNG, we can #reduceemissions while leveraging existing pipelines and infrastructure, minimizing disruption to communities and industries. As discussions progress, it's crucial to explore all viable options striking a balance of environmental objectives and practical considerations. Ultimately, all parties seek an outcome benefitting both the planet and communities. #rng #energytransition #renewableenergy

🌿 Celebrating #InternationalBioDiversityDay #BePartofthePlan 🌿 Today, on May 22nd, we recognise International Day for Biodiversity, a day dedicated to highlighting the crucial role of #biodiversity in maintaining the health of our planet and supporting human #wellbeing. At Elecnor Australia, we are proud to contribute to biodiversity through #SolarFarms. Did you know that solar farms can create habitats that support diverse plant and animal species? Our #Renewables team is dedicated to integrating renewable energy production with the promotion of thriving #ecosystems. Let's use this day to reaffirm our commitment to protecting the rich variety of life on Earth. By balancing energy generation with environmental stewardship, we can ensure a sustainable and resilient future for all. #elecnoraustralia #elecnorgroup #acenaustralia #cleanenergy #renewableenergy #solarenery #ecofriendly #cleanenergyfuture #sustainability #netzero

Project Spotlight: Dimension Energy – NY2 & NJ7 In partnership with Dimension Renewable Energy , this project spans nine sites across New Jersey and New York. These installations offer cost-effective solar solutions to residents. The 28.04-megawatt (MW) portfolio is projected to generate 37 gigawatt-hours (GWh) over its lifespan. This energy production will offset 26,000 metric tons of CO2 annually—equivalent to the emissions from burning nearly 30 million pounds of coal or sequestering carbon similar to over 56,000 acres of forest each year. Discover the community and environmental impacts of these installations: https://lnkd.in/dm87fCdH #ITC #SolarInvestment #SolarTaxCredit #TaxCredits
