The myths surrounding solar power are abundant. And it’s understandable if they’ve made you feel uncertain about whether solar power is even a good thing. We’re here to tell you that solar power is, most certainly, a vital part of a clean energy, regenerative future. As a part of Earth Month, our latest blog post debunks the 9 most common solar power myths. https://bit.ly/43YArFe

☀️ Delving into the Grid: Dr. Seb Berry's latest solar series for elemental examines the pressing issue of grid delays. Read on to uncover the challenges faced by solar developers and the industry's call for action. https://hubs.la/Q02mG6qz0

Joris van Mens shares why he is passionate about energy storage and the research he has done into the space around wind, solar, gaps in current storage systems, and the solutions he thinks are the most promising in the most recent CC Insights. Check it out on our Substack!

“The misconception that solar will always be intermittent is the constant problem that we face. What are you going to do when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine? My response: have you ever heard of a battery? We’ve got to get over that hurdle. Frankly, it's just an excuse and at best an uneducated excuse. We need to get over that and move on, and then figure out how we can best adopt the technologies of solar and storage that are plummeting in price, through empowering the individual.”—John Berger, Sunnova CEO Discover more in EnergyCapitalHTX's conversation with John as they discussed topics from misconceptions about #solarpower to the rise of the home as a #power station.

A #Battery definitively helps ... However, … a fully electrified home that depends on #BatteryStorage as its primary power source, … which during prolonged periods of grid instability and inclement weather is solely replenished by an “intermittent generator” (a.k.a. #Solar) … is now dependent on the equivalent of a “4ft blanket for a 6ft person” … way too many loads/grid/weather scenarios will still result in an empty battery and a homeowner that sits in the dark. Luckily, we have developed an #OnDemandEnergyAppliance (a.k.a. #FuelCell) … think: “4 solar panels that work at night” ... to augment the “intermittent generator” … and reliably fill in any sunshine gaps and enable the battery to keep the home running without unpleasant interruptions to the lifestyles of its inhabitants.

The world has already crossed a ‘tipping point’ on solar power. Solar power is playing an important role in countries’ plans to meet emissions-reduction goals set by the Paris Agreement, and as wind-power projects contend with rising costs.

Did you know that up to tens of percentage points of #solarenergy can be lost due to the rapid shading effect from wind turbines in combined solar farms? 💡 New research sheds light on this dynamic shading effect for the first time. Curious about how we can optimize this for better design?

Shared solar has recently swept the nation, bringing with it various benefits to nearby communities. In a new analysis, Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors found that all Virginia ratepayers would benefit from more shared solar. Read the full report summary here: https://hubs.li/Q02bxXnq0

These Two Myths About Solar Power Are Slowing The Energy Transition https://flip.it/DnWq1-

Our world's climate is intricately connected, and as we explore renewable energy solutions like vast solar installations, we must consider their broader effects. This fascinating research suggests that enormous solar farms, particularly in regions like the Sahara, could influence global climate patterns, redistributing rainfall and altering solar power generation. As we envision a future with extensive solar projects worldwide, it becomes crucial to foster international collaboration. The interplay of solar energy resources could shape our energy landscape, creating dependencies and opportunities. Let's work together to ensure that the benefits of solar energy are shared equitably. By collaborating on the spatial planning of large-scale solar projects, nations can develop fair and sustainable energy solutions, avoiding unintended risks to solar power production far away. #EarthResponsibility #SolarPower #ClimateImpact #RenewableEnergy #Collaboration
