Description

This course provides participants with both practical and theoretical knowledge on utility-scale commercial and industrial solar and storage systems, emphasizing real-world applications and current technologies. As the second part of a series, it builds on foundational concepts but can be taken on its own. Participants will explore topics such as hydrogen and battery storage, system financial benefits, and case studies to evaluate future projects. The course is designed to help professionals develop a deep understanding of energy storage systems (ESS) and their role in creating strong returns on investment.

In addition to project evaluation, the course covers critical aspects of ESS development, from selecting project partners to understanding current costs and financing options. Participants will also learn about the latest advancements, like AI, the Internet of Things (IOT), and the role of electric vehicles in energy storage. With a focus on best practices in fire safety, cyber security, and operations, this course equips professionals with the tools to successfully plan, implement, and manage utility-scale solar and storage projects.

Women in Solar

While solar installation and technician jobs may have been dominated by male workers in the past, women are now entering the field at a growing rate. Overall, women make up about one-third of all solar jobs, but when we look at the installer side of the workforce, women still only

Charging Ahead

Following the growth in solar and wind power generation, battery storage at grid scale is entering the mass adoption phase. New large scale projects in California, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Vermont highlight the real world applications. LG Energy Solution Vertech plans to build 10 grid-scale battery storage facilities with a

The Future of the IRA - Where to Find the Jobs

Over the past two weeks there has been a lot of discussion about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the renewable energy and clean energy spaces. People (like me) with businesses in these industries, and who were depending on IRA funding to continue driving demand, have been questioning what the

More than a Gigawatt Per Day!

The installation rate for solar power across the globe has skyrocketed, and that is very good news! The industry is now turning on more than a gigawatt of solar every single day. That is like building and starting a new nuclear or natural gas power plant every day, somewhere in
