Solar Hybrid System *ARC* This system is a renewable energy system that uses solar photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate clean energy to power your home. A hybrid solar system intelligently switches between using solar power, battery storage and grid power. It allows you to avoid using grid power at peak prices leading to bill savings. Another step towards sustainable development goal.

Sand Batteries anyone? One of the challenges in the residential renewable energy field is the limitation of harvesting renewable energy, be that solar or wind resources is the intermittent nature of the resources: one can only capture solar when the sun is visible, and wind when the wind is blowing. TES (Thermal Energy Storage) could revolutionize home energy storage providing a solution for a reliable means of bridging the intermittent resource challenge. https://lnkd.in/gmC4GFtN

Why should you choose an off-grid solar generator over an on-grid? As more people shift towards environmentally friendly, renewable energy sources to contribute to a greener planet, solar energy emerges as a favoured option among homeowners. When making the switch to solar power, individuals are presented with the choice between a grid-tied solar system and an off-grid one. This begs the question: What makes an off-grid solar generator a preferable choice over an on-grid system? The answer lies in the carousel below. 👇

Here is your daily dose of Renewable Energy: Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) represent a transformative approach to managing electricity demand and integrating renewable energy sources into the grid. According to a recent report from the Department of Energy (DOE), tripling the current scale of VPPs by 2030 could significantly support the rapid electrification needed as electricity demand grows for the first time in a decade.

Great work on an important pillar of the energy transition.

Balancing Grid Efficiency and Renewable Energy: Navigating the Future of Power As the world continues its push toward clean energy, one of the biggest challenges remains: how do we strike the perfect balance between grid efficiency and the integration of renewable sources like wind and solar? 🌍 Grid Efficiency: Traditional energy sources still play a key role in meeting large-scale demand, ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply. 🌿 Renewable Integration: Transitioning to renewable energy is crucial for sustainability, but integrating these sources into the grid requires innovation in energy storage, distribution, and grid management. It’s not about choosing one over the other—it’s about finding the sweet spot where both work in harmony to create a sustainable and efficient energy future. What are your thoughts on how we can strike this balance? 🔋⚡ #RenewableEnergy #GridEfficiency #Sustainability #EnergyInnovation #CleanEnergy #FutureOfEnergy

For a clean energy economy to work, we need a reliable means of transferring and delivering that energy. In our home state of California, that simple concept has become a major problem — the surge in solar energy is being hampered by an outdated grid, resulting in millions of megawatt-hours of wasted renewable electricity. “According to Independent System Operator data, in recent years, the amount of renewable energy curtailed, or wasted, has skyrocketed from both oversupply and so-called congestion, when there’s more electricity than the transmission lines in some areas can handle. So far this year, the state has lost out on nearly 2.6 million megawatt-hours of renewable energy — most of it solar — more than enough to power all the homes in San Francisco for a year." We can and should expect better of our power grid. We have the tools and technology available to modernize grid infrastructure with high-capacity conductors built right here in California. https://lnkd.in/g93zSYDQ

What are “Time Of Use” energy rates and why is WRA working in Nevada to improve them? Time Of Use (YOU) rates allow residential customers who’ve opted in to control their monthly electricity bill by changing the timing of their energy use to hours when energy is cheaper. By using electricity during non-peak hours customers can see lower rates. TOU rates also help utilities increase the use of renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by incentivizing customer energy use during times when more renewable energy is available. This allows customers to save money and reduce emissions – a win-win for both the economy and environment. Find out more about WRA’s work in Nevada and TOU rates! https://lnkd.in/ggi8-VZP
