Pro’s Choice: Solar installers launch petition to change module-level shutdown

Pro’s Choice: Solar installers launch petition to change module-level shutdown | #TpromoCom #Solar #GreenEnergy #SolarPower | Scott Carman of Paragon Solar routinely sees burned out solar module connectors doing O&M work replacing broken panels. Many of these jobs involve stranded systems installed by companies now out of business (solarbuildermag). https://bit.ly/3qYqSkh

It is during these “R&R” jobs to replace busted panels that he finds burned out connectors, just by happenstance. Using some back-of-the-napkin math, he guesses that for every 100 calls, he’ll come across four or five of these burned out connectors.

On the one hand, yes, that is the perspective of one person in one little corner of the country. But on the other hand — wow — that is just one guy in one corner of the country. And there is a growing group of veteran solar installers who are concerned this anecdote is more of a widespread trend that will only get worse unless there are changes made to NEC 690.12. In fact, they’ve started a petition to request changes be made. Here's their perspective. (read more)

Buyer Beware: Lessons Learned from Inverter Testing

Buyer Beware: Lessons Learned from Inverter Testing | #TpromoCom #Solar #Solar Energy #Inverter | Can you trust an inverter datasheet? Results from independent testing show that datasheets can mislead buyers: reported efficiency may be impossible to achieve in real-world conditions, and certifications do not guarantee safe operation. https://bit.ly/2PXEj7w With independent testing, inverter buyers and system owners can stop relying on marketing materials and use real data for product qualification instead. Solar developers, investors and asset owners need the right information to build more accurate energy yield and financial models — and avoid O&M headaches, underperformance and premature failure. Join Tara Doyle and Devin Hawkins of PV Evolution Labs (PVEL) for an in-depth look at inverter performance based on results from independent testing in PVEL’s Product Qualification Program (PQP).  Webinar: Tuesday, April 6, 2021 at 2:00 PM EDT (read more)

New Wind Farm To Increase West Virginia's Wind Power By Nearly 15%

New Wind Farm To Increase West Virginia's Wind Power By Nearly 15% | #TpromoCom #RenewableEnergy #WindFarm | Clean, renewable energy for West Virginia residents surged forward today when Clearway #Energy Group selected the Bechtel-Reed & Reed Joint Venture, to build its Black Rock wind farm in Grant County and Mineral counties. The new wind farm represents a nearly 15% increase in the state's wind power and will produce enough green energy to power 34,000 homes. http://bit.ly/3qWvYhF

The Bechtel-Reed & Reed team, will engineer, procure, and construct the farm. The project will include twenty-three Siemens-Gamesa SG 5.0-145 wind turbines on 107.5-meter tall towers, producing 115 MW of electricity at the point interconnection to the First Energy electrical grid.

"We're excited to partner with Bechtel and Reed & Reed and look forward to potential that their combined resources can bring to this critical project," said Chris Fox, Vice President of Construction at Clearway Energy Group. "This represents Clearway's second renewable project in West Virginia, and provides a great opportunity for us to add construction jobs and permanent positions to our existing workforce in the state.
