Curtailment rates are higher in regions that need substantial grid infrastructure expansion to connect renewable energy installations to consumption centres. Effective system planning is thus crucial for well-integrated wind and solar PV growth and should encompass considerations such as the regional distribution of generation and the development of policies to encourage system flexibility. #renewables #energytransition #gridresilience

NEW REPORT: After a record-setting 2023, the U.S. installed 11.8 GW of new solar capacity in Q1 of 2024, bringing total capacity to over 200 GW in the United States.    That’s enough to power over 36 million homes.     Plus, a record-setting 11 GW of new solar module manufacturing capacity came online in Q1 2024, the largest quarter for solar manufacturing in American history.    The Solar Energy Industries Association and Wood Mackenzie's Solar Market Insight report has more⤵️   https://bit.ly/4c7n0pb  #solar #storage #cleanenergy #renewables #AmericanJobs #SolarMarketInsight

Solar Costs Have Fallen Now Precision is Key to Maximizing Returns. In 2010, solar PV installation costs stood at $4.00 per watt. Fast forward to 2023, and that cost has dropped to just $0.90 per watt—a 78% decrease that has transformed solar energy from a niche option to a global powerhouse. At 4cast, we’re driving the next phase of this process. As installation costs have fallen, the focus has shifted to optimizing performance. Our cutting-edge yield forecasts empower developers to maximize returns and navigate the complexities of renewable energy with confidence. #SolarEnergy #Renewables #4cast #EnergyTransition #Sustainability

Definitely a significant milestone! "The United States has officially exceeded five million solar installations, marking a significant achievement in the nation's #cleanenergy transition. This milestone comes just eight years after the U.S. reached one million installations in 2016 — a milestone that took 40 years to achieve following the first grid-connected #solarinstallation in 1973." #SDG7 #sustainableenergy #renewableenergy #sustainableenergyforall

The US solar energy industry is booming with continued growth expected, in part due to the Inflation Reduction Act. However, this rapid expansion is also leading to increased risks and challenges for solar developers and their insurers to grapple with. In Solar Power World, Melissa Marsh #AXIS Senior Renewable Energy Underwriter discusses how specialist renewable energy insurers are responding to support customers—and why understanding these dynamics is crucial for project owners and insurers to work together effectively.
