At 320 MW of energy being produced from a solar farm, the planned West Gardner Solar farm would be about the 5th largest solar farm in the U.S.  (https://lnkd.in/gbnCTYuV). This will be the first large scale solar farm in Kansas, located just a few miles southwest of the Kansas City metro area. The site will also house 128 MW of battery energy storage for making energy available when the sun is not able to power the PV panels.   The project still has to gain all the local and state approvals so it won't be generating for about three more years. Besides the approvals, the project is also fighting the Not in My Backyard (NIMBY) syndrome, which is common for all generating plants. But if the project does pass these hurdles, it very well could be generating power that would be used by a large, nearby EV battery factory that is currently under construction. That plant is to be producing batteries in 2025. NovaTech Automation is proud to provide equipment and services to both Evergy and NextEra Energy, Inc., the two main organizations involved with the project. ☀ #renewableenergy #solarproject #keepitcool See what our Climate Team is reading and writing at keepitcool.earth: our journey of decarbonization.

How do you sell energy back to the national grid? It's as simple as submitting a few forms.

As one of our commercial Solar PV installs begins this week, we thought it an opportune time to share four compelling reasons to install a solar energy system: 1. **Cost Savings** Reducing expenses is an obvious benefit. Assuming cash flow isn't an issue, a solar system is almost guaranteed to save you money. The only question is how quickly you'll see a return on your investment. Unless you're particularly unfortunate with maintenance issues, weather conditions, and initial costs, you'll save money compared to traditional energy sources. 2. **Reliability** Ensuring a consistent power supply is another critical reason to consider commercial solar installations. An independent energy source protects you from power outages and price fluctuations. 3. **Environmental Impact** Opting for a commercial solar system also addresses environmental concerns. There are numerous benefits, grants, and regulations related to renewable energy. Once you switch to solar, you'll likely qualify for various incentives, rebates, tax breaks, and more. 4. **Public Relations** Public opinion is increasingly favouring renewable energy, and more consumers are making purchasing decisions based on environmental considerations. This trend is gaining momentum, and businesses slow to adopt renewable energy risk losing customers. Contact us today and start your Solar PV journey. #SolarPV #AberdeenSolar #NetZero #Orka

It's only cost-effective if it's effective. Installing Solar PV isn't difficult - but designing a system that will minimise your dependence on the grid takes preparation and a specific understanding of your business's energy needs. In one of our recent projects, we took nearly 20,000 data points at half-hourly intervals to ensure we understood what system would enable our client to generate the maximum possible energy for the minimum possible cost. It's the difference that's made by prioritising design and surveying over installation. If you are a business looking for a partner to design a Solar PV system for you, we can do it - absolutely free ➡️https://lnkd.in/g_TWMtmk #solarenergy #renewableenergy

What planning permission or permits do you need to install solar? In most cases you should be good to go but we'll let Dean give you a little more detail 😁 #solarpv #renewableenergy #planning #solardesign ----- Hi! 👋 We're Atlantic Renewables and we install cutting edge solar PV systems for homes and commercial properties ☀ Follow to learn more about solar PV systems and the free, green energy they generate.

Great news that commercial rooftop PV in Scotland no longer requires planning permission! Previously permitted development only applied to PV systems under 50kW in Scotland, but from May this year that will no longer be the case, meaning that the additional costs and delays associated with planning applications no longer need to be a consideration for your renewables project. If you are currently considering installing solar PV on your commercial property, it may be easier now than you thought. And with our range of funding solutions we can take away the need for up front capital expenditure.

Decentralised Solar Systems are increasingly becoming the go-to choice for the generation of power. Two main reasons why this is the case are; i) Reliability- the energy supply is constant and not prone to blackouts ii) Reduced Costs -After recouping the initial investment, the energy supply has minimal cost Get in touch today and let us create a customised solar solution for you and your business. #CommunitySolarExperts #SolarSolutions #SolarinUganda

Did you know the Texas grid has the highest solar capacity out of all states in the US?   Last year, Texas surpassed California as the state with the highest installed solar capacity on its grid. ERCOT recently reported 18,365 megawatts of solar power capacity installed, as of September 30. That is enough to serve nearly 3.7 million homes.   California still leads in total solar installations, but this shift marks an exciting point in Texas as it reaches more sustainable energy sources.   How do you stay updated on the energy industry?

Gaskell West 2-3 is different from your average solar farm—it's a game-changer. Rosendin Electric served as the project’s subcontractor and employed 425 construction workers from local unions during peak construction. Gaskell West 2-3 includes 140 MW of solar energy plus 80 MWh energy storage systems. That's enough energy to power about 18,000 homes! This project is located in Kern County, California, and includes a solar farm and battery storage capabilities. The construction of the solar-plus-storage facilities was a testament to efficiency, taking just nine months to complete. The project achieved commercial operations on May 5, 2023, marking a significant milestone in the renewable energy sector. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPowerProjects #SolarPower #BatteryStorage

***Considering Commercial Solar?*** Solar PV is considered one of the most reliable and safe investments that can provide returns exceeding those of traditional lower risk financial products. Generating your own solar energy will significantly reduce your carbon footprint, increase your company’s sustainable credentials and improve your business reputation. Speak to The Energy Group for a no obligation quotation and solution design. We supply, install and support solar power and renewable energy solutions across all industries throughout the UK. [email protected] Solar panels generate free, green electricity during daytime hours, lowering your business demand for energy from the grid and potentially saving thousands of pounds on energy bills. Any surplus power can also be sold to the grid for additional return on investment. The grid and regional network operators are struggling to meet the UK’s growing energy demands and the government’s recent introduction of mandatory energy audits for large businesses Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and the possibility of further energy usage regulation, independent solar installations are an excellent backup measure. #TheEnergyGroup #SolarPV #CarbonReduction #CommercialSolar #InvestmentInGreenEnergy
