Jake Edie moves this week from VP of Marketing for Clean Energy Associates (now Intertek CEA), to take the helm of RenewComm LLC, the leading cleantech marketing and PR agency founded in 2004 and known for its industry expertise. 

“The number one way to avoid erosion is to avoid grading,” said Jenya Meydbray, chief commercial officer of Nevados. “If the grass is there, you’re not disturbing the site, you’re just working in harmony with the natural environment.”

In a bold move to address safety concerns in the energy storage industry, Sungrow, a leading provider of renewable energy solutions, recently conducted a groundbreaking live fire test of its PowerTitan energy storage system.

According to a report by Clean Energy Associates, U.S. manufacturers could be rendered uncompetitive by paying a 50% premium for their most critical component that isn’t produced in any quantity domestically.

“My family homesteaded in New Mexico in 1906. They came in a covered wagon. They stopped in Quay County and dug a hole, put a roof on it, and lived there. They were hauling every drop of water for miles for years. I give them credit for just the pure grit of survival.”

Industry analysis group Clean Energy Associates said the tariff increases could result in cost increases of 11% to 16% for US battery storage projects, but that the impact on demand would likely be "limited"

The Nevados All Terrain solar tracker can be assembled and installed faster than any tracker in its class, according to a new report from Eclipse-M, a leading independent technical consultant for solar project construction.

Domestic solar manufacturing is seeing an unprecedented boom as the industry reaps the tax benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act. Nevados produces the All Terrain Tracker, a solar tracking system capable of installing on difficult topographies, in partnership with Priefert Steel in Mt. Pleasant, Texas.

247Solar said it is one step closer to commercializing its solar thermal electric generating technology, which has been under development for more than a decade.

Jan Cihlar and Corina Melchor from Altenex Energy unpack the outlook for Europe’s corporate renewable PPA market, a market that is expanding as project and PPA volumes increase.

“This is the first time a standalone battery site has provided grid-forming services at this scale,” said Mike Snyder, senior director, Tesla Megapack.

Priefert Steel announced it would begin manufacturing equipment for Nevados, which makes solar mounts and trackers—the machinery that automatically orients the solar panels toward the sun throughout the day.

“When I was 10 years old I was something of the local electrician in my neighborhood. My father was an electrical engineer in India who worked setting up power plants. The phone would ring about a problem at one of the plants, and I would answer and say, ‘Send a car and my father will fix it.’ I was his dispatcher.”

Reporters are in the business of reporting news, not promoting companies. If your release is written like a news story, some outlets will literally cut and paste it. On the other hand, if it looks like company promotion, they probably won’t take the time to rewrite it.
