DC-coupled solar-plus-storage is becoming increasingly common for front-of-the-meter (FTM) applications and is likely to become dominant in the residential market, according to a new report from Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables. Further, while eligibility for the federal Investment Tax Credit is one factor in the growing share of DC-coupled FTM systems, FTM DC coupling is expected to rise even beyond the ITC stepdown in 2021.

5. Old Mike was a conservative-leaning talk radio fan who loved muscle cars. (He has a 1970 Chevelle in mint condition parked in his garage next to his hybrid.) He was not an environmentalist.

Then during Intersolar Europe, on June 21, reports of a global PV module price collapse came flooding in, with PVInsights estimating that average PV module prices had fallen to $0.278 per watt for standard multicrystalline modules, while multi-PERC modules came in at an average of $0.337 per watt, and mono-PERC modules at $0.363 per watt. Taiwan-based EnergyTrend also reported average prices of $0.295 per watt to $0.367 per watt, depending on the module type.

In the realm of electric vehicles (EVs), ABB launched what it said was the world’s fastest EV charger. The Terra High Power charger can charge an EV in just eight minutes, it said, thus adding up to 200 km of range.

The H300 is a wall-mounted energy storage solution that consists of the H5001 hybrid inverter and a 5kWh LNMC battery. The H300 solution is now available in a 10-kWh configuration using two battery packs and a master box.

Correction: Hydrogen is the most abundant resource in the universe. Due to an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated that fact.

Breathing in high concentrations of the chemical TCE has been linked to kidney cancer, liver cancer and lymphoma

The threshold of enhancement-mode GaN FETs is lower than that of silicon MOSFETs. This is made possible by the almost flat relationship between threshold and temperature along with the very low gate-to-drain capacitance (CGD). The device starts to conduct significant current at 1.6 V, so care must be taken to ensure a low impedance path from gate-to-source when the device needs to be held off during high-speed switching.

“Our member companies, some of which make inverters, are committed to developing products that contribute to greater grid security,” Whitten said.

“The highest demand on the system is six o’clock on a winter weekday evening,” Bunney tells Inverse. “Generally the wind won’t be blowing, the sun certainly won’t be shining. Whatever the renewables do, we still need to be able to meet that demand. However, storage and batteries really unlock this, which is very exciting.”
