“We’ve had dozens of other clubs approach us about working with them in the same way,” Rebecca Dibb-Simkin, Octopus Energy’s director of product and marketing, tells Inverse.

The rise is also due to a new variation on DC-coupled system architecture that is making DC coupling attractive for FTM applications for the first time. Typically, behind-the-meter (BTM) DC-coupled systems use a single multi-port hybrid inverter tied to both batteries and the solar asset. While these inverters work well for the BTM market, they aren’t suited for FTM projects.

The Powerwall 2 still needs an inverter. The inverter that comes with the battery cannot be used to convert the DC power from the solar panels to AC. Its primary use is to convert AC power coming from the primary inverter or the grid to DC before storing it in the battery.

Paired with the ASSET360 cloud-based data analytics platform, which is available through Black & Veatch’s software subsidiary Atonix Digital, the microgrid raises STCH’s resilience and reliability by providing critical services during a power outage or other service anomaly. Designed to provide actionable insights about the microgrid’s performance, ASSET360 allows Shell operators to optimize operation based on energy demand, solar production and other conditions.

But he’s very happy with his system so far. He says he can typically spot a system malfunction using an app on his phone called SolarEdge, which collects real-time data from his rooftop as well as daily, hourly, and monthly data on his output.

Dunn is counting on Phase 2 of the solar system to pay for itself in less than three years. But the main challenge for many businesses is coming up with the initial investment money for installation.

It’s a major change, but New Mike wanted to cash in on his home’s extremely sunny location. And various state and federal government incentive programs and tax write-offs are helping bring the sticker price down by more than half, he says.

The Eco Explorer prices in at £24,995 (approx. US$32,625), and the Tribrid option adds another £2,000 ($2,600). The van can be exported to Continental Europe but only comes as a right-hand drive. Unfortunately, like so many other cool camper vans, Campervan Co vans are not currently available in North America. The company does mention plans of expanding its footprint there, however.

The ship carrying humanitarian aid for Venezuela was dispatched and financed by Puerto Rico’s government

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb 1, 2019–The “China New Energy Vehicle Power Electronics Industry Report, 2018-2022” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Although WBG semiconductors now cost more than silicon devices, they may eventually be competitive as manufacturing capabilities improve and market applications grow. Several challenges must be addressed to make WBG materials more cost-effective, including:
