The new variation of DC architecture emerging for FTM projects involves a separate DC-DC converter tied to batteries. These new DC-coupled FTM systems typically have lower interconnection costs than AC-coupled systems, as they rely on only one single point of interconnection. Interconnection costs can influence capex for a project developer significantly. (Depending on the size of the system, interconnection costs can make up anywhere from 20 to 35 percent of the balance-of-systems cost stack.)

Chris believes that the average person shouldn’t worry about this but if they want to be extra cautious, he recommends travelling with a portable power bank and charging your device from that.

This table compares Alpha and Omega Semiconductor and China Sunergy’s net margins, return on equity and return on assets.

Capital Dynamics, an independent global private asset management firm, announced that its Clean Energy Infrastructure (CEI) business has signed an agreement with respected energy developer Tenaska to develop a portfolio of greenfield solar projects in the Midwest. The deal closed on November 26, 2018.

DC-coupled systems easily qualify for the federal Investment Tax Credit, which is set to decline to 10 percent at the end of 2021 for FTM projects. However, while the ease of claiming the ITC may seem at first glance to be a main driver behind the rise of DC-coupled systems in the field today, DC coupling in the FTM market will continue to grow past 2021, according to the report.

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

The Current Ratio of JinkoSolar Holding Co. Ltd. is 0.9 while its Quick Ratio stands at 0.7. The Current Ratio of rival Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited is 1.7 and its Quick Ratio is has 1.1. Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited is better equipped to clear short and long-term obligations than JinkoSolar Holding Co. Ltd.

“Battery-based systems are exploding because they can do time-of-use shifting and get around these solar restrictions,” Brennan said.

TYLT doesn’t provide specs for the speaker, but I wasn’t expecting a lot. At roughly 3-inches square, just over 2-inches tall, and weighing 8 ounces—including enough battery for four hours of playback—there’s not much room in there for components.

I’m aware that I’m in the minority. Around 52 percent of Brits, and 46 percent of the world, have an interest in football. But it’s through this feeling that I understand why this is so massive.

Know in advance where your residence’s fusebox is located and how to turn the power and circuit breakers on and off. Mapping and labeling each circuit breaker to its relative appliance or room is also a good idea.

Bonaire, part of the Netherlands Antilles, will soon have a renewable portfolio of 11 MW of wind, 6 MW of new energy storage, a pre-existing 3 MW battery bank, and the small solar pilot. These assets will be used to limit the use of the 14 MW of diesel generator and the 3 MW backup diesel generator, says Lisa Magnuson, the Senior Vice President for Global Marketing at Greensmith Energy, in San Francisco.
