Mon Power Brings Solar Grazing to West Virginia Site
Hundreds of sheep kept vegetation trimmed at 80-acre solar facility in Monongalia County. This method of natural lawnmowing is currently being used at 506 solar sites in 30 states, according to the American Solar Grazing Association.
Energy Storage Technology: A Vital Component of a Modern Power Grid
With enough energy storage on the grid, we will no longer have to size infrastructure to the highest peak. We can reduce system inefficiencies, improve utilization of assets, and lower the cost to the ratepayers.
Battery Powered Generator vs Solar Powered Generator: What is the Difference?
Learn the key differences between battery and solar powered generators, their pros and cons, and which option best fits your home or off-grid backup power needs.
Renewable Grid Integration
Ensuring grid stability with high levels of IBRs is a growing technical challenge. Traditional grids derived strength and inertia from big spinning generators, but when those are replaced by solar inverters and wind turbines, the system behaves differently.
