Sustainable Clean Power may be the best sustainable manufacturing strategy based on observation.
Utility-scale clean energy investments of over $500 billion have spurred plans for 160+ new, expanded or reopened U.S. manufacturing facilities. Explore ACP data to learn how our industry is #InvestinginAmerica: bit.ly/416pwXV
"The U.S. is the largest importer of goods in the world, with Mexico, China and Canada its top three suppliers,?according to the most recent Census data. Tariffs?could dramatically raise prices?on everything from groceries to automobiles, according to CBS News.?" https://lnkd.in/gMihQ_-D
Agrivoltaics are increasingly in our future, starting with present programs.
Unlock the Power of Agrivoltaics ???? Imagine a future where your farm not only grows crops but also harvests renewable energy. That's the promise of agrivoltaics—a game-changing solution that combines agriculture with solar power to maximize land use. But here’s the catch: Getting started isn’t cheap. The good news? Governments and organizations worldwide are stepping up to help farmers like you. Grants, tax credits, and innovative funding programs can cover a significant portion of the costs. For example: ?? USDA’s REAP program offers grants covering up to 25% of costs for renewable energy projects. ?? Investment Tax Credit (ITC) lets you deduct 30% of solar installation costs from your federal taxes. ?? State-level incentives, like California’s SGIP and New York’s NY-Sun Initiative, are also game-changers. And it doesn’t stop at government aid. Private investments, green bonds, and community crowdfunding are opening new doors for funding. But here’s the best part: Agrivoltaic projects don’t just reduce your costs—they boost your revenue. ?? Generate electricity to offset energy bills or sell back to the grid. ?? Increase crop yields by creating a microclimate under solar panels. ??? Save water and build resilience against extreme weather. Curious about how farmers are already making it work? One family farm in Oregon used USDA grants, tax credits, and green loans to fund their agrivoltaic project. The result? A steady income stream, reduced costs, and an ROI in just seven years. Agrivoltaics isn’t just an idea; it’s a movement. ?? Ready to lead the charge toward sustainable farming and energy? If this resonates, let’s talk. Or drop your thoughts below—how do you see agrivoltaics shaping the future of agriculture? P.S. Share this post ?? to inspire someone who needs to hear it.
Texas is setting new records in battery energy storage, with its grid capacity skyrocketing over 2400% since 2021. The fastest growing storage market in the U.S. has nearly 11 GWh of energy storage capacity. This growth not only enhances grid reliability but also highlights Texas's commitment to strengthening America’s energy security. https://bit.ly/3UO6Mez
This last week Colorado State University harvested corn at the Sandbox Solar Agrivoltaic Testing Grounds at CSU (https://lnkd.in/g3Rpajn3). Pilot projects like these demonstrate what is possible with #agrivoltaics. Follow us to learn more about the production numbers Thanks Colorado Department of Agriculture for providing the funding for this project! And our partners: Greentech Renewables for providing equipment, SolarEdge Technologies for providing the inverter, optimizers and monitoring through the new SolarEdge One platform, and Sunzaun - Vertical Solar for providing the vertical racking solution.
Nice installation video showing how agricultural operations and renewable energy solar PV can be combined. This one is in Italy, at 188kW it is a size that might complement a small family farm. Entirely scalable to larger operations.
?????????? ???? ?????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???? ?????????? ? To shorten the waiting time until the grid connection and the associated information about our VeCon Vertical Agri-PV system in Italy, our marketing agency Statement GmbH Agentur für Marketing & Designl?sungen has created a great short construction site video. ? The video shows impressively how we built the plant despite rain, storms and other weather-related adversities. ? The installation proceeded as detailed below: - Ramming the pile-driving profiles - Pre-assembly of the field pillars with bracket plates and erection of the field pillars - Parallel to the field pillars: pre-assembly of the module arrays on the assembly station, including the cabling between the modules - Mounting the module arrays on the field pillars - String cabling and suspension of the inverters -?Installation and cabling of the sensors, cameras and internet system - Underground cabling and installation of the grid connection box ? We hope that you enjoy the video as much as we do! ? Of course, we will also be publishing the video on our homepage soon. ? Here is a summary of the technical data of the system - Installed output: 188.37 kWp - Inverter: 3 x 60 kW - Row length: 141 meters - Row spacing: 12 meters - Clear height: 2.2 meters - Agricultural use: Arable farming with crop rotation ? ----------------------------------------------- ? ???????????????????????????????????? ?????? ?????? ???? ?????????????? ? Um die Wartezeit bis zum Netzanschluss und den damit verbundenen Informationen unserer VeCon Vertical Agri-PV Anlage in Italien zu verkürzen, hat unsere Marketingagentur Statement GmbH Agentur für Marketing & Designl?sungen einen tollen Baustellenkurzfilm erstellt. ? Das Video zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie wir die Anlage trotz Regen, Sturm und anderen witterungsbedingten Widrigkeiten errichtet haben. ? Der Aufbau lief wie folgt ab: - Rammen der Rammprofile - Vormontage der Feldsteher mit Konsolenblechen und Aufstellen der Feldsteher - Parallel zu den Feldstehern: Vormontage der Modulfelder auf der Montagestation inkl. der Verkabelung zwischen den Modulen - Montage der Modulfelder auf den Feldstehern - Stringverkabelung und Aufh?ngen der Wechselrichter - Montage und Verkabelung der Sensorik sowie der Kameras und des Internetsystems - Untergrundverkabelung und Aufstellen des Netzanschlusskasten ? Wir hoffen, dass ihr das Video genauso spannend findet wie wir! ? Natürlich werden wir das Video demn?chst auch auf unserer Homepage ver?ffentlichen. ? Hier noch einmal zusammengefasst die technischen Daten der Anlage - Installierte Leistung: 188,37 kWp - Wechselrichter: 3 x 60 kW - Reihenl?nge: 141 Meter - Reihenabstand: 12 Meter - Lichte H?he: 2,2 Meter - Landwirtschaftliche Nutzung: Ackerbau mit Fruchtfolge ? #agrivoltaics #AgriPV #VeConVerticalAgriPV #photovoltaics #Photovoltaik #renewableenergy
Good to see more R&D work in this area.
Virginia Tech has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to lead a research study for developing a regional carbon dioxide storage complex that would prevent an estimated 50 million metric tons of carbon from going into the atmosphere.

Press Release? October 9, 2024 Greetings to all as October arrives with changes in weather, season, and for many of us, other opportunities, myself included. My tenure with RRC Power & Energy has now come to a close, and with a new month comes the opportunity to refocus on consulting and projects that had been on hiatus. I plan to have some posts and articles here about what I've seen in business and industry recently. Generally, economic pressures and lingering supply chain issues continue to affect broadly. The upcoming US elections seem to have cast some uncertainties regarding infrastructure programs and renewable energy projects and their financial risks. By some observations, many firms in the sector are finding it necessary to reorganize and reposition while anticipating for what will hopefully be renewed business levels in 2025 and further on into the future. The actual need and demand for energy continues to rise, and while it is a classic indicator of economic growth potential, global instabilities and environmental concerns may be putting negative pressure on that growth. Feel free to contact me through my engineering consulting firm, CS Engineered Systems here through LinkedIn, or directly at [email protected]. Thomas Honles SE PE Washington?
