"These results provide conclusive evidence that operationalized stow protocols are effective at preventing #solar module glass breakage during a severe #hail event. On the one hand, we found that PV modules in a hail-stow position sustained no direct hail-related damage from a one-in-500-year #hailstorm. On the other hand, we found a relatively modest amount of hail damage at a portion of the plant that we know did not achieve complete hail stow. This clearly indicates that overall site damages could have been much worse if not for successful solar project hail stow protocols." https://lnkd.in/gnvXEm4n

Annually since 2019, the insurance industry has seen reports of individual hail claims on solar farms totaling between $5 million to $80 million. In 2022, the renewable energy insurance industry experienced record-breaking losses related to hail damage, upward of $300-400 million USD. In this article, Heidi A. and Dan Schreiber, CCM, discuss how and why these losses have occurred, why they are likely to continue, and how the industry is responding.

?? D3Energy's Floating Solar Systems Withstand Hurricane Milton ?? Great article by REW on the performance of our #FloatingSolar systems during #HurricaneMilton! We are proud to report that all 10+ of our floating arrays impacted by the storm stayed operational, with no reported damage. This highlights the resilience of #FPV and the critical role it can play in distributed generation. After hurricanes, power is more vital than ever, and floating PV proves its reliability as an energy source, even in extreme conditions.

The resilience of solar + storage systems during Hurricanes Milton and Helene is truly inspiring. Sunnova and D3Energy's systems highlight how renewable energy can strengthen energy security in the face of extreme weather. I'd love to see a combination of floating solar with hydro-plants, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the synergy is clear: during rainy seasons, solar output may drop, but hydro thrives( no lack of water), and in dry seasons, solar can augment hydro generation when water levels are low. This approach could enhance energy resilience year-round. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Hydropower #Sustainability #EnergyResilience

Imagine this... Food in a distopian world is distributed via a plastic tube system all connected to one location. A big hairy monster walks into town and swipes the plastic tubes, the food supply is broken, people start dying, and chaos ensues. This is why a distributed power grid is better. It's the future. It's needed now... We are here to help. GAIN Renewables GAIN CRE Services Inc. GAINTECH #renewables #solar #ess #energy #grid

This article nails it. It’s what everyone is talking about post-Beryl, and it’s asking the questions everyone wants answers to. A big thank you to Jeff St. John at Canary Media Inc. for exploring how distributed energy resources (#DERs) can ensure #resiliency and for talking to the right people, including our very own Allan Schurr, PE. Our natural gas #generator technology is proven and ready to deliver for our communities. Let’s get the policies, logistics, and partnerships in place to make it happen. ?? https://bit.ly/3W8KO5F #microgrids #powergeneration #gridsupport #HurricaneBeryl
