Will a redeployable solar and energy storage solution be the answer to unreliable grid electricity across much of Africa, as its developer proposes? Or will it merely be a temporary solution that ...

The state of Maine will get more than $65 million in federal funding for so-called “smart grid” technology to more quickly link solar panels and wind turbines to utilities’ electricity systems.

Solar panels don’t produce electricity consistently throughout the day, and being connected to the electric grid gives these systems a way to compensate for that inconsistency.

Interconnection agreements grew 33% year-over-year in 2024 and are sustaining momentum through 2025, said Wood Mackenzie.

Hybrid solar systems can connect to the grid voltage just like a traditional solar array or operate independently during power outages.

Kicking your utility to the curb sounds like a great deal, but it's more difficult than it sounds. Here's what it takes to go off the grid with solar panels.

Grid backlogs Dwindling spare grid capacity and long approval times for new connections are delaying solar and wind projects and inflating costs.

Independent power producer (IPP) Alight has signed an agreement to connect a 100MW solar PV park in Finland.

In spite of that, a company named Beam Global is selling solar charging stations for parking lots with batteries and claims they are more cost effective in many cases to grid connection.

Xcel Energy may have to refund grid connection fees for Colorado homeowners whose solar projects were delayed.
