Singapore’s pursuit of “solar anywhere” provides a compelling blueprint for other densely populated, land-constrained urban environments. Challenges remain, including managing solar intermittency and integrating energy storage solutions, but the nation is actively addressing these through pilot projects in battery storage and advanced grid technologies. Since 2022, Singapore’s National Climate Change … [continued]
Singapore keeps the sun shining on solar projects, despite the lack of land, by creatively managing where to “solarize.” In 2014, Singapore’s Housing and Development Board (HDB) and the Economic Development Board (EDB) launched their national blueprint for integrating solar energy on a massive scale. But not on much needed … [continued]
Floating by are tangled roots and water lilies. Undulating floodwaters reflect the sky. Treetops drop giant peapods into the water. A few thatched huts, without walls and on stilts, are set just above the muddy water’s edge. It is a day trip for twenty Indigenous people in a traditional river … [continued]
As Congressional Republicans push legislation to gut key clean energy incentives, Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) has reintroduced a bill aimed squarely at expanding access to community solar for families and businesses who’ve been historically shut out of the clean energy transition. The bill, Community Solar Consumer Choice Act of … [continued]
Detroit’s Solar Neighborhoods initiative deploys agrivoltaics to replace blighted properties with solar energy, urban farms, and biodiverdity restoration.
Baltimore, MD — Earlier this year, the Climate Access Fund, Solar Stewards, CohnReznick, and additional partners “flipped the switch” to activate Solar4Us @ Henderson-Hopkins, a $3.8 million, 808 kW rooftop community solar project. The project, owned and developed by the Climate Access Fund, is located at Elmer A. Henderson: A … [continued]
In the national conversation about clean energy, large-scale utility solar farms and rooftop solar often dominate the spotlight. Yet, somewhere between those two extremes lies one of the most promising, inclusive, and rapidly evolving models for renewable energy deployment: community solar. What is Community Solar? Community solar offers a flexible … [continued]
A new nationwide analysis has dropped a powerful headline: community solar could unlock more than $120 billion in economic activity across the US. If you’ve been paying attention to the solar sector, you know community solar has long promised outsized benefits, but this new data puts real numbers behind that … [continued]
A new study has found that expanding community solar and storage across California could save electricity customers a staggering $6.5 billion over the next 20 years. Commissioned by the Coalition for Community Solar Access, the report by Aurora Energy Research shows that investing in 5.4 gigawatts (GW) of local solar … [continued]
Rooftop solar power is not affordable for all homeowners, and some people rent in structures where rooftop solar is not available. Community solar installations allow access for people who might not otherwise have it. It’s one of the best human uses of clean, renewable electricity. Here at Cleantechnica, we have … [continued]
