The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced that New York City’s single-largest solar energy project, an installation at John F. Kennedy International Airport, has been awarded to SunPower and Goldman Sachs Renewable Power Group. It is also considered the largest planned community solar project at an airport in the United States.
The cost of solar panels in the US has nowhere to go but down, now that SunPower has figured out a way around that pesky trade war.
New York state resident Anthony Sicari has a home solar power and energy storage system that he used to power his home “off- grid” for 33 days. That’s a bit more than one month of electricity self-generation, Tesla Powerwall battery storage, and consumption.

CleanTechnica reader Daniel McGuire loved his fully electric Chevy Bolt, but wanted to make it more sustainable. After a few experiments with solar panels, he took on the task of adding 2,200 watts of solar panels and cells to the Bolt itself for an electric vehicle that recharges from the sun without having to be plugged in.
When Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the company’s Solar Roof tile system back in 2016, he boldly proclaimed that it would cost less than buying a roof and electricity. Since then, we have not seen any data to support his claim, until now.
