Solar co-ops, Solarize and More

Join Environment America for the next event in our Mayors for Solar Energy webinar series on Wednesday, June 19th: Between solarize campaigns, solar co-ops, and other solar group purchasing programs, there are plenty of options that can help businesses, homeowners and others purchase solar energy collectively. These programs are broadly beneficial, simplifying the process of going solar, helping more customers get started and lowering the cost for everyone involved. Join us on Wednesday, June 19th at 3pm ET to learn more about solar group purchasing and how it might work for your community. This webinar will feature experts from companies and organizations that run group purchasing programs, as well as communities that have seen the benefits of solarize campaigns and co-ops first-hand. Topics will include the benefits of solar and group purchasing for cities, how different programs operate, and tips and resources to help your city take the next step. WEBINAR: ��Solar co-ops, Solarize and More: How group purchasing programs can expand solar access in your community”

Reducing Solar Performance Uncertainty

pv magazine

The uncertainty of solar performance is a constant source for snide remarks by opponents of renewable energy. But it is also a fact that hounds developers of utility scale PV projects, and especially in the pre-construction period when financing is being secured it is necessary to reduce project uncertainty. What are the steps a developer can take to improve their odds? pv magazine editor Christian Roselund will discuss this with a Vaisala’s Gwendalyn Bender, an expert for solar assessment services, in our third free webinar powered by Vaisala.

Implementing Renewable Energy Zones for Integrated Transmission and Generation Planning

Greening the Grid

In many countries, integrating significant renewable energy to the grid requires new transmission to access the best wind and solar resources and accommodate generation from large projects. The renewable energy zone (REZ) approach provides a policy framework for planning new transmission to encourage utility-scale renewable energy development in areas that have the highest likelihood of being cost-effective. This webinar introduced the REZ approach, including the value of REZ to a power system, crucial components of the REZ process, technical approach to defining REZs using geospatial analysis, and case studies to highlight examples and key lessons for implementing REZ in other parts of the world.

Floating Wind Farms: The Next Big Game

US offshore wind

With over 30 different floating wind system designs and concepts - some old, some new - there needs to be special considerations to allow a pathway to commercialization. The technology is so new that no market has yet deployed it at scale. This gives US floating offshore wind developers a challenge, but also an opportunity to lead the world. Floating wind farm foundations are seen as key to the long-term growth of the US offshore wind sector. After all, the US has abundant experience in the development of floating structures for the oil and gas sector. However, experts say the biggest issue is how to cut the cost of floating structures as quickly as possible. With floating wind due to be a major theme at the 4th US Offshore Wind conference in Boston on June 10-11, 2019, this webinar provides insights into how cost-reduction might be achieved.
