SolarCity is introducing a Smart Energy Home offering to new residential customers in Hawaii. It includes advanced technology: solar photovoltaic (PV), battery storage, smart electric water heaters, and the Nest Learning Thermostat, all coordinated by a home gateway.

The global electric power industry is evolving into a model that is more diverse, both in terms of generation and in the ownership of generation assets, and solar photovoltaic (PV) is one technology at the head of this change, notes Navigant Research.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced $2.85 million in funding for four projects that will advance the development of renewable energy technologies at facilities across the federal government.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the seven winners of the second round of its Catalyst Energy Innovation Prize Demo Day, which were chosen out of 19 finalist startups.

The energy dedicated from this solar facility, coupled with the power the city receives from NV Energy that already satisfies the state’s renewable portfolio standard, would allow the city of Las Vegas’ retail load to be served 100 percent by renewable energy.

The city of Las Vegas and NV Energy have announced a new partnership that, upon approval of a filing to the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada and ratification by the Las Vegas City Council, will dedicate to city operations a portion of energy produced by a local solar facility currently in development.
