During the White House Consumer Convening in D.C. earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) introduced a voluntary "Consumer Bill of Rights" framework for States to incorporate into their upcoming Home Energy Rebate programs. The framework outlines 12 key...
The intelligent and coordinated integration of renewable energy projects into power grids is critical for ensuring grid resiliency. Unfortunately, the process of interconnecting these projects is often hindered by disjointed, outdated processes that don’t scale to...
Typical year irradiance datasets (TGY, TDY) summarize solar resource at a location. This data is generated to reflect the most probable (P50) monthly total irradiance, based on a long history of solar resource. SolarAnywhere calculates typical year data from a maximum span of time-series observations for each region—more than twenty-five years in many areas. Our […]
