Maximizing Land Equivalent Ratios and Optimizing PV System Performance in Agrivoltaics
As agrivoltaics transitions from a niche innovation to the mainstream market, integrating agriculture and solar energy production remains one of the most complex challenges in the renewable energy landscape today. Even its naming convention reflects this complexity. Although the consensus in the solar industry has settled on “agrivoltaics” as the standard name, policy and scientific …
4 Strategic Adaptations Every Solar Installer Should Consider for Growth
From policy whiplash to economic curveballs and supply chain hiccups, residential solar installers face a much different market compared to the years of explosive growth from 2020 to 2023. As we progress through 2025, the most successful residential solar professionals are reassessing their business models, optimizing budgets, and recalibrating both short-term and long-term growth strategies. …
Why Residential Solar Installers Should Leverage Third-Party Ownership as a Response to Increasing Homeowner Energy Stress
Two must-read reports dropped on April 23 that outline the residential solar sector’s trajectory through 2025. Wood Mackenzie released the US Residential Solar Finance Update H1 2025, highlighting the increasing viability and popularity of third-party ownership (TPO) models. Meanwhile, an expanding majority of American energy consumers feel anxious about rising energy bills, according to a …
Why Highlighting Ecovoltaic Benefits in Utility-Scale Solar is Crucial for Overcoming Local Opposition
Ambitious clean energy targets have intensified debates over state-level mandates and local control over land use, highlighted by a recent spate of legislative setbacks for utility-scale solar siting and permitting processes. As shifting regulatory frameworks continue to create hurdles for utility-scale solar developers, addressing community buy-in remains a top priority for project approval. Below, we …
Pathways for Solar Installers to Address Homeowner Concerns and Boost Lead Generation
The recently released 2025 Solar Snapshot Survey from Aurora Solar, a solar installer workflow management software provider, covers data from more than 12.5 million projects, with surveys of more than 1,000 solar professionals and 1,000 homeowners. Now in its third year, the survey reveals critical insights into homeowners’ motivations and concerns about going solar as …
Preparing for Super-Oversized Rooftop PV Systems: Why N-Type TOPCon Modules are Ideal for All-Electric Homes
The residential solar landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. No longer content with offsetting partial energy needs, homeowners now demand systems robust enough to power entire all-electric households. This transition, driven by the skyrocketing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), heat pumps, and smart home technologies, means that homeowners need uninterrupted access to reliable, clean energy …
Maximizing Demand Response Participation in Utility-Scale Solar+Storage Projects
The U.S. utility-scale solar industry continues to add record-breaking capacity while increasing the adoption of solar-plus-storage systems. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), 81% of the 63 GW of new generation capacity expected in 2025 will come from solar and battery storage, with Texas and California leading the charge. However, as solar penetration grows, …
Trinasolar: Setting the Standard for Solar Industry Sustainability
As the world races toward a net-zero future, the solar industry sits in the spotlight as companies are called upon to provide clean energy solutions and embody sustainability principles. Increasingly, solar bids must reflect the environmental impact of the materials used. Quantifying and minimizing the projects’ carbon footprints will require selecting suppliers who use low-carbon …
5 Key Points for EPCs and Developers Pitching Agrivoltaic Projects to Poultry Operations
Commercial and industrial (C&I) and community solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms and project developers are increasingly challenged to find innovative ways to enhance the value proposition of solar installations. Agrivoltaics, the practice of integrating solar energy and agriculture, has emerged as a promising option due to its wide range of benefits. Agrivoltaic systems …
