Residential-scale solar projects are typically rooftop installations to power a single house with a capacity of less than or equal to 4kW. Solar PV is a very popular upgrade for homes. These residential solar systems average 1.9kW in size. The residential solar sector, as with other segments of the solar industry, has seen strong growth in recent years.
Commercial and industrial solar typically encompasses businesses who are becoming increasingly aware of the potential savings that solar power operations can deliver and the benefits of meeting the consumer expectation of being cognizant of the environment. In addition to businesses of different sizes, from large corporations to local small businesses, “commercial” solar customers can also include governments, schools and universities, and even non-profits.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are critical to supporting the transition to net-zero – enabling greater penetration of variable renewable generation by maintaining grid stability and balancing supply with demand. This forum will cover the evolving storage technology and batteries landscape and the commercials driving its adoption.
A utility-scale solar facility is one which generates solar power and feeds it into the grid, supplying a utility with energy. The power generated by a utility-scale project is purchased to serve both residential and commercial customers in their service area, a corporation to power its needs in a particular region or one or more large universities in the same area that pool together to buy electricity.
