Ameresco and Inovateus Solar said they completed a 2.62 MW solar project at a former General Motors Powertrain Division Plant turned brownfield site in Illinois. Greenbacker Renewable Energy is the project owner.
The Danville solar system includes more than 6,600 solar modules and is connected to the Ameren utility grid. The project is expected to generate more than 3,600,000 kWh of electricity and offset over 1,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.
A team of researchers led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory said they made a technological breakthrough and constructed a perovskite solar cell with the dual benefits of being both highly efficient and highly stable.
The researchers said that a unique architectural structure enabled them to record a certified stabilized efficiency of 24% under 1-sun illumination. The cell also retained 87% of its original efficiency after 2,400 hours of operation at 55 degrees Celsius.
Sunnova Energy International filed paperwork with state regulators to develop a solar and storage-focused micro-utility in California. The proposal could pose a relatively small, but novel, challenge to the state’s incumbent investor-owned utilities.
