HeatSpring’s partnership with Renewable Energy World paves the way for policy makers of the present and future to teach and learn together.
Impacts of IEEE 1547 to Developers and Engineers Working on Distribution Interconnections
The latest revision of IEEE 1547TM-2018 – IEEE Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Distributed Energy Resources with Associated Electric Power Interfaces turns five years old this year. Many solar PV developers and engineers that are just entering the industry aren’t familiar with the standard’s background and the requirements that it imposes on Distributed Energy […]
Standards for Distributed Energy Resources Interconnecting to Utility Systems
Interconnection standards for Distributed Energy Resources (DER) connecting to utility transmission and distribution systems have evolved and will continue to change in the coming decades. DER includes inverter-based resources (IBR), such as solar PV, battery energy storage, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G), but also synchronous machine-based generation and other types of generation.
For people involved in DER interconnection […]
Tax Benefits and Investing in Solar Projects
With so many commercial and industrial solar projects slated to come online in the next ten years, investing in solar projects is becoming a more popular and lucrative business venture. In this blog post, we are joined by Nick Giannotti, Managing Member at Redball Ventures. Nick was a panelist for HeatSpring’s webinar How to Invest […]
GalleryNew Course Announcement: The Hydrogen Economy
If you see yourself as a solar person like me, you’ve likely heard about hydrogen being a key to unlocking a decarbonized future, but you may not know too much about the technology or how many opportunities for partnership lie ahead between renewable energy and hydrogen companies.
Hydrogen is still considered nascent within mainstream commercial decarbonization […]
Project Managers & Interconnection Specialists Needed to Build 437GW of New Utility-Scale Solar
Wood Mackenzie projects the U.S. utility-scale PV market will add 437 GW between 2022 and 2032. That’s 43,700 MW every year for ten years. It’s a staggering number and no solar company has the people they need to deliver at that scale.
I’m no genius, but I feel confident predicting that utility-scale solar project & […]
