The use of concrete support structures for offshore wind turbines offers many potential advantages over towers comprised of only steel, including greater durability, a longer lifespan, increased local labor opportunities, and much quieter installations.
A new study from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory published in the journal iScience uses a new methodology to predict patterns for utility-scale wind and solar energy costs and concludes that they will progressively decline in the coming years.
DOE launched the SolarAPP+ Prize to encourage local governments to adopt SolarAPP+ and ease the permitting process for residential solar.
The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office seeks feedback on the cost and value of use, collection, and sharing of data on performance of solar photovoltaic systems and their components.
The giant mirrors used in concentrating solar-thermal power, known as heliostats, are often the most expensive parts of a CSP plant. The possibilities to innovate on heliostats and help reduce costs are endless.
GSA issued a request for information to learn more about the availability of domestically manufactured solar PV panels and components.
Solar energy can play an important role in increasing the resilience of the nation’s grid and the communities served by the grid.
DOE Announces $1.6 million for a jointly funded project supporting the coexistence of offshore wind with bats on the West Coast.
Floating offshore wind potential offers more than two times the energy equivalent of annual U.S. electricity consumption, even after accounting for relative technical suitability in support of responsible offshore wind energy deployment.
By developing a design toolset and reference designs for large-scale U.S. floating offshore wind farms, the Floating Offshore Wind Array Design project will inform design decisions and help ensure cost-efficient and responsible deployment.
