In July 2025, Congress passed budget reconciliation legislation that significantly altered clean energy tax credits for solar and wind projects. This article explores the impact of the bill for commercial & industrial solar and storage projects.
[pdf] Across 13 sources, the range in average lifetime OpEx for projects built in 2019 is broad, from $13 to $25/kW DC -yr. Operations and maintenance (O&M) costs—one component of OpEx—have declined precipitously in recent years, to $5-8/kW DC -yr in many cases.
[pdf] Key projects include the 300MW/1.8GWh storage project in Lijiang, Yunnan; the 200MW/1000MWh vanadium flow battery storage station in Jimusar, Xinjiang by China Three Gorges Corporation; and the 250MW/1GWh vanadium flow battery energy storage project in Chabuchaer County, Xinjiang by China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group.
[pdf] Below is a simplified method to calculate expected energy output: Daily energy output (kWh) = Total installed capacity (kWp) × Peak sunshine hours (hours) × System efficiency (%) Peak sunshine hours: This depends on the geographical location.
[pdf] Harrisburg, Montserrado County – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., officially broke grounds for Liberia’s first-ever utility-scale solar plant in Liberia on October 11, 2024. This development marks a major milestone in the country’s strategic pursuit of clean and renewable energy solutions.
[pdf] Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh. Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs.
