Pennsylvania electricity prices are above the national average. With these high costs, the opportunity for savings from solar projects is also high. Additionally, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court gave business owners the right to benefit from net energy metering (NEM) regardless of the amount of their onsite power usage. This enables a broader universe of potential solar projects in Pennsylvania to be feasible for commercial properties. In our latest Energy Insights, Dan Smith, VP of Markets, explains how NEM in Pennsylvania (as well as other incentives, such as grants, tax credits, Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SRECs) and rebates) can be a very advantageous path for organizations to leverage solar lease opportunities and generate a new source of revenue while contributing to their sustainability goals.

Net metering provides a powerful solution to several fundamental questions about commercial solar. Here is how it works: When solar power equipment is installed, you’re connected to the power grid. When the solar panels produce more energy than is needed onsite, the excess electricity is sent back to the grid — and you receive a credit for it from the utility. Then, when the solar panels are producing less than what’s needed, you draw power from the grid and get charged against the credits already accumulated. Read more⤵️

With recent developments through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s new transmission and cost allocation rule, the time is ripe for our industry to come together and share insights to improve #grid #interconnection timelines. DSD’s Program Manager, Robert Wright, will be speaking at the GridTECH Connect Forum in Newport Beach tomorrow on “How flexible interconnection can help fix California’s distribution grid” and discussing new #technologies and strategies to improve interconnection timelines, reduce costs, and enable more solar in the state. We are excited to be part of this important topic for our industry and continue to challenge renewable energy to advance and improve. #gridtechconnect #DER #interconnection

What’s agrivoltaics? It’s when adorable sheep get to work for a clean energy future, like our subsidiary New Energy Equity’s Energy Support Services collaboration with DSD Renewables (DSD). A rocky terrain at a DSD solar energy site in Winchester, Virginia, is now being maintained by Katahdin Acres livestock! Sheep and pigs manage vegetation under the arrays, so no mowers are needed on this tricky surface. A win/win for maintenance AND land use efficiency. https://ow.ly/W40S50SlfOv

“We’re seeing agrivoltaics being leveraged more and more as a viable solution to optimizing land use and increasingly allowing renewable projects to pencil. Having sheep and pigs help us maintain the grounds while giving them a safe place to freely roam is truly a win-win, and further demonstrates our collective commitment to deploying innovative solutions that reduce our projects’ carbon footprint in the communities we serve." 💬 David Eisenbud Senior Director – Origination at DSD
Energy Support Services (ESS), in collaboration with DSD Renewables, has introduced an innovative agrivoltaics solution at a solar energy site in Winchester, Virginia. Facing challenges with rocky terrain unsuitable for traditional mowing, ESS partnered with @Katahdin Acres, utilizing sheep and pigs to graze and manage vegetation under the solar arrays. This creative approach not only addresses maintenance issues but also enhances land use efficiency, making solar installations feasible in otherwise difficult environments. Conrad Gross, General Manager of Energy Support Services, highlights the impact: "Agrivoltaics is a cost-efficient and innovative strategy, enabling solar installations in previously challenging locations. By leveraging local partnerships and community support, we've ensured the success of this solar array while fostering environmental stewardship."
