New Inverters Enable Cleaner Energy Harvest
Chuck Ross
Solar power seems to get the most attention at its smallest and largest
scales – we hear a great deal about residential rooftop systems and the
largest utility-scale arrays, but not nearly as much about what falls in
the middle. That may be changing quickly, as “community” solar projects
now are taking hold in many U.S. states. Often in the 1 megawatt (MW)
to 2 MW size range, these arrays of photovoltaic (PV) panels provide an
opportunity for renters and others lacking their own rooftops to invest
in solar-powered electricity generation at sites that make sense for a
local utility’s distribution grid.
