One of the largest rooftop solar installations in the UK is to add a Tesla battery in what is thought to be the first UK project to use a commercial array to charge an energy storage system to avoid grid charges and provide ancillary services.
Aberla’s new leadership is targeting significant growth in both solar and storage markets, considering the former to be at grid-parity and the latter to be “on the cusp of a boom”.
There is no economic benefit from installing energy storage with solar PV in UK homes a new study has suggested, adding that the cost of battery degradation would cost homeowners £400 in the first year.
The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) has stated it had “a strong start to the year” despite its UK portfolio of solar assets delivering lower than expected output, with one development down for two months earlier in the year.
With the Solar Power Portal Awards 2017 now just a matter of weeks away, we take a look at those projects nominated for the Residential, Commercial and Industrial-scale Storage Project of the Year category.
The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) has become the latest investor to enter the large scale storage market after buying a 20MW project from RES for £20 million.
