QUESTION OF THE WEEK: As a start-up ourselves, we are immensely passionate about new technology, budding new businesses, and innovative strides in the realm of clean energy and sustainability. This week we're eager to hear your perspectives on the potential future landscape of the clean energy sector and the role they will have in the evolution of solar energy? #CleanEnergyCapital #QuesitonOfTheWeek #Sustainability #Thoughts

🌞 Did you know that solar panel efficiency is weather-dependent? From sunny days providing full capacity to cloudy days still offering significant output, understanding these variations can help optimize energy use. Stay informed and make the most of your solar investment. #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #CleanTech #Sustainability #GreenBusiness

Life sciences meets clean energy and sustainable real estate: A new solar and battery storage system is in operation at a new office and laboratory complex in Watertown, Massachusetts. Renewable and on-site energy developer Catalyze announced the project’s first phase completed at 66 Galen, a purpose-built 224,000 square-foot building jointly owned by Davis and Boston Development Group. The on-site energy also includes electric vehicle charging stations with 15 ports. The 66 Galen Street site aims for both decarbonizing and energy efficiency goals to meet Watertown’s climate and energy plan calling for 50% solar roof coverage on new and substantially renovated buildings more than 10,000 square feet in footprint. The joint venture of real estate-focused Davis and Boston Development Group will draw part of its power from 252kW in direct current solar capacity and a 125-kW energy storage system. 66 Galen is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold-certified with heat resistant exterior materials featuring 100% recyclable terra cotta tiles, LED lighting, a variable-volume air handling system and water conservation infrastructure. Boston Development Group and Davis announced the plan to develop the five-acre site in 2021. With phase one completed, the developers still want to eventually build out more than 450,000 square feet of research and lab space, according to earlier news reports. The 66 Galen Street site is about a 10-minute drive from downtown Boston and is close to Cambridge, home of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Watertown is known for hosting more than a dozen life science companies including industry leaders such as Novo Nordisk. Catalyze owns and operates numerous renewable energy assets to provide power for commercial and industrial customers such as Costco, Cathay Bank, Fox Studios, Blackstone and Forever21.

The future of energy is closely linked to the future of sustainability. Our 4,841 m2 of solar panels reduce our plant’s energy consumption by an average of 38.89% Learn more about our commitment→ https://lnkd.in/dhvU6Tn7 #AgaveSolutionsForLife

The third segment of our "Building for the Future" blog series focuses on solar plus storage projects. We explain how these systems optimize energy efficiency and grid reliability, flexibility, and resilience, and why they play a crucial role in the advancement of a robust clean energy economy. #solar #solarplusstorage #cleanenergy #cleanenergytransition #cleanenergyinnovation #sustainability #betterenergyfuture

What can you do when the construction of a new substation is not an option, but there are large load peaks in the company's own consumption profile?🤔 The members of the family business Oomen asked themselves this question and they found the answer in using an energy storage system from TESVOLT and a photovoltaic system. "We decided on the TESVOLT energy storage system for two reasons: first, sustainability is one of our corporate goals, and second, our power connection would have been too small for our energy consumption", says Emile Oomen, founder and owner of Oomen Warehousing and Movers. The whole project including all the details and many more cases can be found on our website: https://lnkd.in/eyTrcSUX.

Transitioning to solar energy is both sustainable and cost-effective. However, before considering a solar installation for your roof, it’s crucial to ensure that your roof can adequately support this long-term investment.

Orange County is quickly becoming a global leader in Advanced Transportation and Renewable Energy, as the industry already employs over 60,000 people. In 2023, Orange County will host a Sustainability Decathlon, a competition that will gather California’s best and brightest to showcase ways to transition to 100 percent renewable energy. California wants to create 1 million jobs by accelerating the deployment of clean energy technologies, such as utility-scale wind and solar, residential solar, zero-emission vehicles, batteries, and electric appliances, and has mandated that all new cars in the state must be zero emissions by 2035, and Orange County is the perfect access point to this exponentially growing market. #commercialrealestate #cre #orangecounty #cleanenergy #renewablenergy #sustainability #california #technology #realestate
