California batteries are dominating the evening grid with 10 GW/40 GWh of capacity, leading to record-breaking output from solar and energy storage taking over the peak electricity demand period. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is working on the definition of new standards for vehicle-integrated photovoltaics. Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL) has demonstrated its latest lithium iron phosphate battery at an auto show in Beijing, which has an energy density of 205 Wh per kg, almost 8% higher than the current state-art for such batteries. Birch Creek plans to use 547 MW of U.S.-made First Solar modules in projects across its development pipeline in the United States.
Solar Dominates US Energy Capacity Growth
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has published data showing that solar accounted for over 75% of US electrical generating
