German home energy storage and virtual power plant (VPP) company sonnen has deployed 86 of its ecoLinx batteries in a new-build complex in Florida, US.
Matrix Renewables, the platform backed by private equity firm TPG, has secured tax equity financing of US$92 million for two solar-plus-storage projects in California with 80MWh of energy storage.
Around 60% of new solar projects planned in US utility service areas are hybrid resources paired with storage. Recurrent Energy’s Lucas Moller explains the appeal.
A front-of-meter microgrid combining 2.2MW of solar PV with a 9MWh battery has gone online in Humboldt County, northeast California, which its developers claim is the first of its kind.
