The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has released a whitepaper recommending the US deploy 10 million distributed solar installations and reach 700GWh of installed storage capacity by 2030.

The US’ two leading states in solar and energy storage, New York and California, have taken steps towards valuing the locational and time-of-use value of distributed energy resources and other states should follow, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has said.

Zinc redox flow batteries could be a “viable substitute” for simple cycle peaking power plants in the US, especially as the increase of solar penetration adds concerns over grid stability, according to a new whitepaper.
