The data will be used to optimise over 120 of Apex’s solar projects during design, development and operations, while also enabling projects to better integrate advanced technologies such as bifacial and storage. As high oil prices drive energy security further up the agenda, the US solar market is rapidly approaching a turning point. The sector is also having to navigate fresh uncertainty around hardware tariffs and significant global supply chain volatility. However, moves by developers and operators to better understand the abundant solar resource across the US offer a way forward for the sector, maximising the impact of new solar technologies to accelerate the shift away from fossil fuel dependence. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), bifacial modules – which generate electricity on both sides of the panel – could already comprise up to 50 percent…
