In the public eye, there is hardly a conversation about utility-scale solar without addressing the fear of losing valuable farmland. Debates with community involvement tend to be polarized. Developers see open fields as ideal for solar, while...

U.S. distributed energy resources (DER) capacity is expected to increase by 217 GW by 2028, according to a Wood Mackenzie Report. A staggering number, even to the seasoned solar industry professional. One of the challenges is connecting the massive...

Messenger wire systems have become the preferred choice for wire management in large-scale ground-mount solar projects. They provide the advantages of lower installation costs, easier maintenance access, and less trenching compared to traditional...

Well-executed utility-scale solar projects follow a specific pattern, allowing for completion on time and without additional cost. Arguably one of the most critical factors in the development is managing the intersection of electrical, civil, and...

When designing utility-scale solar energy projects, optimizing central inverters is a crucial aspect that project developers, EPCs, and stakeholders often overlook. The strategic placement and design of central inverters plays a significant role in...

RE+ 2023 brought together leaders, innovators, and stakeholders from the renewable energy industry to discuss the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in the field. Amidst the numerous booths, presentations, and discussions, several...

At Pure Power Engineering, our engineers work closely with project originators, developers and EPC firms to reduce the upfront capital costs of construction without sacrificing long-term operating costs. Given the dynamic nature of solar...

As the installed capacity of solar PV systems in the US continues to scale and more geographic regions of the country achieve high penetration rates of renewables, grid congestion is becoming a high priority consideration for many large-scale...

Workmanship and equipment warranties are the only thing that survive the passing of guardianship as a solar asset is developed, constructed and operated. Throughout a project’s lifecycle, different stakeholders pass the hot potato of responsibility...

Unlike conventional PV modules that convert only front-side irradiance into electrical power, bifacial modules convert both front- and back-side irradiance into electricity. While the additional rear-side irradiance improves plant performance in...

As interest in stationary energy storage grows, it is tempting to assume that energy storage systems (ESS) in general—and battery energy storage systems (BESS) in particular—will follow a similar growth curve as solar photovoltaics (PV). In this...

With 21 engineers between our NJ, CO, and CA offices, we have unmatched bandwidth to design your solar & energy storage projects fast. What does that mean for your project? Quick turnaround time from quality engineers means you can complete your...
