Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Carpinteria Goes Solar to Reduce Hotel’s Carbon Footprint

CARPINTERIA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Holiday Inn Express & Suites, located in Carpinteria, California, owned and operated by the HMBL, LLC, is pleased to announce the activation of their solar power generating system. The hotel has installed over 500 solar voltaic panels on new carports built in the parking lot.

This new solar power system is rated to replace approximately 75% of the hotel's electricity use over the course of a year. The replacement of electricity from fossil fuel generating facilities will reduce the hotel's carbon footprint substantially over the life of the system.

The Holiday Inn Express-Carpinteria embarked on the process to install a solar electric system on the premises in 2018. Construction began in late 2019 and was completed in early 2020. As an added benefit to guests, much of the parking is now covered by carports, upon which the solar panels have been installed.

Electricity generated by the burning of fossil fuels generates carbon dioxide, among other waste products. Carbon dioxide is a known greenhouse gas. By replacing most of the electric power required by the hotel, Holiday Inn Express-Carpinteria reduces the amount of greenhouse gas released into the environment due to power generation. As most people know, carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and other green plants. The carbon dioxide offset created by the new Holiday Inn solar power system is the equivalent to planting over 5,000 trees!

The Holiday Inn Express in Carpinteria has several other initiatives in place to help travelers "stay greener."

Hotel General Manager Michael Ensign said, "All our staff members are committed to our environmental stewardship and involved in the green movement of sustainability. We have and are taking steps to try to reduce our impact on the environment, preserve resources for the future, and prevent pollution."

For more information on the hotel's environmental efforts, please visit the website at https://www.CarpinteriaExpress.com/hotel-overview/greener-world.

Beyond the environmental improvements we are all working together to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable travel experience, the Holiday Inn Express-Carpinteria has modified operations to address the concerns brought on by the current coronavirus pandemic.

The hotel's Housekeeping Manager, Christina Zepeda says, "Our staff takes the safety and comfort of our guests very seriously. We are committed to doing what we can, in working with our guests, to help keep them, their families, and ourselves as safe as possible during this pandemic. We are working hard to try to help limit the spread of this terrible virus through extra cleaning and sanitizing every day."

The hotel has instituted social distancing; face coverings are required of all staff and guests while in public spaces in the hotel building; and sanitization stations are positioned throughout the property. Upon check-out, all rooms are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. After housekeeping finishes cleaning a guest room, the room is then disinfected using state of the art electrostatic disinfectant sprayers which aim to ensure all surfaces are thoroughly addressed. The guestroom is then sealed and not entered again until entered by the next guest upon check-in. Public spaces are also cleaned multiple times a day, including treated with the electrostatic disinfectant sprayer two to three times a day.

Ensign concluded by saying, "I'd like the traveling public to know that our hotel is OPEN and we're doing what we can to keep them safe during their visit. I invite them to call us today and make a reservation for a summer get-away. Everyone needs a break from the stress and pressures we've experienced over the past few months, and we at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Carpinteria are happy to welcome them back."

Seattle Company, Oscilla Power, Developing Breakthrough Approach to Recharging Underwater Vehicles

SEATTLE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- Oscilla Power, Inc. is proud to announce the receipt of a $200k grant from the US DOE to further develop technology that enables autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to recharge themselves using ocean waves. In this Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) project, Oscilla Power will collaborate with Lockheed Martin, through their Rotary and Mission Systems group, to explore how this capability can be incorporated into their AUV and UUV systems.

AUVs are now seeing significant use across a wide range of marine applications and the AUV market is projected to grow rapidly at a compound annual growth rate of 20.8% to over $1.6 Billion by 2025. However, the capability of an AUV is limited by its battery capacity. An NREL report noted that there were a number of key advantages in increasing the amount of power available, particularly the ability for longer duration missions. Oscilla's technology offers the ability for the vehicle to recharge its batteries using only the environment, potentially enabling unlimited range and duration.

According to Balky Nair, President of Oscilla Power, "The development of a capability that can be integrated into commercial AUVs to provide enough power to recharge the on-board batteries could be potentially game-changing for ocean science and military operations."

Solar panels have been used previously for AUV recharging, however, this approach suffered from very low power and constrained operations to daytime only. A significant advantage of using waves for this purpose is that ocean waves are more than 100 times more energy dense than solar, allowing for much higher power to be produced. AUV's spend the majority of their time working at depth so higher power is advantageous to minimize surfacing and recharging time.

Oscilla expect to demonstrate a fully working laboratory prototype early next year. If successful, Oscilla plans to work with Lockheed Martin to progress to a full ocean demonstration shortly afterwards, with the ultimate objective of transitioning the technology to commercial and military platforms.

Harvest Power Featured on 2020 Top Solar Contractors List

ISLIP TERRACE, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Although the COVID-19 pandemic is the immediate crisis unfolding at the moment, mitigating climate change is also an urgent issue. Solar PV installation is one way to help reduce greenhouse gases from fossil fuels. Solar Power World has recognized the efforts of solar contractors across the United States in its 2020 Top Solar Contractors list, where local solar installer Harvest Power achieved a rank of 156 out of 407 companies.

The Top Solar Contractors list is developed each year by Solar Power World to honor the work of solar installers big and small. Solar firms in the utility, commercial and residential markets are ranked by number of kilowatts installed in the previous year. Companies are grouped and listed by specific service (developers, electrical subcontractors, EPCs, installation subcontractors, rooftop installers), markets and states.

"The Solar Power World team is so pleased to highlight more than 400 companies on the 2020 Top Solar Contractors list, especially during this unprecedented time," said Kelsey Misbrener, senior editor of Solar Power World. "All contractors featured on the 2020 list reported strong 2019 installation numbers and are continuing to stand tall this year."

This year's collection of over 400 Top Solar Contractors is facing obstacles that this industry has never seen before. The first quarter of 2020 was the country's biggest ever, with 3.6 GW of new solar capacity added. But COVID-19 impacts showed their force in Q2, and Wood Mackenzie is forecasting residential and non-residential markets will see 25% and 38% decreases in year-over-year installation volumes this year.

In addition to persevering through this turbulent time in history, the 2020 class of Top Solar Contractors is continuing to innovate by adding energy storage to their offerings. Over one-third of this year's contractors are also featured on the exclusive 2020 Top Solar + Storage Installers list.

"Once again, we are proud to be listed in the Solar Power World ranking of the top solar companies in the US. This ranking is a direct result of the hard work of our team and our great customers, which we appreciate working with," said Carlo Lanza CEO Harvest Power.

About Harvest Power:

Northern White Sand Consortium: Rystad Energy Study Links Sand Proppant Type to Decreased Oil and Gas Production and Profitability

HOUSTON, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- The Northern White Sand Consortium (NWSC), a subgroup of industry participants, formed under the Wisconsin Industrial Sand Association, announced today that a report by Rystad Energy examining 800 Shale Oil wells completed using in-basin sand, across 7 operators in the Permian basin, indicates close to 50% have seen a negative economic impact compared to wells completed using Northern White Sand (NWS).

Up to 85% are nearing negative impact in less than 1 year of production. Upfront savings doesn't appear to offset the impact in just the first year of the well's life.

The impact is not limited to investors, continued short-term economic thinking will affect long-term energy independence, American jobs, and billions of dollars for investors & mineral rights holders.

Accelerating decline rates in shale wells have drawn attention. Many theories have been posed such as well spacing, reservoir pressure drawdowns etc., but one clear potential cause has been virtually ignored since the hydraulic fracturing revolution began, Proppant Type.

Over the past several years, industry observers have recognized well production decline rates are accelerating at a higher rate than ever. The quickening decline rates have occurred simultaneously with the migration away from higher quality proppants. (A Proppant is a granular solid material, typically sand, intended to keep well fractures open.)

The incentive for the switch is understandable since proppant sand cost usually makes up 10% of the completion costs of a horizontal well. High quality Northern White Sand (NWS) is often railed or barged to the play. By avoiding these shipping costs, operators can save $300-$500k per well initially, (around 3-5% inclusive of drilling costs).

According to findings in the Rystad Energy study, what looked like a good business decision may have ended up causing significant negative impact on outcomes, should well productivity rates continue to rapidly decline. NWSC believes this indicates that the fundamental impact that proppants have on hydrocarbon flow and production are the single most significant factor.

SunBug Solar Celebrates the Milestone of Serving 2000 Customers

WESTFIELD, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- SunBug Solar, a Massachusetts solar energy provider with offices in Westfield and Arlington Mass., is pleased to announce the installation of its 2,000th customer. John Hoogstraten and Eileen Keegan, a couple residing in Williamsburg, Mass., are SunBug's 2,000th clients, having gone solar not once, but twice.

Hoogstraten, a semi-retired contractor, was skeptical at first when first introduced to photovoltaic (PV) solar through the Solarize Mass program in 2014. The program, run by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, helps municipalities design, promote, and execute limited- time group programs that educate residents on the benefits of green energy while offering them discounts on installations. Keegan encouraged her husband to overcome that initial skepticism and look into the matter further.

"I figured there was no harm in learning more, so I went to one of their information sessions," said Hoogstraten. "I signed up for a site assessment and we ran the numbers."

When John and Eileen realized that the system would pay for itself in about seven years, they began the process to have his first solar energy system installed. They chose to invest in a plan that would deliver just enough energy to meet their home's consumption.

The system proved profitable for the energy needs of their home, but only when supplemented with the firewood John chops himself. Because John and Eileen plan to age-in-place, and are looking toward a time when chopping wood is no longer feasible nor desirable. Their plan to add air source heat pumps (ASHPs) for heating meant their electric load would increase, and wanted to add additional PV so as to avoid as much fossil fuel use as possible.

Again, through MassCEC they learned about the Solar Access Program, an effort to help homeowners install ASHPs in conjunction with solar. While they did not initially qualify, Dan Britton, a member of the residential solar design team at SunBug's Westfield location encouraged them to not give up. They might qualify in the next calendar year.

"They mentioned they were entering semi-retirement and expected their 2019 income might qualify, so I suggested they can re-apply after they file their 2019 taxes," said Britton.

By March of this year, John and Eileen confirmed their eligibility and the conversation with SunBug continued.

In the end, they opted for an additional 2.5 kW of roof mounted solar and a Tesla Powerwall battery for backup for when the grid goes down. SunBug system designer Dan Britton said it was a clear choice. "We decided to add a battery backup because all of the stars were in alignment: they have a dry, clean basement with space for a battery adjacent to their electric panel, they can include the battery system in the Mass Solar Loan to get additional income-based loan support, they can take advantage of the adder for batteries in the state's SMART solar incentive, and they can opt in to the utility's Connected Solutions program to get additional revenue to offset the battery cost."

SunBug is thrilled to be able to count such committed renewable energy enthusiasts at their 2000th customer, and as a show of appreciation is happily discounting the couple $2000 off their new solar electric system. "That discount will be an enormous help to us as we implement these enhancements to our home and quality of life," said Hoogstraten. "We are thrilled to be doing business with SunBug, tickled to find ourselves in the position of being your 2000th customer, and deeply grateful for this gesture."

"Congratulations to SunBug Solar on their 2000th installation," said MassCEC CEO Steve Pike. "MassCEC is pleased to partner with John Hoogstraten and Eileen Keegan, and 5,500 other Massachusetts residents who have accessed clean, renewable solar power through the Mass Solar Loan program."

Nuclear to Play Vital Role in Innovating Virginia’s Carbon-Free Future

ARLINGTON, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Innovations in nuclear energy will play a vital role in reaching Virginia's goal to be carbon-free by 2050 after Governor Ralph Northam signed legislation directing the state to work with industry to develop a strategic plan for the Commonwealth's nuclear industry. The bill, passed by the legislature in March, directs the government of the Commonwealth, through the Virginia Nuclear Energy Consortium Authority (VNECA), to work with industry stakeholders to develop a comprehensive plan for ensuring this carbon-free energy source continues its contribution to economic development and reducing greenhouse gases.

"The nuclear industry is a vital part of the Commonwealth's economy and the Lynchburg region," said State Senator Steve Newman, patron of SB 549. "The strategic plan will drive innovation to support and grow this vital resource for jobs and energy production in Virginia. I look forward to seeing the plan take shape and be put into action in the weeks and months ahead."

Delegate Chris Hurst, patron of HB 1303, added, "It is vital to the future of our Commonwealth that we continue to explore all opportunities for carbon-free energy, including nuclear. House Bill 1303 will allow Virginia to lead on environmental responsibility while remaining a national leader in nuclear energy, by encouraging research taking place at our outstanding universities and new economic development through advanced technology and manufacturing."

The legislation directs the Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy, the Secretaries of Commerce & Trade and Education, the VNECA, and the Virginia Economic Development Partnership Authority to work together to develop a strategic plan for nuclear energy. The plan will spur innovation in an industry already making significant contributions to emission-free energy by providing economic development opportunity, new avenues for education and jobs, and additions to Virginia's manufacturing base.

"We are excited that the legislature and Governor recognize the contribution made by the nuclear industry," said Tom DePonty, VNECA Chairman. "Last year Governor, Northam outlined an ambitious agenda for moving Virginia to 100 percent carbon-free energy by 2050. The strategic plan will help attract innovative new businesses that will help Virginia achieve its goals while helping grow our economy."

With a focus on promoting advanced nuclear technology opportunities for innovation, the plan will drive advanced manufacturing, establishment of a collaborative research center, and creation of a university nuclear leadership program to promote fields that meet the workforce demands of Virginia's nuclear industry.

"Across the country, developments in new reactor designs and fuel technology are leading a resurgence in advanced manufacturing and clean power generation," said April Wade, Executive Director of the Virginia Nuclear Energy Consortium, a group representing nuclear industry stakeholders and universities across the Commonwealth. "Congress has appropriated $1.5 billion for nuclear energy programs, including demonstration of technologies like small modular reactors. The strategic plan will enable Virginia to take advantage of opportunities like these and to demonstrate the Commonwealth's commitment to carbon-free generation, advanced manufacturing, expanded education and research opportunities, and other economic benefits."

About VNEC:

The Virginia Nuclear Energy Consortium (VNEC) established by Virginia statute in 2013 and created in 2015, seeks to facilitate, encourage and advance the nuclear industry in Virginia through collaboration among industry participants, colleges and universities and not-for-profits in areas of need and interest to its members.

New SunLogix Virginia Warehouse Offers Crucial Storage Capacity for Solar Energy Industry

DANVILLE, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- SunLogix, a leading provider of logistics services exclusively to the solar energy industry, today announced it has acquired 500,000 square feet of warehousing space in Danville, Virginia. The warehouse provides additional space on the East Coast for Safe Harbor storage, long-term storage and short-term space to store solar power equipment in the event of project delays or other reasons.

"This warehouse will provide the solar energy industry with important access to long-term and short-term storage space," said David DesVerney, Director of Business Development at SunLogix. "With today's economic turmoil we believe it is important to provide the industry with easy-to-access storage in the event projects are temporarily halted or work slows down."

"The warehouse also provides the industry with storage space to take advantage of Safe Harbor provisions for solar energy equipment," he added.

Additionally, as renewable energy, including solar power, become increasingly important sources of energy, the warehouse will provide valuable storage space for renewable energy providers and contractors.

The warehouse is located in southern Virginia and offers eight dock doors. It is capable of accommodating 20 truckloads per day. The Commonwealth of Virginia does not tax storage of modules, which offers a competitive advantage to solar energy contractors who store materials at the location said DesVerney.

"Companies who elected to Safe Harbor equipment are facing the challenge of how to store it in a cost-effective way," said DesVerney. "SunLogix is providing that solution with low, long-term rates at the Danville facility."

Nationally, SunLogix currently has more than 700 megawatts of solar panels in its inventory at its nine other warehouse locations in the U.S. and the inventory is growing rapidly. The company's warehouses are strategically located near some of the country's busiest ports. SunLogix's other warehouses are located in Norfolk, VA; Charleston, SC; Savannah, GA; Newark, NJ; Los Angeles, CA; Oakland, CA; Houston, TX, Canton, MA; and Denver, CO.

According to DesVerney, SunLogix's ability to provide near-site storage and transportation helps minimize the cost to the customer.

ViewTech Borescopes February 2020 New Video Borescope Clients Announced

TRAVERSE City, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- With the use of video borescopes increasing as a form of predictive maintenance via remote visual inspections ViewTech Borescopes experienced yet another month of record-breaking borescope sales. ViewTech highlights the addition of two of their newest clients adding a VJ-3 video borescope to their inspection tool kit during February 2020: Canadian Nuclear Laboratories of Chalk River, Ontario and Aviation Consultants Inc "ACI" Jet of San Luis Obispo, California.

ViewTech Borescopes recent product announcement of the VJ-3 dual camera video borescope has already improved the inspection capabilities for many of their clients. By allowing the inspection area to be viewed with both a dual forward view and side view camera module, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories knew this unit could improve their tank and pipe inspections. With CNL's current video borescope not providing adequate lighting, ViewTech recommended the VJ-3 dual camera.

By not only drastically improving the quality of their nuclear facility inspection photos, the VJ-3 dual camera would also decrease inspection times. After trying a hands-on, no-cost demo, Canadian Nuclear finalized the purchase of three 6.0mm VJ-3 dual camera video borescope units. With insertion tube lengths of 3.0, 5.0 and 8.0 meters, their VJ-3 dual camera will be able to complete any required facility inspection.

ACI Jet, a global aviation company based in central California, provides aircraft management, charter, maintenance and ground support services as a multi-base fleet operator. After meeting ViewTech at NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition and having previous exposure to the VJ-3 2.8mm unit, their Lead Avionics Technician took advantage of the opportunity to demo the VJ-3 3.9mm x 1.5-meter video borescope. With a required inspection on the calendar, a VJ-3 video borescope demo arrived ahead of schedule. After completing the inspection with quality images, along with simple photo and video documentation, the decision to purchase a video borescope from ViewTech was simple. The VJ-3 demo verified this video borescope could uphold ACI's required safety and compliance requirements.

VJ-3 Video Borescope

The VJ-3 mechanical articulating video borescope is a nondestructive testing instrument used for the remote visual inspection of machinery, equipment and components. The VJ-3 facilitates the visual recording and photo documentation of an inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 consists of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs, and the base unit with control panel, LCD monitor, power source and all necessary circuitry.

About ViewTech Borescopes

ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America's #1 seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation.

Officials welcome Lucas Oil Products to family of sponsors at Rock Maple Racing

HAMPSTEAD, N.H. /ScoopCloud/ -- Rock Maple Racing, New England's premier sanctioned cross-country racing series, announces the sponsorship signing of Lucas Oil Products, Inc., headquartered in Corona, California.

One of the automotive and performance industry's most respected and widely recognized brands, and one of the fastest growing additive lines in the consumer automotive industry. Lucas Oil's premium line of oils, greases and problem solving additives has helped to firmly establish them as a prominent figure in this marketplace.

"We are more than excited to have such a well known and successful company on board at Rock Maple Racing," series president Tara Saxton said. "They are expanding their marketing reach into more wintertime motorsports activities, and we're honored to represent them here in the east."

As part of this partnership, Lucas Oil has added Rock Maple Racing to their winter lineup on the Lucas Oil 2020 Contingency Schedule.

See the schedule at: https://www.mylucasoil.com/blogs/news/2019-lucas-oil-contingency-schedule

"We'll work to show our teams and fans the advantages of using Lucas Oil products in their own vehicles," Saxton added. "This company manufactures the very best lubricants and additives available anywhere. They are known for their support of racing, and we're honored to join the Lucas Oil family."

Lucas Oil has long been directly involved in the American racing industry through sponsorships and event promotions, at all levels. Seeing a need for better lubricants in this industry, Lucas Oil Products went to work again. The end result is a line of high-performance engine oils and gear oils that are second-to-none in the racing industry.

Rock Maple Racing was originally founded in the winter of 1991-92 as New England's first sanctioning body for snowmobile Snocross competition.

ViewTech Borescopes Announces New Clients

TRAVERSE City, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- With a wide variety of industries relying on video borescopes for their remote visual inspections (RVI) and nondestructive testing (NDT) needs, ViewTech Borescopes has announced the addition of several new clients that utilize their VJ-3 Articulating Video Borescope. With a strong emphasis being placed on RVI and NDT throughout Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Aviation, Automotive and Manufacturing industries, ViewTech is trending to double their 2019 video borescope sales year-over-year. Some of ViewTech's newest VJ-3 clients include Minaki Aircraft Repair Services, Woodward Inc, Delta Faucet and Minnesota Jet.

ViewTech Borescopes has many clients throughout the aviation industry, and Larry Lencowski, Director of Maintenance at Minnesota Jet, had previously used a VJ-3 Video Borescope through another business aviation service. When the time came to purchase a new video borescope, Minnesota Jet was comparing ViewTech Borescopes 3.9mm x 1.5m video borescope with another manufacture's scope that was more than double the price. With ViewTech Borescopes 12-month warranty, free loaner and lifetime service program, the peace of mind that the VJ-3 offered compared to the other video borescope made it an easy choice for Minnesota Jet.

Another new aviation client, Minaki Aircraft Repair Services, now utilizes their VJ-3 Video Borescope to drastically reduce major aviation inspection completion times. Having previously used many high-end borescopes, Ken Klein of Minaki stated that "for the money invested, the VJ-3 Video Borescope is the best tool in anyone's shop." Minaki, located 40 minutes north of Kenora, Ontario, owns several Cessna and de Haviland Aircraft and operates an aviation maintenance facility in Canada's Western Ontario province.

Woodward Inc. has been an independent designer, manufacturer and service provider of energy control and optimization solutions for aerospace and industrial markets for more than 150 years. At their Zeeland, Michigan Combustion Test Facility, Seth Rutan, a Manufacturing Engineer, took advantage of ViewTech Borescopes no-cost demo program by having a VJ-3 2.8mm video borescope shipped to their location while a client was at their facility. The size of the 2.8mm x 1.0m VJ-3 was ideal for the inspection of the 3-D printed part, guaranteeing that the piece was clear of dust and debris.

Another of ViewTech's newest VJ-3 Video Borescope clients, Delta Faucet's Jackson, Tennessee production facility, needed a borescope that would articulate inside the bent section of a faucet. By demoing the 6.0mm x 1.5m VJ-3 Video Borescope before purchase, Ron Swaim, a Quality Engineer for Delta, was able to have the video borescope onsite to ensure that ViewTech's VJ-3 could accomplish the task, which it did.

VJ-3 Video Borescope

The VJ-3 mechanical articulating video borescope is a nondestructive visual testing instrument used for the remote visual inspection of machinery, equipment and components. The VJ-3 facilitates the visual recording and photo documentation of an inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 consists of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs, and the base unit with control panel, LCD monitor, power source and all necessary circuitry.

About ViewTech Borescopes

ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America's #1 seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation.

SunRa Solar Staying Ahead with Battery Storage for Massachusetts

FORESTDALE, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- SunRa Solar, Inc. adds battery storage as an option for new solar energy system installations and as a retrofit for existing systems. The company is responding to the needs of Massachusetts homeowners to overcome reliability concerns.

Energy Storage Growing in Massachusetts

Energy storage is becoming the next clean energy associated growth market. That is because storing electricity for later use benefits every aspect of the power supply networks. It isn't simply limited to shifting the use of generated solar power to a later time when solar energy generation is low.

In Massachusetts, both power utilities and energy regulators recognize the need for technologies to improve electricity supply reliability and longer-term network resilience. For this reason, the Bay State has become the first in the nation to make battery storage eligible for new energy efficiency incentives in addition to existing solar incentives through the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Energy Program (SMART).

Utilities Expanding Use of Battery Storage

A utility serving Cape Cod and the Islands launched battery storage projects to serve connected customers in the case of temporary outages. The 25 MW project near Provincetown is designed to provide up to 10 hours of power in the winter and 3 hours during the busy summer season. On Martha's Vineyard, a smaller project will target similar goals of providing power for portions of a day when needed.

Personal Energy Storage Solutions

SunRa Solar finds that some homeowners desire the same power security, while perhaps not having access to ongoing community battery storage programs like these. With the goal of offering superior and dependable options, the company has teamed up with battery storage suppliers like sonnen, a pioneer of intelligent energy storage around the world. With over 40,000 installed storage systems, the Germany based company has nearly a decade of experience in building the most effective and reliable systems available today.

As many local ratepayers know, weather events can uniquely disrupt the electricity supply on the Cape, and even coastal and inland communities in eastern Massachusetts. For homeowners who value it, there are now robust, clean energy solutions. They tie a new or existing solar energy system with battery storage. Designs accommodate keeping entire homes powered for short periods of time or essential services for longer periods of time.

About sonnen

With over 40,000 systems installed since 2010, sonnen is pioneering intelligent energy storage around the world. Born of German engineering and American ingenuity, the sonnen solution is a unique innovation in energy storage that allows you to safely and intelligently power your energy efficient home, day and night. Learn more about sonnen energy storage offerings at https://sonnenusa.com/en/.

About SunRa Solar

The SunRa Solar team has helped over 700 Massachusetts homes go solar and enjoy significant savings with much less dependence on the utility market. With a strict focus on Eastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod, the company can quickly assess, design, install, and commission projects for most homeowners in this part of the Bay State.

Energy Jobs Will Be Easier to Find for Virginians After Enactment of HB2008/SB1348

RICHMOND, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Energy sector jobs will be easier to find following Governor Northam's approval of HB2008 / SB1348 earlier this year. The legislation creates a 17th Energy Career Cluster in the state's education system, says the Virginia Energy Workforce Consortium. An Energy Career Cluster will introduce students to career opportunities in energy and focus their education on the jobs needed to meet the industry's growing workforce needs.

"All forms of energy, traditional and renewable, rely on many of the same skills," said Matt Kellam, chair of the Virginia Energy Workforce Consortium. "While those skills are currently taught in Virginia's schools in other industry clussters, there is little emphasis on how they apply specifically to supplying energy. With this legislation, we will ensure that students are better aware of the opportunities available in meeting our energy needs."

Under the language of the law, the Virginia Department of Education will align education programs with the energy industry competency and credential models developed by the Center for Energy Workforce Development in partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor. This will guarantee that Virginia students' education in an array of fields related to energy will prepare them for energy jobs in the Commonwealth.

"I was proud to serve as the patron for House Bill 2008 during the 2019 session of the General Assembly," said Delegate T. Scott Garrett (R-Lynchburg). "Energy jobs are the backbone of the American economy and we need to make sure all students in the Commonwealth have a pipeline to access this vibrant sector of the 21st century workforce."

Creation of a 17th Energy Career Cluster is supported by a coalition of energy industry companies and business groups including the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, Lynchburg Regional Alliance, Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce, the Virginia Nuclear Energy Consortium, Dominion Energy, Washington Gas, Virginia's Electric Cooperatives, and the Virginia Manufacturers' Association.

About the Virginia Energy Workforce Consortium:

Virginia Energy Workforce Consortium (VEWC) was formed in 2007 to engage energy companies and utilities in strategic, unified, and results-oriented efforts to ensure a skilled, qualified, and diverse workforce to meet future industry needs throughout the Commonwealth. VEWC members include representatives from electric, natural gas, renewable energy, and utility companies; contractors; organized labor unions; industry associations; secondary and postsecondary educational institutions; the public workforce system; and local, regional, and state government agencies.

Energy sector jobs will be easier to find following Governor Northam's approval of HB2008 / SB1348 earlier this year. The legislation creates a 17th Energy Career Cluster in the state's education system, says the Virginia Energy Workforce Consortium. An Energy Career Cluster will introduce students to career opportunities in energy and focus their education on the jobs needed to meet the industry's growing workforce needs.

Solar Energy, Battery Storage, and Electric Vehicles Are the Future in Massachusetts

FORESTDALE, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- SunRa Solar, a seasoned solar energy system installer serving Eastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod, is announcing their new strategy to expand product offerings aimed at Massachusetts homeowners. By widening their solar panel portfolio, refining options to add battery storage and electric vehicle chargers, and simplifying processes, the company expects a greater number of Massachusetts families will find their own path to energy savings and self-sufficiency.

SunRa Solar is adding products from reputable North American manufactures like Solaria and Silfab, as well as overseas makers like LG, Sonnen, among others.

Massachusetts Solar Power Leadership

Massachusetts has been a solar energy leader for several years, already with nearly 2.5 Gigawatts (2,500 Megawatts) of installed generating capacity. That's enough to power almost a half million homes. In 2019, two primary incentives continue to be very favorable for homeowners. The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) gives buyers the ability to take a 30 percent credit on their personal federal taxes. The Solar Massachusetts Renewable Energy Target Program (SMART) provides predictable earnings on generated solar power for 10 years after going into service.

Solar Incentives in Detail

These incentives together create an irresistible savings situation for most Bay State owners. However, both are becoming more limited over time. And the magic number is 4 percent - where each program's value is decreasing in 4 percent increments.

The SMART program provides incentives to owners by setting tariffs for in state utilities to pay for solar power generated by homeowners. Aimed at facilitating an additional 1.6 Gigawatts in new capacity, there are 8 declining blocks of tariffs, each block covering approximately 200 Megawatts of added solar. When each utility satisfies one block, new applicants are allocated to the next block, being assigned approximately 4 percent less value for the energy generated.

According to Michael Tanghe, CEO of SunRa Solar, "The beauty of this new renewable energy program is that it allows us to more accurately predict what each customer will save throughout the life of the program. The biggest variable now is timing. We cannot predict which block a customer will fall into until the papers are signed."

On January 1, 2020, the ITC will also decrease from 30 percent to 26 percent on schedule. That reduction is not trivial and can reduce an owner's benefit by as much as a thousand dollars, and more.

Nearly Automatic Savings

"As long as a customer's home works for solar, and most do, it is practically automatic in Massachusetts to provide a system that immediately reduces energy expenses - literally in the first month," says Mr. Tanghe. "And there is a great added bonus of significantly reducing a household's environmental impact at the same time."

About the company's updates he says, "We've chosen to extend our product line and options to give people more selections to fit their unique needs this year. We are convinced that 2019 is special year for low costs and high savings and want to help as many as we can realize their dreams."

He adds, "The key in selecting products is to make sure you can deliver the right value without compromising performance. Too often companies take the easy path and simply design with the lowest cost products they can find."

About SunRa Solar

The SunRa Solar team has helped over 700 Massachusetts homes go solar and enjoy significant savings with much less dependence on the utility market. With a strict focus on Eastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod, the company can quickly assess, design, install, and commission projects for most homeowners in this part of the Bay State.

Pennsylvania Goes ‘Live’ With EnergyCAP Energy Management Information Solution

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- EnergyCAP, Inc. (ECI) is pleased to announce that its EnergyCAP Enterprise software-based solution is now in full production use by The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (CoPA). CoPA will rely on EnergyCAP to track, audit, and analyze more than 10,000 Commonwealth utility accounts, with an annual utility spend in excess of $125 million.

ECI-via its Bill CAPture(SM) service-will enter invoices from more than 150 utility vendors into EnergyCAP, enabling the Commonwealth to more easily evaluate and reduce energy use for approximately 4,000 buildings. The project was rolled out in conjunction with the Penn State Facilities Engineering Institute (PSFEI) and will measure the Commonwealth's performance in reducing its overall energy consumption to meet Governor Tom Wolf's Executive Order 2019-01.

Commodities tracked within EnergyCAP include electricity, natural gas, water, sewer, steam, and fuel oil. EnergyCAP's Bill CAPture service processes each line item of the utility bills in PDF format, allowing for detailed audits, analysis, and reporting.

The EnergyCAP solution includes an interface to facilitate the transfer of data from EnergyCAP to the Energy Risk Management Application operated by PSFEI. PSFEI provides energy management and procurement services to CoPA, and their efforts will be aided by having direct, automated access to statewide energy across all agencies.

"For the first time in the Commonwealth, we will have an enterprise-wide system in place to track utility consumption and identify areas where we can reduce our usage to meet the governor's goal of reducing our consumption by 3 percent each year moving forward," said PA General Services Deputy Secretary for Property and Asset Management Julien Gaudion. "The EnergyCAP solution will also assist us in our efforts to measure the effectiveness of the more than $80 million investment we've made in energy conservation measures through the Guaranteed Energy Savings Act (GESA) program, which has realized more than $4.6 million in annual savings to date."

The comprehensive implementation project began in early 2018, and the first phase for electricity and natural gas accounts was completed in spring 2019. On-going annual user training sessions will be provided to state personnel at the departmental level as part of the comprehensive EnergyCAP solution.
