We recently shared an informative article on how technology is transforming our world with a focus on nine specific technologies. Each week we’re going to take a closer look at each of these technologies and how they are shaping our future. Today we’re turning the spotlight onto Distributed energy storage systems (DESS), which are smaller-scale energy storage systems that are typically installed at residential, commercial, or industrial sites. The process involves capturing energy generated for use at a later date. It's necessary for renewable energy sources like solar and wind, as their energy production fluctuates and doesn't always align with electricity demand. Energy storage allows us to use cleaner power which is necessary in our efforts to achieve net zero. A few types of energy storage systems include: Batteries Pumped Hydro Storage Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) Thermal Energy Storage The more we learn about these technologies, the closer we get to a sustainable future. https://bit.ly/3YTdF0N #sustainablefuture #cleanenergy #technology #energystorage #renewableenergy #netzero #bethechange #Caelux

The Inflation Reduction Act has sparked optimism about the revival of innovation and manufacturing in the US. As we focus on the next steps—like building a green workforce, moving communities toward clean energy, and making electricity more affordable, it's evident that federal support remains critical. Three specific areas we need to give attention to include: Building out a truly domestic supply chain ↔ We need to evaluate who we’re buying from, whether they have the necessary supply, and if their investment base is substantial enough to support rapid expansion across the private sector. The Department of Energy needs to assess gaps in the ecosystem and develop funding mechanisms to support domestic growth while still ensuring that manufacturers have what they need to fulfill orders. Developing powerful and resilient energy grids ↔ Energy grids are complex ecosystems and utility companies are not yet at the forefront of green energy transitions. Manufacturing, not to mention hydrogen, direct air capture, and AI data centers, can be incredibly energy-intensive. As more companies expand and debut their products, they will need to deal with power upgrades, transformer lead times, and interconnection queues. Utility companies must be a part of our decarbonization strategy from the outset, which state and municipal governments can help facilitate. Creating a competitive energy marketplace ↔ Climate change is an all-encompassing challenge and will require multifaceted strategies to effectively tackle. As such, building a robust marketplace for renewable energy is needed to catalyze green energy adoption. Startups should have ready access to federal grants, as the government is the best entity to incubate cutting-edge technology. With the requisite startup capital, companies will have a level playing field and those with the best unit economics will naturally rise to the top. While we are hard at work in contributing to our country’s clean energy future, it’s a journey we cannot walk alone. We must come together so that everyone can benefit from the IRA. https://bit.ly/4dArEN6 #IRA #inflationreductionact #innovation #cleanenergy #future

Did you know solar power in space has been around for more than half a century? Since space-based solar panels don’t have to contend with clouds, atmosphere, or nighttime, they collect and convert substantially more energy than earth-based solar panels. Pretty exciting knowing that solar power in space has the potential to help us even further in reaching our goals toward a sustainable future. https://bit.ly/4fFjTaS #solar #solarpower #sustainability #solarpanels #solarinspace #Caelux

To date, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) represents the most significant federal investment in addressing the climate crisis, aimed at fostering economic opportunities and building a clean energy economy that benefits everyone. As we enter the second year of the IRA, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has released new data on American consumer energy savings. According to the IRS, in 2023, more than 3.4 million American families have benefitted from $8.4 billion in tax credits, which helped reduce the costs of clean energy and energy efficiency upgrades to their homes. For more information on how this historic investment has been helping to build a cleaner future, click the link below: https://bit.ly/3SP1vm0 #IRA #inflationreductionact #innovation #cleanenergy #future

In honor of the IRA’s (Inflation Reduction Act) second anniversary, we’d like to take a moment and reflect on some key achievements we’ve seen so far. 🌐 Revitalizing former manufacturing hubs: The IRA helped create an incredible opportunity for communities to participate in the solar boom, revitalizing many former manufacturing hubs. For instance, Caelux is proud to build a domestic manufacturing capacity right here in Los Angeles, an opportunity that would not be possible without the IRA’s financial incentives. 🌐 Enticing manufacturers to the US: The IRA incentivized manufacturing these products in the US, effectively attracting manufacturers to the US and catalyzing factory expansions and new facility investments across the country. 🌐 Promoting green energy job creation: The IRA is responsible for nearly 1.5 million jobs across the green energy sector. Reshoring manufacturing jobs is a bipartisan priority, and the IRA has played a central role in revitalizing the manufacturing sector, bringing back high-quality jobs to the US while strengthening the country’s clean energy infrastructure in the process. These are just a few of the key achievements, there is more to discover in our article, "Celebrating Progress and Charting the Future as IRA Turns Two" linked below. https://bit.ly/4dArEN6 #inflationreductionact #IRA #secondanniversary #cleanenergyfuture #keyachievements #sustainablegrowth #article #Caelux

When generating electricity in space, the four most important features are as follows: 🛰 Efficiency: Teams must generate as much electricity as possible with the amount of sun available in space. 🛰 Cost: Congressional resource allocation has not kept pace with NASA budget requests, requiring the agency (and the many programs it funds) to do more with less. 🛰 Weight: The weight of solar cell materials directly impacts the cost. Every kilogram of weight reduction produces significant cost savings. 🛰 Radiation Tolerance: Space-based solar power products are bombarded by high-energy protons and cosmic rays, which damage materials and diminish effectiveness.

Have you heard of the ‘Duck Curve’? It’s a unique challenge California faces in its quest for renewable energy. Essentially, as solar power peaks at midday and drops in the evening, there is a significant increase in the need for electricity generated from traditional sources. This is why solar batteries are extremely important- they store the extra power generated during the day and supply it during the evening when the electricity demand is higher. Since 2019, California’s battery storage growth has been remarkable. A decade ago, we relied heavily on fossil fuel to get us through the evening; now as battery capacity has expanded, our reliance on gas has gone down. We find it remarkable to see this kind of progress, which truly reflects our commitment to achieving net-zero emissions. https://bit.ly/3yw9ddS #California #DuckCurve #solar #solarpower #netzero #renewableenergy #Caelux
