From Lighthouses to Solar Fields: A Brief (and Kind of Wild) History of Ground Screws
Ground screws trace back to 1833, when a blind Irish engineer named Alexander Mitchell patented the screw pile — a foundation technology designed to hold structures steady on shifting sand and soft mud, nearly...

New York's solar market is one of the most active in the country. With over 6 GW of distributed solar installed and ambitious community solar programs expanding across...
New Jersey has one of the most solar-friendly policy environments in the Mid-Atlantic. Between the state's Solar Renewable Energy Certificate program, expanding community solar market, and aggressive net metering policies,...
Solar energy improves air quality by displacing electricity that would otherwise be generated by burning fossil fuels — reducing emissions of particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) at the source. For installers building ground mount solar arrays, that's more than a talking point about carbon....
A mature forest stand holds a significant amount of carbon in its trees, root systems, and soil. Clearing that stand to install a solar array creates a carbon debt on day one, one that takes years of displaced fossil-fuel emissions to repay. The...
