Alternative Energy White Papers

This eBook explores the strategic advantages of repurposing brownfield sites for clean energy, highlighting economic and environmental benefits for developers and local communities. It examines the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act’s enhanced incentives, as well as state policies that support brownfield renewable projects.

For 2025 and beyond Nature's Generator focus will be twofold. One path will take us to continue to develop and lead the solar generator industry with solutions that extend inside the walls of your home with unique home integration solutions. Pairing transfer switches and a whole host of generator solutions that are designed to scale and fit your individual needs. Utilizing home integration that is combined with solar generators, we will be aiming towards smart and reliable energy solutions that will push the electrical industry to evolve as we continue to raise the bar and provide you with the solutions you deserve.

The white paper explores the specialized features of energy storage cells, including extended cycle life, high consistency, and enhanced safety. These advancements are shaping the future of energy storage, making systems more efficient and cost-effective while ensuring compatibility with diverse application scenarios such as utility-scale storage, industrial systems, and residential solutions.

The white paper begins by analyzing the current landscape of energy storage systems, highlighting emerging market trends and application scenarios across generation, transmission, and demand sides. It emphasizes significant safety challenges, such as thermal runaway and electrical hazards, while outlining a framework for risk assessment and mitigation.

With large scale energy storage growing rapidly, this white paper explains steps you can take to assure the long-term viability of your battery energy storage system, whether it is standalone or closely coupled with solar or other clean energy sources of generation

The paper outlines how PJM has prevented storage technologies from using a tool to expedite connection to the grid, Surplus Interconnection Service (SIS), that has been endorsed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and successfully utilized by other grid operators.

In the realm of modern home energy management, Power Control Systems (PCS) are emerging as critical solutions amidst increasing demands driven by electric vehicles, heat pumps, and advanced appliances. Recent revisions to the National Electric Code (NEC) from 2020 to 2023 underscore the pivotal role of PCS in optimizing home energy setups. Integrated with Energy Management Systems (EMS), PCS offers homeowners a pathway to navigate regulatory challenges and enhance energy efficiency without the need for costly main panel upgrades. To help understand the changes, Solar Builder has released a white paper on Power Controls & NEC 2023. Written by Chris Crowell, Editor-in-Chief at Solar Builder, it contains information provided by Doug Amarhanow, Product Manager at FranklinWH.
