“Half of its 1,440 panels are in place, as are the concrete footings and steel frames for the remainder.” Thank you @ModBee for writing about how construction at the first Project Nexus location is going. modbee.com/news/business/…

At #2, UC Merced researchers are joining an effort to ease solar siting woes #CAProjectNexus

Singapore has built one of the world's biggest inland floating solar farms in a working reservoir. Haslinda Amin explores how it helps sustain the country's growing demand for green energy. More on Momentum: trib.al/UZRJFNw

“CA faces urgent pressure to expand #RenewableEnergy infrastructure on a finite amount of land. Solar may make the most out of this dilemma by broadening services beyond energy generation alone.” – UC Davis Wild Energy Center report

If only we sustain the political will. #ClimateSolutions #FloatingSolar

According to NREL, “Floating solar could account for 1/2 of the solar capacity needed to decarbonize the US grid by 2050.” If only we sustain the political will. 🌊☀️ tinyurl.com/3c3d79hk #SolarEnergy #FloatingSolar #ClimateSolutions

Power from the sun, shade from the panels. Ever heard of solar orchards? Washington State is investing in dual-purpose solar panels that protect fruit from sun damage while powering farm equipment with clean energy. 🍎⚡tinyurl.com/7jsjbyzp #Agrivoltaics #ClimateSolutions

Happy National Renewable Energy Day. A new analysis shared with The New York Times shows how countries around the world are rapidly adding solar and wind capacity, now cheaper and more reliable than ever. tinyurl.com/mu6yzuwu #ClimateSolutions #SolarCanals #CAProjectNexus

On this #NationalRenewableEnergyDay & 1st day of Spring, the #CAProjectNexus team is proud to announce that as of next week, we’ll not only be making shade but making energy as the 1st arrays of Project Nexus – CA’s first solar canal pilot – go live! #SolarCanals Turlock Irrigation District💧🌞

Welcome to the California Solar Canal Initiative. #solarcanals ☀️💧#solarpower publicexchange.usc.edu/csci-summit/

What happens when 7 universities & 3 state agencies join forces to save water, land, and generate renewable energy at scale? The #CaliforniaSolarCanalInitiative. tinyurl.com/3nysetww USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts & Sciences UC Merced UC Berkeley UC Irvine UC San Francisco San José State University University of Kansas

Seven leading research universities are collaborating to advance solar arrays over California’s canals. #CaliforniaSolarCanalInitiative Full release: x.com/USCDornsife/st… USC USC Price School Solar AquaGrid UC Irvine UC San Francisco UC Merced UC Berkeley University of Kansas San José State University

The California Solar Canal Initiative (CSCI), including USC, is exploring solar panels over canals to save water, generate clean energy, and boost sustainability. With support from USC Public Exchange, researchers are developing tools to help scale this innovative solution.

Grateful to have the leaders from the CA state agencies responsible for land, energy, water attend the 1st #CASolarCanalSummit and engage with researchers to study how best to advance solar canals in California. The goal? To save water, land & generate renewable energy at scale.

Reducing evaporation, conserving land, generating clean energy. Watch this video progress report on #CAProjectNexus, CA’s first solar canal pilot, as it starts to generate renewable electricity, data, & learning. #SolarCanals Turlock Irrigation District UC Merced tinyurl.com/yry9syts

Milestone reached! The #CAProjectNexus wide-span array is now commissioned—California’s first solar canal pilot is generating clean energy while showing how we can save water, conserve land, and power a sustainable future. #SolarCanals #CleanEnergy #SustainableFuture
