wind and utility-scale solar projects generated a record 17% of U. electricity in 2025—an enormous jump from their share of less than 1% in 2005 (Energy Information Administration).
National Solar is a world leader in the origination, design, construction, financing and operation of renewable energy systems for the utility energy marketplace.
Newly published data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), reviewed by the SUN DAY Campaign, reveal that solar accounted for over 75% of US electrical generating capacity added in the first nine months of 2025.
NLR has developed a cyber-physical test bed to investigate the complex interactions among emerging microgrid technologies such as grid-interactive power sources, control systems, and communication platforms and bandwidths.
NLR maintains a chart of the highest confirmed conversion efficiencies for research cells for a range of photovoltaic technologies, plotted from 1976 to the present.
With DER management systems (DERMS), utilities can apply the capabilities of flexible demand-side energy resources and manage diverse and dispersed DERs, both individually and in aggregate.
TERMS, DEFINITIONS AND SYMBOLS1 ScopeThis Technical Specification deals with the terms, definitions and symbols from national and international solar photovoltaic standards and relevant documents used within the fiel of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems.
