As utility-scale solar and energy storage continue to drive grid expansion, the engineering decisions made early in a project's lifecycle grow in importance. This episode of Solar Spotlight focuses on the value of integrating engineering expertise from earliest stages of project development. Decisions vital to a solar project's success, like product selection, logistics and finding the right engineering partner — can ultimately reduce risk and costly mistakes in the long run.

Solar Spotlight: Safe, smooth and secure energy storage
The U.S. solar industry is constantly remaking itself to adapt to market demands, and so too are the manufacturers producing these renewable technologies. Following that notion, Jinko, a prominent PV module company, recently expanded its manufacturing operations to include battery energy storage systems. With the two complementary technologies under one umbrella, Jinko is supplying the utility and C&I segments with 24-hour energy from a single source.
On this episode of Solar Spotlight by Solar Power World, Adam Detrick, director of product management and technical services at Jinko, discusses the company's strategic expansion into energy storage and how it's ensuring solar + storage projects deliver reliable, long-term performance. He also highlights Jinko's focus on providing safe, smooth and secure energy storage solutions through its comprehensive pre-integration services, robust long-term service agreements (LTSAs) and strong commitment to cybersecurity, giving customers confidence in the durability, reliability and security of their systems.
