BayWa r.e. Americas

Solar Energy Industries Association’s recent announcement marks a significant milestone: the United States has reached 5 million solar installations, empowering neighborhoods and communities in every corner of the country. 🇺🇸 ☀️ While it took the US 50 decades to hit 5 million solar installations, experts predict it will only take 6 more years to reach 10 million. Beyond adding energy to the grid, the spike in solar energy generation also creates meaningful jobs for communities. 🌱 With the help of the Inflation Reduction Act driving solar installations, Americans are able to lower energy costs, improving reliability and driving American energy independence.

More from our team at CleanPower 2024! In between meetings and learning sessions our team enjoyed spending time together and exploring Minneapolis. 🏈 The conference kicked off (literally) on Monday, where the team practiced their football skills at the Vikings Stadium during ACP’s opening reception. A field goal contest and live music only added to the fun. 🐑 Witnessing agrivoltaics in action was the perfect way to end the conference. During a tour of a nearby solar farm, we talked about how we can make sheep grazing work on a bigger scale across the country. We’re already looking forward to connecting again next year at CleanPower 2025 in Phoenix! #WeEffectChange #CleanPower #ACP #agrivoltaics

Spotted in Minneapolis, the BayWa r.e. team has been roaming the halls of ACP’s CleanPower this week. 👀 Thank you American Clean Power Association (ACP) for another successful event! ☀️   #Changemakers #WeEffectChange #ACP

We're more than developers; we're partners. In Mexico, we teamed up with the local organization Apinova 🐝 to enhance the ecosystem by introducing beekeeping at a solar farm we manage. Here’s how this benefits us and the local communities: 🐝 Support for Local Agriculture: Introducing bees improves pollination, boosting crop production nearby. This helps local farmers and strengthens our relationship with the community.  🍯 Economic Boost: The honey produced on our sites creates new income opportunities for locals, directly benefiting the economies where we work.   🌱 Biodiversity Benefits: Encouraging bee populations through beekeeping can support the overall biodiversity of the area, helping to maintain healthy ecosystems and preserve native plant species.  #biodiversity #beekeeping #WeEffectChange 

At the Museum of Lompoc, Rand Lara, Facilities Manager for BayWa r.e., spent time connecting with the community and talking about Strauss, the first wind farm on California’s coast! From sharing the journey behind the construction of Strauss to discussing the economic impact benefits, this event highlighted the importance of partnerships and teamwork. We are grateful for every chance to connect with the community and talk about how we can work together for a better future. Thank you to the Museum of Lompoc for hosting us and thank you to everyone who attended! #Changemakers #WindProject

Cleanpower is just around the corner! 🔌🔋    Our team will be roaming the halls of the Minneapolis Convention Center from May 7 through May 9. We’re excited to connect with industry peers and chat about renewable energy, solar, wind, and energy storage—or even sheep! #CleanPower #ACP #Changemakers

We empower our operation services team to act differently by integrating innovative solutions! Through our in-house team of drone pilots, we can directly collect critical data to improve power production efficiency across our solar project portfolio.   How do we achieve this?   Our technicians leverage drones to capture strategic scans of the solar projects, and with the help of our partners at Raptor Maps — Solar Software, we generate detailed reports to identify thermal anomalies. Subsequently, our performance engineering team swiftly identifies DC health concerns. They prioritize repairs in collaboration with the field team to optimize performance beyond basic inverter availability.   #Operations #PerformanceEngineering #DCHealth #Innovation #Partnerships #WeEffectChange

For Earth Day, we rolled up our sleeves again and headed to the beach for our annual beach clean-up!  The BayWa r.e. team partnered with The Surfrider Foundation and split up between Seal Beach and Oceanside, collecting over 425 pounds of trash combined. With every piece of trash collected and properly disposed of, we are taking steps towards a cleaner planet. 🌱   Earth Day reminds us that our actions matter beyond just one day. By recycling, using public transport and choosing sustainable products and brands, we can shape a better future. 🌎💚   Thank you to everyone who joined and Tammie Harlan and Yelena Demidenko for organizing!    Interested in helping The Surfrider Foundation clean up and protect our oceans?
