Arevon Energy has begun operations at its Vikings Solar+Storage Project in Imperial County, Calif., near Holtville. 

The $529 million project includes 157 MW of solar coupled with 150 MW of battery energy storage.

“Vikings’ advanced design sets the standard for safe and reliable solar+storage configurations,” says Kevin Smith, CEO at Arevon 

“The project incorporates solar panels, trackers and batteries that showcase the growing strength of U.S. renewable energy manufacturing. Its completion marks a significant milestone for Arevon, as we continue to meet California’s clean energy needs while advancing energy security and independence nationwide.”

Megapack battery energy storage systems for the project were manufactured by Tesla in Lathrop, Calif., First Solar provided thin film PV solar panels and Nextracker provided smart solar trackers. San Diego-headquartered SOLV Energy led the EPC activities.

San Diego Community Power is the project’s offtaker through a long-term agreement with Arevon. The companies have also executed a commercial agreement for Arevon’s 200 MW Avocet Energy Storage Project located in the City of Carson, Calif., which is expected to start construction next year.

Ask a Pro

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:

Don’t live on a budget.  Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means.  What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?

As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do.  You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”

Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country.  Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.

I see.

There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.

LOL.

What’s Wrong with Human Civilization?

It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.

People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species.  Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed.  They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.

As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
