Micro-credential (def.):
a high-quality third-party validation of specific skills and training, which while still rigorous, is smaller in scope than the typical professional credential.

Creating a micro-credential for specific leadership skills is new territory, as professions across industries begin to look for new, third-party validation of the specific expertise and training they value. Building on its unique experience creating clean energy micro-credentials, IREC has stepped outside the clean energy space to create its first micro-credential in another arena.

Brian Lydic, IREC Regulatory Engineer
Last month at Intersolar in San Francisco, IREC hosted and participated in a panel discussion on the
State of Smart Inverters: Adoption and Considerations for Implementation
. From this discussion and IREC’s work on these standards, I provide an update and overview on the state of the IEEE 1547 standards and recent developments in California, with an eye to considerations other states would benefit from keeping in mind as they look to capitalize on the potential of smart inverters.

Anaheim Convention Center 207AB
Amid transformational grid changes, distributed energy technologies offer new solutions to utilities' traditional investments in distribution equipment. This session will explore new opportunities for market entrants to provide grid services as distributed resource providers and how distribution planning for utilities can adapt to integrate DERs onto the grid.
Tues 9/25 4-5:00 PM |
Anaheim Convention Center 207AB
As states move through "re-architecting" dockets (e.g., distribution resource planning and utility of the future proceedings), the value assigned to solar is an important variable in defining its role moving forward. Learn from the experts who will describe what is or should be happening as states grapple with the value of solar on the grid.

A new study from Vote Solar, GRID Alternatives and the Coalition for Community Solar Access,
The Vision for U.S Community Solar: A Roadmap for 2030
, helps state policymakers, market participants, and advocates address gaps and expand community solar options. GTM Research conducted the study to evaluate the community solar market potential and identify pathways for community solar adoption nationwide by 2030.
Mari Hernandez, IREC regulatory program manager, was on the
