Leaders from Arizona’s solar power industry have formed the Distributed Energy Resources Alliance (DERA), a non-profit trade organization dedicated to the development of distributed energy resources, including solar, battery storage, active demand management, distributed grid services and smart grid solutions for a reliable, sustainable energy supply.
Joseph Cunningham, director of operations for Sunny Energy and president of DERA, says the newly formed organization works to find constructive, proactive paths for clean energy development that benefit energy consumers, electric utilities and businesses that provide these grid services.
Another DERA mission is to educate companies to diversify from selling only solar.
