In Albuquerque, N.M., a smart grid-solar-energy storage project backed by a consortium of Japanese giants is testing out a key element of the idea of net-zero energy communities: how to harness mass-market solar to balance the grid inside and outside the neighborhood’s borders. At least, that’s where the idea could go for Mesa Del Sol, a mixed-use redevelopment project with plans for 18 million square feet of office, industrial, and retail space and about 37,000 homes. Forest City, the Cleveland-based property development giant, is in charge of the decades-long development plan, and last week unveiled the first piece of it: the 78,000-square-foot Aperture Center, which has been set up to run on its own solar power. The event center’s 440-kilowatt peak load will be covered by a 50-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system, an 80-kilowatt fuel cell, a 240-kilowatt natural gas power...
