India curtailed more than 8 TWh of solar generation in Q1 FY2027: Kearney

India curtailed more than 8 TWh of solar power generation between April and June 2026, with grid congestion identified as a major factor, according to a report by global management consulting firm Kearney. The report says the nation’s ambition to hit 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 will depend on how quickly the power transmission network scales up its planning, execution, and digitalization capabilities.

The case for vertical BIPV

A major IEA PVPS Task 15 study finds that vertical BIPV façades can complement rooftop solar with minimal yield penalties, smoothing generation across the day while offering greater design flexibility. Across 357 configurations in 44 cities, the research also shows BIPV economics improve substantially when avoided building-material costs are counted, with long-term viability shaped by electricity prices, financing, installation costs, and application type.

Beyond the battery: Building India’s electronics backbone for the energy transition

The energy-storage value chain should not be viewed only through the lens of battery chemistry and gigawatt-hours. There is a parallel value chain developing around the battery, covering design, PCBA, embedded controls, power electronics, sensing, communication, testing and system integration.

Weaker monsoon lifts irradiance in western India as August storms dim the east

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that northwestern and southern India and Pakistan recorded above-average solar irradiance during the 2026 summer monsoon, benefiting major PV-producing regions, while tropical depressions drove irradiance sharply below average across eastern and central India. Favorable solar conditions helped support Indian PV generation and electricity exports to Nepal after late-August floods damaged hydropower plants and other energy infrastructure there.
