There is no consensus on the future of PV technology but there is general agreement that existing silicon solar cells do not represent the pinnacle of solar energy generation. This has resulted in the exploration of alternative materials and device architectures, with tandem solar cells emerging as the front runner for the next generation of solar cells to be deployed at scale.

US electrical contractor Rosendin plans to demonstrate robotic-assisted solar module installation at a large-scale solar energy project under construction in Texas.

The two-day SolarX Accelerator Programme in Mauritius brought together 35 startups from across Asia and APAC region to accelerate the development and deployment of innovative solar solutions.

WorldOne Energies has commissioned a 1.2 GW solar module manufacturing line that will produce its Supreme series n-type TOPCon panels.

Jupiter International Ltd has secured an INR 500 crore investment from ValueQuest SCALE Fund and its affiliates to support expansion of its solar manufacturing capacity.

Scientists in Spain have simulated the combination of power-to-heat-to-power storage systems with lithium-ion batteries to supply energy needs and heat pump production of an electrified dwelling. PV self-consumption was found to increase by up to 20% and levelized cost of energy decrease by 7%.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, FOB China TOPCon below 450 W modules for spot loading were stable at $0.093/W, with price indications between $0.087-0.100/W. Furthermore, it reveals that current price increases are not being uniformly adopted across all Chinese manufacturers, with significant price differences—often several euro cents— being observed between the Top 5 and Top 10 manufacturers.

This expansion comes at a critical time for the U.S. solar industry with much uncertainty around supply chains and pressure to increase domestic output.

According to the “Energy Statistics India 2024” report by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, total emissions from the energy sector have been on the rise, underscoring the urgency for sustainable energy practices and stronger ESG-aligned interventions.

JSW Energy will develop, operate and maintain the BESS in Kerala with the primary objective of making it available to KSEB for charging/discharging of the BESS on an on-demand basis.

Bihar State Power Generation Co. Ltd has invited bids to set up a 116 MW AC grid-connected solar PV plant with 50.5 MW/241 MWh battery storage system in Lakhisarai district of Bihar.

Honeywell Protonium uses machine learning to optimize the design and operation of green hydrogen projects. Aternium, a US-based large-scale clean hydrogen producer, will deploy the technology at its planned Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub.

Ashish Khanna, Director General of International Solar Alliance, highlighted the need to enable private-sector investments in driving technology and innovation for distributed renewable energy, while the government focuses on developing the policy and regulatory framework and results-based financing to make these solutions affordable for the poor.

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) revised antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVDs) on Vietnamese and Malaysian solar products in December 2024. The move has reshaped the non-Chinese supply chain, with further use of tariffs likely under the new administration, explains InfoLink’s Corrine Lin.

The future of global sustainability hinges on clarity—where every tonne of carbon saved is measured, understood, and built upon. For corporations ready to lead, artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t a distant horizon; it’s the lens through which progress comes into focus.

Solar cooking solutions are not just technological advancements but transformative tools for sustainability, health, and economic empowerment

Rather than viewing battery recycling as waste management, it should be reframed as an economic and industrial opportunity. Advanced recycling techniques can recover up to 95% of lithium, cobalt, and nickel, reducing India’s reliance on raw material imports.
