The two companies are targeting to reach an annual production capacity of 20 GW by the end of 2025. Manufacturing activities are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of next year.

According to Mercom’s Solar Funding report almost 25.5 GW of solar projects were acquired in the first half of the year, totaling $18.5 billion.

Clean Energy Associates found a myriad of problems at solar installations around the world, noting that because most are caused by poor installation practices, many can be identified and resolved relatively easily before they lead to fires, safety risks and potentially costly liabilities.

The workforce and supply chain challenges faced by growing solar industry can be overcome through new partnerships and contracting approaches between EPCs and developers, according to a McKinsey report.

CubicPV says it plans to establish 10 GW of conventional mono wafer manufacturing capacity in the United States, driven by incentives in the US Inflation Reduction Act. The wafers could fill a void in the domestic supply chain and create 1,500 new direct jobs.

The US solar industry had its best first quarter in history as supply chain challenges started to fade, according to the US Solar Market Insight Q2 2023 report.

Sunfolding’s new TopoTrack rows are reportedly 10 times shorter than traditional trackers, and they can provide 20 degrees of variation between trackers, thus improving slope tolerance between rows.

The PV Evolution Labs (PVEL) 2023 Scorecard identifies 250 solar modules from 35 manufacturers as “top performers.”

The growing need for virtual power plants, which dispatch energy when and where it is needed, is giving rise to opportunities for software companies, such as Leap, to handle the complexities of navigating energy markets.

NREL researchers model viable pathways to supplying the estimated 60 TW of capacity required for decarbonization, and study the effect that disruptive solar technologies may have on deployment cost and market opportunity.
