EUPD Research explores India’s rapid solar manufacturing expansion, its growing export potential, competitiveness relative to China, and the evolving trade and sustainability dynamics shaping global PV markets.

Elon Musk says a constellation of solar-powered artificial intelligence satellites could regulate the planet’s energy balance and limit global warming.

Researchers show how solar panel imports saved nearly 600 American lives over a decade, while industry data indicates that the Suniva solar tariff may have caused more than one hundred preventable deaths.

With renewables’ share in power generation expected to grow significantly, there will also be a push in the demand for next-generation transformers that are capable of handling the intermittent nature of solar, wind, and other non-polluting sources of energy. The grid of the future demands not only more transformers but smarter, adaptive, and sustainable designs that can support India’s ambitious renewable targets and fast-rising power demand.

As nations move towards low-carbon economies, hydrogen pipelines could become the backbone of industrial decarbonisation, linking production hubs to demand centres with efficiency, safety, and reliability. Building this backbone is not just an engineering task; it is a strategic investment in a cleaner energy future.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

As India races toward its goal of 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, having already reached 217.62 GW as of January 2025, integrating variable renewable energy sources requires flexible storage solutions that can bridge generation-demand gaps while maintaining grid reliability. The dramatic cost declines, technological innovations, and supportive policy frameworks have created a perfect storm for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) adoption, transforming what was once a nascent technology into a commercially viable solution driving India’s clean energy future and enabling a more flexible, resilient, and decentralized power system.

A comprehensive new report from IEA PVPS Task 12 reveals how countries around the world are managing the growing volumes of end-of-life solar modules, implementing regulations and scaling recycling infrastructure to handle the expected increment in PV waste over the coming decades.

With lithium being an imported raw material, recycling and repurposing of lithium batteries once they have completed their lifecycle is paramount. In line with this, Indian startups have come up with several ingenious business models for second-life applications that repurpose EV or lithium-ion batteries for stationary storage.
