From downtime to downgrade: The real economic impact of energy disruptions 

Energy is not merely a utility for lighting and basic operations; it also functions as a critical instrument of geopolitical influence. When access to power is disrupted or strategically weaponized during times of conflict, the economic consequences can be severe and far-reaching. 

The missing link in India’s energy transition

While generation capacity from renewables has grown steadily, and commendable strides have been made to reduce the cost of solar PV cells for example, our ability to store, intelligently manage and distribute that energy still remains a massive challenge. This gap isn’t just a technical bottleneck, but also a strategic vulnerability that requires much attention across the entire renewable energy value chain.

Building the hydrogen economy: Overcoming infrastructure challenges

Building India’s hydrogen economy requires strategic infrastructure planning, targeted investments, and supportive policies. As industrial leaders continue demonstrating the viability of renewable energy transitions, the groundwork for hydrogen infrastructure follows naturally.

US-China tariff negotiations and impacts  

Although the suspension of the 24% tariff under Section 301 sends a signal of easing, the retention of the full 10% under Section 201 and the average 83% anti-dumping/countervailing duties means that Chinese solar PV exports to the US still face a combined tax rate of nearly 200%.

How AI is optimizing solar plant efficiency

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world of solar energy as it allows plants to monitor, learn and adapt in real time. Given enormous data collected from several sensors, smart meters, drones, and even weather stations, AI systems utilize machine machine learning algorithms to optimize performance, predict problems and even detect patterns.

Beyond the hype: Why PERC still powers a stronger solar future

New doesn’t always mean better: Passivated emitter and rear contact solar cells have earned their place through real-world reliability and cost-effective manufacturability.
