Large-scale solar projects facing outsized risks
Obsolescent technology, serial defects, maintenance difficulties, and grid connection limitations are all creating unique risk management problems for North American solar.
Honduras to launch 1.5 GW tender, including 975 MW of renewable energy with storage
The National Electric Energy Company has submitted rules for the international public bidding process for the purchase of 1.5 GW of capacity and energy. The tender will consist of 65% renewable energy with storage and 35% non-renewable energy. The bidding process has also been presented to a forum of Chinese investors.
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.
Solar cell prices decline, production regions continue to diversify
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.
Harnessing the power of agrivoltaics: the future of sustainable land use
With the increasing pressure to decarbonise the energy system while preserving arable land and biodiversity, agrivoltaics is quickly becoming a vital pathway towards sustainable development. A new report from the IEA PVPS Task 13 lays out a compelling vision for how solar energy and agriculture can not only coexist but thrive together.
Tracking the Sun for a brighter tomorrow
Solar trackers are not just an upgrade to existing PV setups—they have the potential to be as crucial as any other component in a solar power plant.
De-risking investments for India’s energy transition
As India strives to move away from its reliance on coal and other fossil fuels, financing this transition remains one of the greatest hurdles. The key challenge lies in de-risking investments to attract the necessary capital for a sustainable and low-carbon energy future.
