India’s rooftop solar potential is vast. Policy momentum, domestic manufacturing expansion, and innovative retail models are laying the groundwork for mass adoption. The focus now must be on making solar a simple, dependable household choice — where purchasing panels is as straightforward as buying a home appliance.

Hydrogen is moving quickly from promise to reality, and pipelines will be the foundation of this transition. The world is preparing to invest billions in hydrogen-ready transport networks, and the demand for advanced steel pipes will surge. With its strong track record, competitive costs, and supportive policies, India is well-positioned to lead.

When you combine lower solar hardware costs with rising grid tariffs, payback periods tighten—especially for homes that consume 200–400 units a month and can run major daytime loads (fridge, fans, air-cooling, work-from-home equipment) on solar power.

India’s climate tech ecosystem now counts over 800 startups, ranging from solar and electric mobility pioneers to agri-tech and water management disruptors. Many of these startups begin as humble experiments.

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.

The integration of AI and ESG is redefining what supply chain management can be. AI brings the speed, scale, and foresight to manage complexity with confidence. ESG ensures that capability is channelled into transparent, accountable, and sustainable outcomes.

While subsidies have provided an important early boost, the future of residential solar affordability rests on financing models that expand access consistently. Loans create a pathway for households across diverse income brackets and geographies to invest in clean energy without waiting for government support.

Utility-scale solar investment fell 19% globally, led by mainland China, Spain, Greece, and Brazil, while EU spending rose 63%, says BloombergNEF (BNEF).

In recent months, solar energy has been recognised by the EU Commission as critical grid infrastructure, with a growing awareness around cybersecurity in particular raising questions about Europe’s energy security. In this article, solar cybersecurity specialist Uri Sadot – Managing Director at SolarDefend and Elected Chairman of SolarPower Europe’s Digitalization Group – discusses what PV installers, developers, EPCs and system owners can do to better protect themselves – and the grid.

Scaling electrified fleets relies not just on vehicles, but on the infrastructure that powers them: without a robust, accessible, and optimized charging ecosystem, fleet EV adoption may stall, undermining both environmental goals and operational efficiency.
