Candi Solar secures $58.5 million from IFC
Candi Solar, a provider of distributed solar solutions for commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses, has secured $58.5 million in funding led by the International Finance Corp. (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. The facility will directly finance nearly 200 MWp of new projects.
Renewable energy assets life-cycle management through tech-enabled maintenance strategies
Modern wind turbines and solar plants generate large volumes of operational data. By leveraging analytics, inefficiencies can be identified, performance assessed in real-time, and emerging issues addressed before they escalate. A dynamic operations and maintenance (O&M) support system builds on this intelligence to provide a strong grip on performance levels while minimising downtime.
Waaree Energies secures 350 MW solar module order from AMPIN Energy Transition
Waaree Energies will supply 350 MW of TOPCon G12R modules to power AMPIN’s flagship solar projects across India. The delivery of the modules is scheduled to be completed by March 2026
India expected to add 41.5 GW of new solar capacity in FY2026
JMK Research expects India to add around 41.5 GW of new solar capacity in FY2026 (twelve months ending March 31, 2026). Of this annual addition, around 32 GW is expected to come from utility-scale projects, 8 GW from rooftop solar, and 1.5 GW from off-grid systems.
JinkoSolar achieves world record efficiency of 27.79% for TOPCon solar cell
The Chinese manufacturer says Germany’s Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) has independently verified the result.
UK adds 1.9 GW of solar in 12 months
Latest government figures record 20.7 GW deployed PV capacity at the end of October 2025, up 10.4% in a 12-month period. Surge in contracts for difference (CfD) supported connections recorded in 2025 with more large ground-mount projects in the pipeline.
Premier Energies raises stake to 80% in aluminium frames JV
Premier Energies now holds 80% of Premier-Green Aluminium, the JV company formed for manufacturing aluminium frames for solar PV modules, with Nuevosol Energy holding the remaining 20%.
India needs targeted public finance to scale green steel: IEEFA
The country’s planned steel capacity expansion presents an opportunity to adopt cleaner technologies if supported by the right financing pathways.
European solar manufacturing ‘considerably behind’ NZIA targets, says EU observatory
A report from the Clean Energy Technology Observatory finds that while the EU is a technology leader in PV inverters, trackers and mounting structures, its manufacturing capacity in solar ingots, wafers, cells and modules falls far behind targets set by the Net Zero Industry Act.
Why battery storage is becoming non-negotiable for renewable-rich grids in India
As renewable capacity rises, the question is no longer whether India can generate green power. The real challenge is whether the grid can absorb it smoothly and deliver it reliably when people actually need it. This is where battery energy storage systems (BESS) are increasingly seen not as a luxury but as a core part of grid planning.
