Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere, powering everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, residential PV storage systems, and, more recently, mitigating curtailment in large-scale wind and solar power plants. EVs are driving large-scale demand for Li-ion batteries which will result in substantial volumes of spent batteries in the near future. This scenario highlights the potential for repurposing EV batteries for second-life stationary applications, which could maximise their value before recycling. However, to fully realise this opportunity, several economic, technical, and regulatory challenges must be addressed and resolved.
Scientists have placed mist nozzles inside a bifacial PV module and measured it under an extremely hot climate. The module was found to generate up to 37% more electricity on sunny days and up to 46% more on cloudy days compared to standard monofacial panels.
India’s Exicom has launched its next-generation DC fast charger, Harmony Direct 2.0, engineered for reliability and efficiency in EV charging. The charger is powered by India’s first indigenously developed EV charger controller platform.
India’s energy sector emission intensity could decrease by 48–57% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels—according to a new emissions modelling analysis by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) and the Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE).
Engineers at Monash University have a developed a next-generation water-based battery suitable for application in residential use and compatible with rooftop solar in real time.
Consolidated operational revenues are up 89.1% to INR 780.15 crore in FY 2025.
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.
With EcoVadis Platinum Rating, Vikram Solar joins top 1% globally in sustainability performance.
pv magazine is compiling a guide to home solar installations, aimed at those who are interested in installing but are new to the market and want to make an informed decision. We have spoken to associations, installers and industry specialists in major solar markets across the globe to compile best practice guidance and advice that aims to be applicable to home solar installations anywhere in the world.
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.
