In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that India’s solar generation potential was significantly hampered during September and October due to an intensified southwest monsoon, resulting in a 15% decrease in irradiance compared to the long-term average.

Nextpower (formerly Nextracker), a global provider of ground-mount solar tracker technologies, has launched its NX Anchor solar tracker foundation system in India. Designed for structural stability and seamless integration with NX Horizon trackers, NX Anchor accelerates solar installation, reduces costs, and enhances reliability across diverse soil conditions.

Balasubramanian A, senior vice president at TeamLease Services, shares insights on workforce requirements, skill gaps, and the key trends shaping India’s renewable energy industry.

Scientists in India have developed a novel method to optimize the placement of an EV charging station on the grid, along with the size of its PV generation and battery storage. They have also created a framework for an innovative slot offering.

The new ICRA report states that enhancing storage capacity and strengthening the grid—both within states and across inter-state networks—in a time-bound manner remains extremely critical as the share of renewables in the generation mix rises.

Data from agrivoltaic canopy trials in France, developed by energy producer TSE and the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE), indicate measurable temperature, water-balance, and yield effects that reinforce the role of managed agrivoltaics in farm-level climate adaptation.

NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd (NREL) has commissioned 75.5 MW of solar capacity at the 1,255 MW Khavda-I solar energy project in Gujarat.

Bondada Group has entered into a long-term partnership with Adani Group for the design and construction of solar projects. The framework agreement formalizing the partnership was signed recently by both companies.

A wastewater treatment plant in the canton of Bern has been inaugurated with what dhp Technology claims is the world’s largest foldable rooftop solar installation to date. The 3.6 MW array spans several treatment basins, allowing the existing site to serve dual purposes: wastewater treatment at ground level and solar power generation overhead.

India installed solar power generation capacity totaling 26.6 GW in the first nine months (9M) of the calendar year 2025, an increase of 53.7% compared to 17.3 GW added in 9M 2024, according to Mercom India’s newly released report. Large-scale solar accounted for 81.5% of the capacity commissioned in 9M 2025, while rooftop solar contributed 18.5%.
