Installations

Kosol Energie has completed the installation and commissioning of a 142 MWp ground-mounted solar project for Coal India Ltd in Gujarat, deploying n-type TOPCon bifacial modules based on POE–POE encapsulation technology.

India installed around 28.6 GW of utility-scale solar and 7.9 GW of rooftop solar capacity in calendar year 2025—according to Annual India Solar & Wind Report Card – CY2025 by JMK Research.

CleanMax’s 16.83 MW wind–solar hybrid project in Gujarat will supply renewable power to Shell’s LNG terminal at Hazira, Surat. Its 13.2 MW wind–solar hybrid project in Karnataka will power Shell’s Technology Centre in Bengaluru.

A research team in Germany developed a dynamic model of spray cooling for floating PV systems that couples thermal behavior, electrical performance, and active cooling, and validated it against a 750 kW installation. Simulations across four climates showed that spray cooling reduces module temperatures by up to 42% and improves energy yield by up to 3.8%, with benefits strongly dependent on local conditions.

Juniper Green Energy has begun commissioning a hybrid renewable energy project combining 259 MWp solar, 280 MW wind, and 200 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) spanning Rajasthan and Gujarat. The project is designed to deliver reliable, firm and dispatchable clean power aligned to grid demand.

Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy has reported EPC order inflows exceeding INR 10,062 crore in FY26, following the award of an 875 MW (AC) solar project in Bikaner, Rajasthan, from Coal India, and a 50 MW (AC) project in Maharashtra from an independent power producer.

Welspun New Energy has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) for a 200 MW solar project paired with a 400 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS).

A new metric for assessing total system costs puts a least-cost mix of offshore wind and solar at about €46 ($54.20)/MWh in a future climate-neutral energy system for Denmark. Researchers tell pv magazine that figure is less than half the equivalent cost of nuclear under the same conditions.

Emergency Restoration Systems, often referred to as ERS, are gaining importance as a critical part of grid management. These systems are designed to restore transmission lines rapidly after failures caused by natural disasters, technical faults, or external damage. While traditional restoration methods can take days or even weeks, ERS offers a faster and more flexible alternative, helping utilities bring power back online in a much shorter time.

The Competition Commission of India has closed the matter involving Adani Enterprises Ltd, Adani Green Energy Ltd, Azure Power India, and the Solar Energy Corp. of India, finding no prima facie case of anti-competitive conduct in the award of capacity under a manufacturing-linked solar tender floated by SECI in 2019.
