Many homeowners assume leased or loaned solar systems will boost their home’s value, but outstanding loans often drag down equity instead.

India installed 18 GW of solar power capacity in the first five months of FY 2026 and is on track to add over 45 GW during the fiscal year, according to a new report by SBICAPS.

Carbon as collateral represents a practical financial innovation that can influence the pace of sustainable adoption in India. It assigns clear monetary value to environmental benefit and integrates this into consumer lending models. With appropriate regulatory backing and reliable accounting systems, the idea holds potential to expand credit availability, reduce cost barriers and support national climate commitments while creating long term economic opportunities.

ACME Solar Holdings Ltd has secured domestic funding of INR 1,100 crore from the State Bank of India (SBI) to refinance its 300 MW renewable energy project in Rajasthan.

The two parties have signed a joint investment framework agreement to develop, construct and operate 1.5 GW worth of solar-plus-storage projects in Malaysia over the next three to five years.

At their core, smart meters are data engines. They provide utilities with visibility into how, when and where electricity is consumed. That granular knowledge allows grid operators to forecast demand more accurately, balance loads and absorb greater volumes of variable solar generation. Without it, the grid risks becoming brittle, prone to blackouts when clouds pass over solar farms or demand surges unexpectedly.

The stackable battery ranges 4.9 kWh to 19.6 kWh per unit while the inverter is available in ranges from 3.8 kW to 13 kW. The company also introduced a meter socket adapter to avoid triggering costly main panel upgrades.

Larsen & Toubro has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ACWA Power for engineering, procurement and construction of the renewables and grid infrastructure at the Yanbu Green Ammonia Project in Saudi Arabia.

Sunsure Energy has commissioned an 82.5 MWp open access solar power plant in Erach village of Jhansi district in Uttar Pradesh. This latest addition cements its position as a key renewable energy player in the state, with around 300 MW of cumulative operational capacity.

With U.S. domestic steel mills booked solid through 2025, a sudden doubling of tariffs on imported steel has created a critical bottleneck for American industries. The move, which hits specialized Indian steel particularly hard, is now delaying projects for builders and renewable energy developers who rely on steady, affordable supply.
