Residential PV

Indian clean-tech startup Greenvize has launched a compact hydrogen-based cooking system designed for residential and commercial kitchens. The system integrates a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser directly into a cooking unit, enabling on-site hydrogen generation from water without the need for storage or distribution infrastructure.

Indian economy size is likely to surpass $5 trillion by 2030, driven by manufacturing expansion, infrastructure development, and strong economic reforms. However, sustaining that growth requires not just clean energy but also one that is predictable, uninterrupted and dispatchable.

Achieving a system cost of $0.65/W through the secondary market and do-it-yourself assembly demonstrates a viable pathway for US plug-in solar to provide immediate utility bill relief to renters and apartment dwellers.

Global solar PV continues its rapid growth, reaching around 650 GW in 2025, with record solar irradiation extremes across regions such as East Asia, India, and Latin America. With current production capacity and emerging technologies like perovskite-silicon tandem modules, PV is poised to surpass all other electricity generation technologies combined by the end of the decade.

Trust, more than technology or economics, is the real bottleneck in scaling peer-to-peer (P2P) electricity trading. And increasingly, blockchain is being positioned not as a buzzword, but as a structural solution to this problem.

India’s first solar decade was about speed and volume. The next will be about intelligence and performance. High-efficiency modules, bifacial panels, agrivoltaic systems, advanced power electronics, and integrated battery storage are no longer emerging technologies — they are the infrastructure of Solar 2.0.

Saudi Arabia had a record year for solar deployment last year, taking cumulative capacity past 12.4 GW. GlobalData is forecasting annual deployments to increase in the coming years but notes that they remain behind the pace required to meet the country’s target of 130 GW of renewables by 2030, instead nearing the goal by 2035.

The Nexis solution combines a flexibly configurable hybrid inverter with a modular high-voltage battery offering up to 14 kW charging capacity per stack. The inverter delivers 8–20 kW AC power, supports up to 200% DC oversizing, and features IP65-rated design with integrated backup power.

Uttar Pradesh has now surpassed 5 GW of installed solar capacity, marking an impressive increase of 1,150% from 400 MW in 2017.

Analysis from GlobalData finds the UAE’s cumulative solar capacity increased from 5.7 GW to around 6.7 GW last year. The country’s annual solar deployments are forecast to increase in the coming years, with 20 GW of installed solar expected by the end of the decade.
