Residential PV

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.

NTPC Ltd has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UK-based Octopus Energy Group to explore collaboration opportunities in advancing clean energy, digital utilities, and customer-centric power solutions across India, the United Kingdom, and other mutually agreed geographies.

Marstek has unveiled a plug-in storage system with a two-kilowatt-hour capacity. The device plugs into a standard household socket and is designed to store solar power from balcony systems or draw in cheap electricity from dynamic pricing tariffs.

GlobalData says global renewable capacity will more than double to 8.4 TW by 2031, with PV reaching nearly 6 TW, a 13% compound annual growth rate from 2025 levels of 4.1 TW.

The new prototype ranks among the most advanced sodium‑ion battery systems reported worldwide.

In its second monthly column for pv magazine, the Becquerel Institute explains that Europe has vast commercial and industrial rooftops suitable for solar, but decades-old structural limits block conventional PV panels, creating an 85 GW untapped potential. Lightweight PV modules, commercially available and up to 50% lighter, can unlock this constrained market, meeting regulatory, economic, and technical needs for solar deployment across the continent.

Energy requirements evolve over time, and solar systems must be designed with adaptability in mind. Design-led innovation supports scalability through modular architectures that allow systems to expand or integrate complementary technologies such as energy storage.

Noida-based Involtics has launched the GTSI series of single-phase hybrid inverters (3 kW/3.6 kW/5 kW/6 kW) for residential solar applications. The inverters work seamlessly with solar panels, batteries (lead-acid and lithium-ion), and the grid to deliver continuous power for household loads.
