No evidence of PFAS leaching from solar panels, study finds
Researchers in the United States reviewed claims about PFAS in solar panels and found that while fluoropolymers may be used in limited components like backsheets or coatings, there is no confirmed evidence of PFAS leaching from commercially deployed modules. The study highlights widespread confusion between different PFAS types and emphasizes the need for clearer communication and transparency around fluoropolymer use in PV technologies.
Ratul Puri-led Hindustan Power secures 150 MWp solar project in Punjab
Hindustan Power, an integrated energy company in India, has secured a 100 MW AC solar power project from Punjab State Power Corp. Ltd. The project, to be developed in Punjab, will require installation of around 140–150 MWp of solar capacity.
From awareness to action: How communities are driving and benefiting from clean energy jobs
The communities that engage earliest with the clean energy transition benefit most deeply from it. But community engagement does not happen automatically. It requires deliberate investment in workforce development, accessible training, and policies that channel economic benefit back to the localities where energy is generated.
The world added 605 GW of new PV capacity in 2025, says IEA
Latest report from the International Energy Agency says last year’s 600 TWh increase in solar PV was the largest-ever electricity generation increase by any source in one year, outside of periods of post-crisis recovery.
