Utility Scale PV

GlobalData projects Spain’s renewables to reach 218.1 GW by 2035, while solar will drive growth with 152.8 GW of capacity.

India has an estimated 3,343 GWp of deployable ground-mounted solar PV potential (DC capacity), significantly higher than the 2014 total estimate of approximately 748.98 GWp, according to a new comprehensive study by the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE). This updated figure is based on an analysis of 27,571 km² of technically feasible land — about 6.69% of the country’s total identified wasteland area (412,458.37 km²).

Vsole Solar Energy has inaugurated its fully integrated in-house solar inverter manufacturing facility with a capacity to produce more than 20,000 inverters every month.

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) will develop a project combining solar, wind and battery storage components to ensure 80 MW firm and dispatchable renewable power supply during peak demand hours.

Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has achieved a total operational renewable energy generation capacity of 16,679.80 MW with the recent commissioning of solar, wind, and hybrid projects at Khavda, Gujarat.

The Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has issued a tender inviting bids for the development of 1.2 GW of renewable energy (RE) projects coupled with energy storage systems (ESS) to ensure an assured peak power supply of 4.8 GWh (1,200 MW x 4 hours) daily. The projects will be developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis.

The installation of almost 500,000 solar panels at Victorian solar farm will be completed this week, thanks in part to a collaboration with US robotics company Luminous, which has trialled its autonomous fleet at the site, during the construction phase.

The International Energy Agency’s Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA-PVPS) says dust, pollution, and debris on solar panels reduce output by 4% to 7% worldwide, costing the industry billions of euros annually and making tailored mitigation increasingly urgent.

ICRA Ltd has assigned ‘AA-’ credit rating with ‘Stable’ outlook on ACME Solar Holdings’ long-term non-fund based bank facilities. The rating reflects ACME Solar’s diversified portfolio across multiple locations and offtakers (primarily central), revenue visibility from long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), optimal generation performance and comfortable debt coverage metrics.

India installed 17.5 GW of solar and 2.6 GW of wind power capacity in the first five months of FY2026 (April–August 2025), according to a new report by ICRA.
