How to build trust in peer-to-peer electricity trading with blockchain in solar energy space
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.
Who are the Top 100 PV manufacturers today?
The Terawatt PV 100 ranks the top 100 solar manufacturing companies using a new methodology based on production scale, financial strength, and corporate transparency, with Tongwei leading the Q1 2026 list and most top firms headquartered in China. The analysis highlights increasing global supply-chain scrutiny driven by tariffs and ESG mandates, while also showing rising influence from Indian companies and strong positions for key materials and equipment suppliers.
Solar 2.0: India’s solar revolution moves beyond gigawatts
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.
When battery imbalance turns 11% of capacity into stranded energy
A 350 MWh battery storage system in Europe is delivering significantly less energy than expected due to cell imbalance, with the battery management system failing to detect the issue, tradable energy volumes chronically overestimated, and weekly balancing cost exposure reaching up to €110,000 ($127,745). This is one of the real-world failure scenarios to be examined at the Battery Business & Development Forum on April 1.
India added 547 MWh of battery energy storage capacity in 2025, says Mercom
With this, the nation’s cumulative installed battery energy storage capacity crosses 1 GWh.
How AI can transform India’s energy ecosystem
By applying advanced machine learning and data analytics, AI can improve energy efficiency, strengthen grid resilience, and enable more intelligent and effective resource utilisation. Strategies for energy efficiency and innovations in smart grids powered by AI could generate up to $1.3 trillion in economic value by 2030.
