Why semiconductors in the solar sector require mainstream attention
As the energy-generating capacity scales up, it becomes critical to integrate intelligent embedded control and connectivity solutions. With a concerted effort to utilize the advances in power electronics and connectivity solutions, it is possible to achieve self-reliant, environmentally friendly, and efficient energy systems that can power a nation.
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.
Net zero vs net extraction: Are we just shifting the environmental burden?
Burden shifting refers to reducing environmental impact of one category causing increase in another; or reducing harm in one geography while concentrating it in another. On both dimensions, the evidence of burden shifting of the lithium-ion supply chain is evident and should not be ignored.
The rise of green hydrogen-as-a-service: How AI digital twins are powering the net-zero future
As green hydrogen scales from pilot projects to industrial supply chains, the organizations that pair AI-powered digital twins with green hydrogen-as-a-service (GHaaS) commercial structures will be best positioned to deliver clean hydrogen at competitive cost and speed.
China polysilicon hits cost floor as producers curb output amid weak demand
In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.
Restoring power faster: The growing role of emergency restoration systems in modern grids
Emergency Restoration Systems, often referred to as ERS, are gaining importance as a critical part of grid management. These systems are designed to restore transmission lines rapidly after failures caused by natural disasters, technical faults, or external damage. While traditional restoration methods can take days or even weeks, ERS offers a faster and more flexible alternative, helping utilities bring power back online in a much shorter time.
PV module prices continue to rise unabated
Photovoltaic module prices have risen for the fourth consecutive month, driven by strong demand for energy independence despite falling upstream costs such as polysilicon. At the same time, production cuts in China and tighter supply conditions are limiting availability, reinforcing price increases across all technologies.
From LPG uncertainty to energy resilience: Why Indian industry is turning to cleaner, more dependable fuel systems
India’s industrial sector is entering a pivotal phase in its energy transition. What was once a routine fuel procurement decision is now becoming a strategic imperative. Rising LPG costs, supply unpredictability, and increasing operational risks are prompting businesses to rethink how they power their operations — not just for efficiency, but for resilience.
Why solar energy is moving from an operational expense to a strategic priority in corporate boardrooms
Businesses today are dealing with constant uncertainty—whether it’s rising power tariffs, fuel price volatility, or supply constraints. Solar brings a level of stability that is hard to achieve otherwise.
The rise of innovative financing models is powering India’s solar expansion
The growing availability of financing options has had a visible impact on solar adoption. States with well-developed financing ecosystems and supportive policies have recorded significantly higher growth in rooftop installations. In some regions, adoption rates have increased multiple times within a short period.
