Opinion & Analysis

India is moving decisively beyond capacity addition toward system-level maturity. Expanded transmission planning, a more diversified energy mix and better regulatory clarity signal a market design that is becoming ever more dynamic and future ready.

By combining proven global practices with solutions designed for Indian conditions, offering choices for different customer needs, and continuing to invest in meaningful innovation, India can build a solar ecosystem that is resilient and inclusive.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that the global peak of solar output in 2025 occurred on April 29, at 06:00 UTC, estimated at 539 GW.

India’s battery storage landscape is undergoing a decisive transformation in 2025. Across utilities, regulators, and developers, BESS has moved beyond early-stage exploration and is increasingly recognized as an essential component for grid stability, renewable integration, and long-term energy planning.

Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are no longer behind in the solar journey, they are becoming the main growth drivers. With better government support, easier net-metering rules, and more awareness about savings, people in smaller cities are now ready for rooftop solar in a big way.

Market pressure in the solar and storage sectors often favors low-cost solutions, but long-term success depends on balancing price, quality, and reliability for assets designed to operate for decades. Numerous examples, from low-grade silicon modules to residential hydrogen and redox flow storage, show how technically ambitious products can fail when costs, complexity, or durability are misjudged.

The IUCN’s updated Global Standard, growing debate on finance, and stronger emphasis on rights and monitoring mark a transition from hopeful experimentation to disciplined scaling. If the next year invests in credibility and the scaffolding that turns pilots into pipelines, Nature-based Solutions could finally become a practical pillar of climate, biodiversity and development strategies worldwide.

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.

The EPC organisations that choose to lead across both the energy transition and digital infrastructure will not simply respond to the coming decades of change, they will shape them.

Every new 5G deployment, data centre expansion, or broadband rollout depends on power and cooling architectures that operate quietly in the background, ensuring continuity, efficiency, and resilience.
