E-trucks: Unlocking the next frontier in India’s logistics transformation
As battery costs decline, charging networks mature, and financing models improve, e-trucks can move deeper into mainstream freight. India’s logistics transformation is no longer only about moving goods faster. It is about moving them with lower emissions, stronger energy security and better lifecycle economics.
China TOPCon module prices hold steady as supplier price gap widens
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.
Solar approaches 3 TW, but the industry faces new challenges
Global solar PV capacity reached around 2,974 GW by end-2025, with nearly 698 GW added in 2025. The sector, however, is shifting from rapid deployment to integration challenges, as high penetration rates drive curtailment, storage demand, grid constraints, and evolving policy and market designs.
Can India’s steel pipe industry lead the global hydrogen infrastructure build-out?
One of the biggest constraints in the hydrogen economy today is the lack of transport infrastructure. Moving hydrogen remains expensive and logistically complex without pipelines.
Hybrid energy systems: Combining solar, wind & storage for maximum efficiency
Hybrid energy systems are set to play a crucial role in shaping the future of energy infrastructure. With advancements in smart grid technologies, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics, these systems will become even more efficient and adaptive. They offer a scalable and sustainable solution to meet rising energy demands while reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy security.
How distributed energy resources can help India meet its 2030 clean energy targets faster
Distributed energy resources, rooftop solar, C&I open-access systems, behind-the-meter storage, solar agricultural pumps, microgrids, share one decisive advantage: deployment speed. And speed is not the only advantage. Power consumed where it is generated avoids the 15-22% aggregate technical and commercial losses in India’s distribution networks.
The hidden engine: Why testing infrastructure is the real bottleneck in India’s green energy race
India’s 500 GW renewable energy target by 2030 dominates every policy conversation. Capacity additions, auction pipelines, transmission corridors; these are the metrics that make headlines. But there is a quieter, less glamorous constraint that could undermine all of it: the country’s under-investment in testing and certification infrastructure for clean energy equipment.
China TOPCon solar cell prices stabilize as holiday lull slows trading
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.
Resisting rust in solar
Over a 30-year asset life, corrosion can evolve into a structural, electrical, and fire safety issue. Corrosion drives up operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, reduces resilience to extreme events, and in some cases, can force premature decommissioning or complete structural replacement Intertek CEA’s Nicholas Hudson and Ankil Sanghvi advise on best practices.
Europe’s solar and storage development: Selectivity amid rising global supply and returning energy shocks
Escalating Middle East tensions and global energy supply risks are accelerating Europe’s shift toward solar and storage, particularly in commercial, industrial, and utility-scale segments where energy security, resilience, and price stability are becoming central investment drivers. At the same time, expanding manufacturing capacity in China and India is redirecting surplus solar and storage supply toward Europe, creating a highly competitive and increasingly selective market where long-term success depends on quality, reliability, ESG alignment, and strategic market positioning.
