Jakson Green has emerged as the successful bidder in Solar Energy Corp. of India’s (SECI) 6th green ammonia auction, securing a capacity of 85,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) at a record-low price of INR 50.75 per kg.

Researchers in South Korea have demonstrated a lower temperature process for bifacial copper, indium, selenium (CuInSe₂) solar cells with a rear-side efficiency of 8.44% and 15.30% on the front. The device has been developed for applications in tandem solar cells.

Start-ups developing technologies in fields such as solar energy, green hydrogen, energy storage, distributed renewable energy, small hydro, wind, smart grids, and clean mobility will be supported in the development and commercialization of their innovations.

As global investors, consumers, and regulators demand deeper climate accountability, India’s position as a manufacturing and export hub will increasingly hinge on how credibly its businesses can measure and manage emissions. That credibility will come not from declarations, but from data.

The true breakthrough is when smart grids connect with solar power together. That connection opens up a lot of possibilities. Smart grids will tell us what a solar energy system can produce by predicting the weather and adjusting the transfer of electricity in real time.

It’s no secret that prices throughout the solar supply chain have been at rock bottom over the past 18 months. Alex Barrows and Molly Morgan of CRU Group explore how the market reached the imbalance that caused PV prices to crash, what this has meant for innovation, and how it might affect future technology transitions.

Solar Energy Corp of India (SECI) has discovered a new record-low green ammonia price of INR 51.8 per kg (around $591.25 per metric tonne) in its latest auction. The winning bid was placed by NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd.

Independent power producers have captured a significant share of India’s clean energy capital, with projects often backed by substantial financing from institutions like the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA). Additionally, these have the ability to raise money in a cautious global market because of their capacity to lock up bankable power purchase agreements (PPAs), which provides financial predictability.

Perovskite’s growing visibility at industry events in 2025 is a sign that perovskites have progressed beyond the small lab-made devices seen earlier this decade. The focus is now on developing materials, processes, and a supply chain ready for large-scale manufacturing and deployment.

integrating variable renewable energy sources into conventional power systems requires a delicate balance of technology, operational excellence, and regulatory compliance. While AI and ML have become indispensable tools in the modern energy toolkit, they are most effective when paired with on-ground human insight and proactive asset management.
