The next infrastructure bottleneck is not investment. It is execution
The infrastructure cycle ahead will ultimately be defined by more than the capital deployed. For data centres, it is about creating resilient digital capacity; for renewable energy, connecting generation effectively to the grid; for BESS, converting awarded capacity into dependable storage; and for green hydrogen, integrating multiple technologies into commercially viable projects.

Reliability risks emerge across BIPV, floating PV and agrivoltaics
A new IEA PVPS Task 13 report identifies distinct reliability risks across BIPV, floating PV and agrivoltaics, from heat and partial shading to wave loads, ammonia exposure and soiling. It argues that existing PV qualification standards do not fully capture these application-specific stresses, requiring adapted testing, design practices and performance metrics.

Can India’s solar farms become living laboratories for clean-tech innovation?
Indian startups and university laboratories develop promising clean-energy technologies, but stall before reaching commercial adoption because they cannot produce multi-year, multi-megawatt operational data from active field sites. India can resolve this impasse by treating solar plants not merely as generation assets, but as living testbeds for clean-tech engineering.
