Waaree Energies breaks ground on 10 GW integrated solar ingot and wafer manufacturing facility in Maharashtra
Waaree Energies Ltd has begun construction of an integrated solar ingot and wafer manufacturing facility in Butibori, Nagpur. The facility will have an annual production capacity of 10 GW each for solar ingots and wafers, making it India’s largest integrated ingot and wafer manufacturing complex.
Japanese researchers achieve world record efficiency of 12.28% for copper gallium selenide solar cell
Researchers in Japan have achieved a 12.28% efficiency in a copper gallium selenide solar cell, the highest reported for indium-free wide-bandgap chalcogenide absorbers in the 1.65–1.75 eV range. The device uses aluminum-engineered films with a back-surface field and optimized cadmium sulfide buffer layers to enhance voltage, reduce recombination, and improve overall performance.
Global solar capacity to reach 6 TW by 2031, says GlobalData
GlobalData says global renewable capacity will more than double to 8.4 TW by 2031, with PV reaching nearly 6 TW, a 13% compound annual growth rate from 2025 levels of 4.1 TW.
Advait Greenergy opens 30 MW alkaline electrolyser assembly facility in Gujarat
The facility is designed as a scalable platform, with a roadmap to expand from 30 MW to 100 MW by the end of 2026, 300 MW by 2027, and ultimately 1 GW of annual manufacturing capacity.
Why Gujarat continues to attract large-scale renewable energy investment
As India’s clean energy ambitions scale, investment will increasingly follow regions that can deliver outcomes, not just intent. Gujarat’s experience suggests that long-term renewable growth depends as much on institutional preparedness and grid integration as it does on natural resources.
China polysilicon prices fall over 13% year-to-date as below-cost selling persists
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.
From 132kV to 765kV: How higher voltage levels are redefining grid efficiency
Ultra high voltage transmission corridors, including 765kV networks, are increasingly becoming the backbone of this energy transition. These corridors enable bulk power transfer across long distances while maintaining system availability. By consolidating large volumes of electricity onto fewer transmission lines, they also reduce the need for extensive land acquisition and infrastructure duplication, which are often major constraints in transmission expansion.
Saatvik Green sets up energy storage subsidiary
Saatvik Green Energy has incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Saatvik Power Storage Solutions. The newly formed entity will focus on the development and deployment of battery energy storage systems for utility-scale, commercial & industrial, residential and distributed renewable energy applications.
New simulation platform lets energy operators train against realistic cyberattacks
Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer FKIE institute developed PowerRange, a virtual simulation platform that helps power grid operators safely test cybersecurity measures and respond to realistic cyberattacks. The platform supports both traditional and renewable grids, offering immersive training across IT, OT, and control systems while highlighting the importance of coordination, communication, and practical defense strategies.
