The new role of solar EPCs: From project installers to long-term energy partners

An EPC partner that gets the engineering right but is slow to respond when something breaks still loses the customer’s confidence. Faster service response and performance guarantees tied to plant availability are increasingly being described by industry voices as where the sector is headed next.

The case for vertical BIPV

A major IEA PVPS Task 15 study finds that vertical BIPV façades can complement rooftop solar with minimal yield penalties, smoothing generation across the day while offering greater design flexibility. Across 357 configurations in 44 cities, the research also shows BIPV economics improve substantially when avoided building-material costs are counted, with long-term viability shaped by electricity prices, financing, installation costs, and application type.

Beyond the battery: Building India’s electronics backbone for the energy transition

The energy-storage value chain should not be viewed only through the lens of battery chemistry and gigawatt-hours. There is a parallel value chain developing around the battery, covering design, PCBA, embedded controls, power electronics, sensing, communication, testing and system integration.

Weaker monsoon lifts irradiance in western India as August storms dim the east

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that northwestern and southern India and Pakistan recorded above-average solar irradiance during the 2026 summer monsoon, benefiting major PV-producing regions, while tropical depressions drove irradiance sharply below average across eastern and central India. Favorable solar conditions helped support Indian PV generation and electricity exports to Nepal after late-August floods damaged hydropower plants and other energy infrastructure there.
