Storage deployment grew across all segments and is forecast to grow another 25% in 2025, according to Wood Mackenzie.

The project completes the trio of Chick-fil-As piloting the solar-powered microgrids.

Deutsche Bank and Nuveen Energy Infrastructure Credit partnered on upsizing the credit facility to support a 3.5 GW community solar pipeline in thirteen states.

Two projects are expected to generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 270,000 homes and created an estimated 950 construction jobs.

Partnering with Amalgamated Bank, the independent power producer plans to develop a total of 25.5 MW in three counties in northwest New York state.

Origami Solar will supply its steel module frames to Sirius PV’s module manufacturing facility with 2 GW annual output.

The British Columbia-based startup creates custom BESS using retired modules from Nissan and Mercedes-Benz and is gearing to launch large-scale manufacturing.

To make it easier to adopt building integrated PV (BIPV) as a glazing material, a group within the IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA-PVPS) has tackled the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) calculation for BIPV. It is part of IEA PVPS Task 15 international standardization efforts.

Corning, Suniva and Heliene combine strengths to produce what will be the first solar module with polysilicon, wafers and cells made in the United States.

As industry players are nervously watching the administration’s decision to temporarily freeze and review several provisions within the Inflation Reduction Act, the Solar Energy Manufacturers of America Coalition spells out its priorities.

The California-based community choice aggregator is looking for power purchase agreements with new or existing clean energy and storage projects in CAISO territory.

Many of the largest clean energy developers and investors in the U.S. would likely increase their activity in the U.S. clean energy sector as long as no changes were made to energy tax credits, according to study by American Council on Renewable Energy.

Nonprofit recipients of $14 billion in federal grants and loans will keep up court fight in hopes of winning release of approved grants for solar and other clean-energy projects nationwide.

The Sierra Club and four other public interest organizations say that jumping the interconnection queue offers no guarantee of these resources coming online in time to meet what PJM describes as an urgent need.

Job moves in solar, storage, cleantech, utilities and energy transition finance, plus the job opening of the week.

BloombergNEF reports that the world installed nearly 600 gigawatts of solar power in 2024, closely aligning with projections that annual global solar installations will surpass 1 terawatt within the next few years. Although projections for 2025 currently fall short of that pace, early forecasts often underestimate actual deployment.

New research from Stanford University has investigated the performance limits of transition metal dichalcogenide solar cells for indoor energy harvesting intended for powering internet of things (IoT) devices and sensors. The analysis showed these cells may reach a power conversion efficiency of up to 36.5%.

“A wide array of resources is needed” to meet growing electricity demand, including hundreds of gigawatts of solar and wind capacity that can be deployed quickly but would be reduced by half without tax credits, says a report prepared for ConservAmerica.

The 350Squared plug-and-play power bank requires no trenching and includes AI-powered forecasting with a bi-directional electricity meter, and two ultra-fast charging ports.

Distributed solar fell 11% in 2024, dragged down by the residential segment, according to Ohm Analytics’s Q4-2024 report. However, signs of recovery emerged with a strong fourth quarter and increasing installation volumes throughout the year.
