The agreement aims to bypass terrestrial grid constraints by beaming near-infared light from space to terrestrial solar plants to power high-density AI workloads.

Maryland-based developer Chaberton Energy has issued two requests for proposals (RFPs) seeking agricultural partners to co-locate farming operations with two new community solar projects in Montgomery County.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued preliminary anti-dumping determinations for three key solar-exporting nations, establishing duties of up to 123% on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and modules.

Human activities in space have been solar powered for more than 70 years. Now, as the space industry accelerates, new opportunities are emerging for specialized solar manufacturers, writes Jake Veloza of Eternal Sun Wavelabs. The extreme and unforgiving conditions of space demand a high level of performance and durability, and accurate testing methods will be needed to get these new solutions off the ground.

The Florida-based utility and energy infrastructure giant posted a 10% year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings, supported by a massive quarter for project origination and continued solar expansion in its regulated utility segment.

In 2025, solar and wind dominated global energy growth, delivering around six times more new capacity than all other power sources combined and supplying nearly all new electricity demand. With rapid expansion led by countries like Australia and several European nations, solar and wind are now the fastest-growing and central drivers of the global energy transition.

As of April 1, 2026, the enforcement of NERC Reliability Standard CIP-003-9 mandates that renewable energy operators transition from informal vendor management to a rigorous, evidence-based cybersecurity framework for all low-impact assets.

The Fronius Essential Backup Load Unit is a microgrid interconnect device that integrates with a hybrid inverter and battery system to automatically isolate and power critical household circuits during a utility grid outage.

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against a Department of the Interior policy that required Trump-appointed Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum’s approval for all renewable energy projects on public lands, effectively stalling tens of gigawatts of capacity.

In the United States, commercial solar and energy storage projects offer plenty of opportunity, but developers must navigate supply chain bifurcation, shifting fire codes, and the end of the tax equity era to bring commercial projects online in 2026. pv magazine USA’s Ryan Kennedy moderated a panel discussion on the topic at Intersolar & Energy Storage North America in San Diego and shares these key takeaways.
