Chinese solar cell prices stable in a quiet market

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.

Reaching U.S. solar energy goals will require innovation  

Advances that increase operational efficiencies, reduce installation time and accelerate project completion will drive progress.

How protectionism could undermine the revival of U.S. solar manufacturing

If we cut off a significant portion of our module supply, we risk again making a short-sighted policy decision that will erode the U.S. solar industry and slow our progress toward meeting our climate commitments.

The utility perspective on equitable ratemaking

The second in a two-part series that looks at load growth as a result of the increasing electrical load growth by data centers and considers how low-income customers are protected.

With load growth and fear of rising utility bills, are low-income customers protected?

Although many states and utilities offer low-income assistance programs, what are the states with the most considerable data center growth already doing, and are they prepared for what’s to come?

We must onshore the supply chain

With the introduction of the American Tax Dollars for American Solar Manufacturing Act earlier this month, senators are trying to close this work-around and put American manufacturing back on a level playing field.
