Cleantech Solar says it plans to develop 150 MW of solar and 16.8 MW of wind in India, supplying around 7.3 GWh of clean electricity to First Solar’s new 3.3 GW vertically integrated solar factory in the state of Tamil Nadu. The solar component of the project will use First Solar’s India-made Series 7 modules.

California-based Staar Surgical will reduce operational costs and avoid spoiled production with an on-site solar microgrid.

The number of PV installations around the world grew by an annual average of 28% between 2019 and 2023, including a 56% jump from 2022 to 2023, according to Wood Mackenzie. Growth is not expected from 2024 to 2028, however.

Also on the rise: All I want for Christmas is one terawatt of solar deployed annually. 75% of California solar companies are high risk, more bankruptcy on the way. And more.

As the world grapples with the escalating impacts of climate change, our hopes rely on the innovation and implementation of technical solutions, particularly solar, as we scale toward annual deployments of 1 terawatt and beyond.

The 9.9 MW commercial solar project acquired from EDF Renewables North America expands the Standard Solar portfolio to 23 states.

Also on the rise: ASICS doubles the solar on Mississippi distribution center. The states of Nevada and Arkansas stand center stage in the development of lithium projects. And more.

The additional 1 MW of solar is projected to provide $100,000 in energy savings in the first year, with the environmental benefits of the combined systems estimated to offset the electricity of around 290 households annually.

The clean energy upgrade at the R.A. Jones facility in Covington will be complete with over 3,000 solar modules and six electric vehicle charging stations.

Historically low module prices are expected to propel the global solar industry to record installations in 2023.
