Chinese companies with Southeast Asian production lines have taken advantage of the production costs and trade restrictions that make U.S. panels more costly. However, shifting trade disputes are putting price advantages under the spotlight, writes InfoLink analyst Jonathan Chou.
For renewable energy developers, finding a site in Texas can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack due to grid constraints, environmental concerns, and other factors. Help is now available, as Sultan Ennab, of Electric Power Engineers (EPE), explains, with reference to the Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid.
One solution is to aggregate distributed energy resources with energy management systems and energy storage, into virtual power plants, which are proving their worth as key players in increasing grid capacity and balancing the grid.

What happens to a solar PV module after its expected 25-year operational life?
While we watch the spectacle of the 2024 elections unfold, it is wise to consider the implications of a repeal or rollback of the IRA.
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.
Advances that increase operational efficiencies, reduce installation time and accelerate project completion will drive progress.
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 solar energy industry continues to innovate, striving to improve the efficiency and reliability of photovoltaic systems. One of the most promising advancements is the development of bifacial modules combined with tracking systems. These technologies aim to capture more sunlight and convert it into electricity, making solar energy more effective and affordable. IEA PVPS Task 13 is at the forefront of this innovation, working to enhance the performance and reliability of PV systems. This article explores the concept of bifacial tracking, its advantages, challenges, market developments, and the significant contributions of IEA PVPS Task 13.
