A democratically organized nonprofit is giving a seat at the clean energy table to 36 communities in Western Fresno County.

Solar represented 75% of grid capacity additions in the first half, followed distantly by wind and natural gas, said new data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

A marketplace report on the first half of 2025 reveals that median loan rates for residential solar projects climbed to 7.5%, with 38% of surveyed contractors saying loan demand decreased.

On-site storage paired with hydrogen and solar could unlock reliability and scalability for next-gen data centers.

Energy storage can be the final push a utility needs to accept a new large load application.

New solar panels, battery energy storage systems, factory announcements and more are set to be unveiled at RE+ Las Vegas, Nevada, Sep 8-11.

As tariffs push copper costs higher, one startup thinks additive manufacturing could free batteries from the metal altogether.

The company opened a 95,000 square foot facility that is expected to create 100 jobs in Houston, adding to its existing footprint in the area.

The company will display a 435 W N-type solar panel for residential projects, among other products, at the RE+ trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The company is building an N-type cell fab in Greenville, North Carolina, complementing its active 2 GW module factory.

Gov. Newsom pushed off making a decision over the fate of a program to prevent California’s blackouts and lower costs, but now his time to make a decision is running out — and so is the program’s funding.

The Pioneer Na will be available globally from mid-October, 2025.

State law firm Fox, Swibel, Levin & Carroll petitioned Illinois to reopen its solar incentive programs to account for federal actions that could slow the state’s legally required clean energy deployments.

The company introduced a 4.8 MW modular inverter, a utility-scale battery energy storage system and a commercial and industrial scale battery energy storage system at the RE+ trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Nextracker has acquired U.S. steel solar frame maker Origami Solar for $53 million, expanding into panel frame production to accelerate installations, support local supply chains and improve system durability.

A new test curve for determining solar panels’ breaking point from hail uses a broader spectrum of impact energies and testing products.

Canadian and U.S. researchers have investigated applying pressure to a 2D hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite to tune the optical and electronic properties to suit photovoltaic applications, light emitting diodes or other semiconductor devices.

A team of scientists at Georgia Southern University has combined both spatial and temporal attention mechanisms to develop a new approach for PV inverter fault detection. Training the new method on a dataset created in MATLAB/Simulink, the group has compared it to a series of other data-driven and statistical-based methods and has found accuracy reached 97.35%.

Local energy initiatives have increased at the local level, but researchers say more focus on addressing spatial planning and economic benefits is needed in the renewable energy transition.

Interconnection agreements grew 33% year-over-year in 2024 and are sustaining momentum through 2025, said Wood Mackenzie.
