The company says it will provide dedicated solutions to commercial, industrial, and community solar projects nationwide..

The collaboration will integrate Leap’s distributed energy platform with EG4’s hardware ecosystem, which the companies say will allow homeowners to monetize their energy storage systems through automated grid services while maintaining backup reliability.

Ryan Mayfield led an informative discussion on the history of the NEC PV Hazard Control System rules and the latest changes to the UL 3741 standard.

The Great Bend Solar project now delivers power to the PJM grid. Construction began in May 2024.

Fluence is supplying its Gridstack Pro BESS for a Yuma, Arizona project.

A York County circuit court judge has dismissed a resident-led lawsuit seeking to halt construction of Silfab’s PV module assembly plant, ruling that the plaintiff lacked standing and failed to exhaust administrative remedies.

Elon Musk targets 100 GW of annual solar manufacturing for both Tesla and SpaceX within three years to solve the energy bottleneck threatening the AI revolution.

The federal patent office rejected separate challenges from JinkoSolar, Canadian Solar and Mundra Solar to invalidate intellectual property that First Solar claims is fundamental to the manufacturing of crystalline silicon solar cells.

Heliene CEO Martin Pochtaruk explains how strategic R&D and “FEOC-free” sourcing are essential for navigating 2026’s evolving domestic content requirements and trade barriers.

The partnership with PotisEdge and LONGi marks NeoVolta’s first move into domestic manufacturing.

A report from Wood Mackenzie identifies five key trends that will define the energy storage industry in 2026, including supply chain restructuring and the rise of non-lithium batteries.

Jackery continues to expand its product range beyond storage with a new 2 kW solar gazebo designed for creating outdoor space, starting with U.S. availability in 2026.

Pacifico’s Kevin Pratt says projects like the GW Ranch 7 GW microgrid point to where energy development is heading.

Moskowitz succeeds former chair Darren Van’t Hof, who had assumed role as interim President and CEO; RWE’s Ingmar Ritzenhofen named vice chair.

Contractors can now export solar panel placements from drone models into racking design software to automate bills of materials.

An international research team has developed a new two-dimensional perovskite interlayer based on a co-crystal engineering strategy for more robust perovskite films. It demonstrated improved performance in small area perovskite solar cells and, in a 48 cm2 module, contributed to retain 95% of initial efficiency after 5,000 h.

Company also seeks terrestrial applications for its lightweight, flexible modules.

Power control and energy management systems (PCS and EMS) are powerful tools that will enable the next generation of electrical systems, and the way they are featured in the 2026 NEC is a testament to the ways they can unlock the capability of distributed energy systems and more fully utilize the capacity of electrical infrastructure.

The Kauaʻi Island Utility Cooperative in Hawaii, which deployed storage before grid-forming inverters became available, became a test case for diagnosing grid issues that can arise with older grid-following inverters, and how grid-forming inverters can stabilize a grid.

A new Perspectives research study on the future of the global PV supply chain outlines how module prices, performance, and lifetimes could evolve over the next 25 years. The work reflects a collaboration among leading solar research institutions worldwide. One of the study’s authors, the director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), told pv magazine that solar module and cell efficiencies could exceed 35% by 2050, with panel prices expected to drop by a factor of two.
