Many GW of aging U.S. solar installations will require electrical upgrades in the coming years, and smart owners will turn to repowering and cable rejuvenation as cost-effective ways to extend the lifespan of aging infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of new builds or full site reconstruction, with the added benefit of preserving existing interconnection rights.

The American Clean Power Association reports a record-breaking year for utility-scale solar and storage, though a 27% drop in power purchase agreements flashes a warning light for the 2028-2030 outlook.

The company said its efforts have resulted in 3,500 jobs and more than $500 million in local tax revenue and other benefits to communities.

GameChange CEO Phillip Vynahek says the acquisition will allow his teams to integrate eBOS in a way that simplifies installation and improves overall build efficiency for EPCs.

The facility adds significant clean energy capacity to a state with about 1.7 GW of installed solar.

South Carolina officials and the EPA launched a joint investigation into York County solar manufacturing facility following back-to-back releases of potassium hydroxide and hydrofluoric acid.

The nation’s second-largest solar module manufacturer has returned to normal production levels following the release of component shipments that had been stalled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Incentives in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 drove a surge in announcements of new solar manufacturing facilities across the United States, and the country now hosts more than enough module production capacity to meet forecast domestic demand for several years. A shift in policy priorities has created uncertainty, but the continued availability of manufacturing tax credits and a focus on domestic industry have U.S. module makers looking to add cells and other components to their production plans.

EnergySage reported a 205% increase in homeowner engagement on its home energy marketplace, alongside median pricing of $2.49 per watt, an average system size of 11.8 kW and a decrease in storage attachment rates in the rush to install systems before the end of 2025.

The solar equipment and software provider said its new platform will help installers complete jobs faster and reduce the need for repeat truck rolls.

California appellate court has affirmed the Public Utilities Commission decision to sharply cut compensation for homeowners and businesses that export rooftop solar electricity production to the grid.

A report by Wood Mackenzie indicates that the deployment of long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies exceeded 15 GWh in 2025, but declining venture capital investment and falling lithium battery costs are hindering their commercial viability.

The strategic partnership aims to accelerate affordable home electrification by integrating SPAN’s advanced power controls with Eaton’s distribution and electrical safety technology.

The program, which is the largest of Base Power’s five utility collaborations, will deliver battery backup to an estimated 5,000 CoServ customers.

Standard Solar’s inventory of safe harbored solar modules reduces schedule and pricing risks for completion of the project portfolio acquired from AC Power

Researchers in the U.S. have developed a set of guidelines and protocols to assess the performance of three-terminal (3-T) and four-terminal (4-T) tandem solar cells, including those with subcells made of III–V, CdTe, perovskites or silicon materials.

The bill, which is being considered in Senate committees after passing the state House, requires utilities to allow meter-mounted devices to connect between retail electric customer meters and meter sockets. These devices reduce complexity and installation time, ultimately saving homeowners money.

McGill University researchers, publishing in Communications Earth & Environment, used deep-learning computer vision to analyze 719 solar projects across the Western U.S. The study establishes a new “land-sparing” benchmark, providing developers with precise data to balance rapid capacity expansion with conservation and land-use priorities.

“Direct transfer trip,” a costly approach to ensure that distributed generation shuts down during a power outage, can make solar projects uneconomical. A national lab report points to a combination of inverter-based approaches as a viable alternative.

The company’s stock price fell more than 12% in extended trading following the earnings announcement, partly due to lower-than-expected guidance for 2026 sales and revenue.
