Steward Creek Solar project includes a 600 MW interconnection agreement and capacity for battery storage.

The agreement secures American-made LFP battery supply for Qcells’ utility-scale projects from 2028 to 2030, reinforcing a shared commitment to domestic manufacturing.

Rystad Energy says it expects global battery energy storage system (BESS) additions to exceed 130 GW/350 GWh in 2026, led by China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany.

The Silicon Valley startup, led by former Tesla Energy executive Kunal Girotra, says the funding will support product innovation and expansion of its operations and manufacturing base.

pv magazine USA profiles Deep Patel and how he shaped the market for do-it-yourself solar kits.

The new Tesla Solar Panel and mounting system pairs with the company’s inverter, Powerwall battery, EV charging and vehicles, creating an all-Tesla residential solar offering for the first time.

The company is exporting residential single-phase inverters from its Texas facility to Italy, France, and the Netherlands. The shipments feature a “single SKU” design intended to simplify inventory for distributors and installers.

pv magazine has spoken with silver analysts from Bloomberg and StoneX about the vertiginous growth of silver prices in recent weeks. They both agree that when prices rise too fast, investors’ behavior may change quickly. Meanwhile, the price of the precious metal has reached another all-time high today at $110 per ounce.

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

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.

New data out of Modo Energy suggests only about 85% of large batteries with signed interconnection agreements are likely to be built, as queue timelines stretch beyond four years.

Wood Mackenzie ranked NextPower as the world’s top PV tracker manufacturer in the first half of 2025, with companies headquartered in the United States, China and Spain occupying all top 10 positions.

A Missouri State Senator, with vocal support from the Governor, has submitted a bill stopping all solar construction immediately, and placing a moratorium on all new solar construction starts until December 31, 2027 – or when new rules are developed by the state.

Solar developers need to adapt to new realities and seize new opportunities, said a report from Enverus Intelligence Research.

Bills have been introduced in several states to address barriers to renewable energy deployment ahead of upcoming deadlines to qualify for federal tax credits.

New Jersey is now a “top ten” state for interconnecting distributed solar and storage, said nonprofit group IREC, as projects with an export capacity of up to 2 MW will now qualify for a more streamlined interconnection process.

Declining costs for enhanced geothermal could make the technology a stronger competitor to solar plus storage. A national lab atlas shows wide potential for enhanced geothermal deployment, primarily in the Western U.S.

54% of respondents cited “energy availability and redundancy” as the single greatest obstacle to successful data center development between now and 2030.

Renewables and storage could reliably power data centers, but success requires active grids, coordinated planning, and the right mix of technologies. Hitachi Energy CTO, Gerhard Salge, tells pv magazine that holistic approaches ensure technical feasibility, economic viability, and energy system resilience.

New documents reveal U.S. government found two cases of communications in Chinese inverters that differed from official documentation. The discrepancies were deemed “non-malicious” and “non-intentional” by investigators.
