Looking at development opportunities beyond the 750 MW project, Navajo Power’s CEO said that expanded transmission capacity in the region would better position the Navajo Nation as a regional energy player.

Ohm analysts tracked over 150 actions taken by utilities, regulators and legislators in 2025 and noted a 153% year-over-year increase in residential battery enrollments, with ample room to grow.

The newly completed facility solidifies Indiana’s position as a top-three market for utility-scale solar additions as the state pivots from its coal-heavy legacy.

The partnership aims to develop community solar, small utility-scale solar and energy storage projects on 50 or more of WM’s capped landfill sites across the United States.

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.

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 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.

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.

An executive order signed by the governor focused on energy generation, including speeding multiple forward focused on deploying solar power, and energy storage in the state.

Utah’s enactment of a plug-in solar law last year has prompted the safety certification body UL to begin developing a safety standard for the equipment, said the law’s sponsor, while plug-in solar manufacturers communicating with UL will add momentum to UL’s progress. Legislators in twenty-two states are discussing plug-in solar legislation, a nonprofit co-founder said.

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.

U.S. scientists used density functional theory to reveal how sodium ions are stored in nanoporous carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries, identifying dual ionic and metallic storage mechanisms within the pores. Their findings provide practical design guidelines to improve battery voltage, safety, and commercial viability for stationary energy storage.

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.
