The project spans 12 sites and is projected to deliver $48 million in cost savings over the next 20 years.

Farmer Joe Czajkowski said there are several benefits of incorporating solar with his farming operation, not the least of which is income.

The Los Angeles-based startup says it has now raised $49 million to accelerate its work to provide flexible industrial solutions that help its clients connect to power faster and bypass long waits for permanent grid infrastructure upgrades.

Analysis from Wiki-Solar finds the world’s 33 largest utility-scale solar markets had a cumulative capacity of 1,008 GWac by the end of last year.

Norwegian vertical solar specialist Over Easy Solar has installed its first rooftop vertical solar installation in the U.S. market. The 100 kW system, combined with a green roof in New York, is expected to deliver around 120,000 kWh annually depending on factors including albedo, azimuth and local shadowing.

Company statements in the filing indicate it will seek an arrangement between itself and creditors that may allow it to survive “as a going concern.”

New research from the University of New South Wales shows that PV module degradation varies widely with system design and location, driven by UV exposure, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric conditions. Tropical and desert regions face the highest stress, highlighting the need for climate-specific testing and system design.

Median solar module pricing in the United States reached $0.28 per watt as the market adjusted to intensified trade enforcement and new Foreign Entity of Concern compliance requirements, according to the Q1 2026 Quarterly Pricing & Domestic Content Report from Anza.

SOSV-backed Qnetic is aiming to raise $20 million in 2026. Over the next two years it will work with the National Lab of the Rockies and other partners on field testing and validating its technology across multiple use cases.

The United States is at a critical inflection point where speed to deployment of energy technologies contributes to economic strength and energy security, but policy certainty is paramount, according to a panel of three solar manufacturing experts.

German tracker manufacturer Ideematec has executed an agreement with Parliament Energy to supply its Horizon L:TEC 1P trackers for 1.2 GWac of solar projects in Texas.

PowerBank Corp. announced that a third-party buyer has returned two New York community solar projects to its portfolio after the sites failed to secure local permits.

The acquisition of Nor-Cal Controls allows Mortenson to internalize power plant control and SCADA engineering, targeting the technical bottlenecks that often delay project commissioning and grid synchronization.

Job moves in solar, storage, cleantech, utilities and energy transition finance.

Machine learning is enabling more granular performance tracking and insurance evaluation.

The public-private partnership plans a 2028 demonstration of its LEPTON technology designed to deliver photovoltaic power to the moon’s surface from low orbit.

A new report from global energy think tank Ember shows 814 GWdc in new solar and wind capacity was installed in 2025, but the pace of wind deployment rose 47% year-over-year compared to just 11% for solar.

In 19 states analyzed, permitting processes partially or fully adjudicated at the state level “are not preventing new potential energy from entering the grid,” researchers said.

The TOPCon solar cells fabricated with screen-printed, fire-through copper rear contacts and silver front contacts, using laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO) to significantly reduce contact resistivity. Optimized copper cells achieved 24.3% efficiency, comparable to Ag-contacted cells, with excellent stability.

An international study found that the specific power of commercial silicon solar modules increased from 8.5 W/kg in the early 2000s to 23.6 W/kg today, driven by advances in module design, bifaciality, and temperature management. The researchers highlighted that glass and framing dominate module weight, and considering operating conditions like nominal operating cell temperature and rear-side illumination is essential for accurate PV system design.
