The state’s shift to a “capped” system means developers are now racing for limited space. The program exceeds its goals for low-income participation, addressing access gaps in the energy transition.

The 13 MW solar array at a Maine facility was constructed by PowerFlex and is owned and operated by Onyx under a long-term power purchase agreement.

GlobalData says global renewable capacity will more than double to 8.4 TW by 2031, with PV reaching nearly 6 TW, a 13% compound annual growth rate from 2025 levels of 4.1 TW.

Peak Energy says it will deploy the first sodium-ion battery in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) service area with RWE Americas in eastern Wisconsin, using passively cooled grid-scale storage that cuts auxiliary power use by 90% and lowers lifetime storage costs by $70/kWh.

Since 2022 the Let’s Share the Sun Foundation and Wood Mackenzie have provided renewable energy solutions to help advance health, women’s safety and education for children.

LG Energy Solution and GM are converting part of their Spring Hill battery joint venture to LFP production for energy storage, as another North American battery manufacturing plan shifts from EVs toward stationary storage.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has blocked the imposition of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese active anode material (AAM), providing a massive sigh of relief for the domestic battery storage sector.

The Department of the Interior has ended months of speculation, identifying Tesla as the counterparty for a massive domestic lithium iron phosphate battery contract aimed at scaling U.S. energy storage production.

The firm’s quarterly market intelligence reports highlight rising module costs across the globe, with the largest potential impacts to U.S. buyers coming through impending Section 232 tariffs set to take effect this year.

Solar manufacturer Swift Solar has acquired the heterojunction technology (HJT) intellectual property and manufacturing assets of Meyer Burger to establish domestic cell production.

Swish Solar has an AI-driven tool that optimizes solar panel cleaning schedules to reduce soiling losses and operating costs. The platform uses data analytics and forecasting models to help operators time cleaning based on financial impact.

The company reported a net loss of $86 million in the fourth quarter as lower module and storage volumes offset record annual shipments to the U.S. market.

Data from EnergyBin and Buckstop shows used panels accounted for just 1% of resale listings in 2025, as record-low prices for new modules undermine the economics of reuse.

The Solarplaza Summit Asset Management North America conference returns to San Diego from April 1 to April 2, 2026. The expanded event will cover how asset owners can maximize performance, integrate storage and navigate risks as they operate their portfolios.

The U.S. residential solar market faces immediate pressure as tax credits expire and FEOC challenges mount.

New data center capacity additions fell 50% quarter-over-quarter in Q4 2025, signaling a shift in developer focus toward executing existing projects amid power queue bottlenecks.

As the buildout of data centers in the United States accelerates, developers are often targeting remote locations where land availability is high. Off-grid solar paired with batteries offers an opportunity to power data centers in areas that would otherwise not have access to dependable utility infrastructure.

Elon Musk, the CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX, raised some eyebrows at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, when he predicted “that the lowest cost place to put AI will be space and that will be true within two to three years, three at the latest.” pv magazine reported on Musk’s vision on our global website www.pv-magazine.com on Jan. 26, 2026, and exactly one week later SpaceX announced that it was acquiring xAI “to form the most ambitious, vertically integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth, with AI, rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile device communications, and the world’s foremost real-time information and free speech platform.”

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are already regularly deployed in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications for data centers, but current market conditions are now driving new deployment needs and strategies. Blathnaid O’Dea hears from industry insiders about increasingly popular approaches like bring your own capacity (BYOC) and flexible grid connections (FGC), and why batteries can provide services beyond speed to power that gas turbines can’t.

SolarEdge and Enteligent are stripping away AC bottlenecks to reclaim gigawatts of wasted data center capacity.
