As California batteries increasingly depend on bid cost recovery to smooth out market deviations, the make-whole mechanism is being reshaped to balance flexibility and fairness.

Canada is on track to deploy more solar in 2025 than it did in 2024, according to the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA), with behind-the-meter installations having a particularly active year to date.

Many states made steady gains in community solar capacity last quarter while other states fought for the ability to have community solar capacity.

A democratically organized nonprofit is giving a seat at the clean energy table to 36 communities in Western Fresno County.

Solar represented 75% of grid capacity additions in the first half, followed distantly by wind and natural gas, said new data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

America’s battery factory buildout hinges on experienced operating teams.

Avaada Electro, the solar manufacturing arm of Avaada Group is presenting its n-type G12, G12R and M10L tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar modules at the RE+ 2025 trade show in Las Vegas.

New solar panels, battery energy storage systems, factory announcements and more are set to be unveiled at RE+ Las Vegas, Nevada, Sep 8-11.

As tariffs push copper costs higher, one startup thinks additive manufacturing could free batteries from the metal altogether.

The company opened a 95,000 square foot facility that is expected to create 100 jobs in Houston, adding to its existing footprint in the area.

The stackable battery ranges 4.9 kWh to 19.6 kWh per unit while the inverter is available in ranges from 3.8 kW to 13 kW. The company also introduced a meter socket adapter to avoid triggering costly main panel upgrades.

Many homeowners assume leased or loaned solar systems will boost their home’s value, but outstanding loans often drag down equity instead.

Draft legislation from Solar and Storage Industries Institute and SEIA provides policymakers with a framework to reduce delays with interconnection and permitting processes for households and businesses.

In the high-stakes world of solar development, a project’s journey from concept to completion is fraught with challenges, with financing representing the ultimate hurdle. At the core of a project’s viability lies the energy assessment, where a single miscalculation can jeopardize millions and send a project back to the drawing board.

The United States has stepped up its use of tariffs on international trade partners, alongside the removal of many renewable energy incentives. Most imports from China are now subject to 30% tariffs and other barriers, along with further measures specific to solar products. InfoLink’s Alan Tu examines key changes in US policy and their likely impact on the domestic PV market.

Three US manufacturers actively working to commercialize their respective perovskite-silicon tandem technologies make the case for tandem modules. CubicPV, Caelux and Swift Solar argue a commercial future for perovskites is inevitable, and they tell pv magazine the current policy environment could work in the technology’s favor.
