The Montreal-based company is working through phase 1 of a project partially funded by the California Energy Commission, and has just began serving the Quebec market. As it works to prove its technology can support the California grid and its homeowner customers, the company is planning for phase 2.

Utility-scale solar power is projected to surpass coal-fired generation in the ERCOT grid this year as massive capacity additions continue to reshape the state energy mix.

The La Salle Solar facility, which represents the largest single-site solar project for either of the two companies, is scheduled to begin commercial operation in 2028.

States are now balancing three priorities simultaneously: emissions reductions, grid reliability, and explosive demand growth, explores a report from the North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center.

The installations will deliver an estimated $500,000 in savings over 25 years, allowing Housing Unlimited to reinvest the funds toward its core mission of serving adults in mental health recovery.

Toyo Co. says a new anti-circumvention petition targeting its Ethiopian solar cell facility is “riddled with misinformation.” The Japanese manufacturer tells pv magazine that the site reached 4 GW of capacity last year and that it is planning a U.S. onshore cell plant.

Through this million asset purchase, Inox Clean acquires 3 GW of operational TOPCon solar module manufacturing capacity in the United States, aligning with the “Make in America, For America” initiative.

Ahead of Solar Manufacturing USA 2026, Conference Chair Finlay Colville sits down with T1 Energy CEO Daniel Barcelo to discuss the company’s rapid multi-gigawatt module ramp-up and its strategic push to onshore the U.S. solar cell supply chain.

Severe shortages of power transformers are stalling grid expansion as developers face skyrocketing prices and four year wait times for critical equipment.

The $200 million investment will bring the company’s total domestic production capacity to 6 GW by late 2026.

The new credential launches in partnership with six initial solar installers, representing more than 5,000 sales reps, with more to come later in the year.

Bluetti has launched the Balco 260 and Balco 500, two integrated balcony PV storage systems combining MPPT, inverter, battery storage and smart control in a plug-and-play architecture for urban households.

The Tigo products will be integrated into and/or bundled with EG4 inverters. The companies say the combined products will qualify for enhanced federal tax incentives.

The Michigan utility issued a request for proposals targeting new in-state renewable energy assets to support its long-term generation strategy.

New Ford battery energy storage system (BESS) subsidiary announces multi-year framework agreement with EDF Power Solutions. It follows Ford Energy unveiling its new containerized BESS product earlier in May 2026.

The aircraft, acquired by Skydweller Aero in 2019 and converted into an autonomous long-endurance platform, crashed after a loss of power. It was equipped with approximately 17,000 photovoltaic cells on its wings.

Amazon has conducted a six-month field trial of a rooftop heat pump system developed by U.S. startup Transaera at one of its logistics facilities. The system uses metal–organic framework (MOF)–based dehumidification to remove moisture from outdoor air before cooling.

U.S. researchers have developed an IR-CW laser-based method to remove backsheets from end-of-life silicon solar modules without damaging the glass or wafers, using controlled heating of the silicon–EVA interface through the front glass. The process enables clean mechanical delamination with preserved device performance and offers a lower-energy, lower-cost alternative to conventional thermal or chemical recycling methods.

The companies say their solutions combine to provide asset owners with both rapid insights into emergent issues and long-term benefits from scheduled inspections, delivering a “continuous feedback loop” in which data gathered by autonomous drone inspections helps to optimize operational algorithms in the tracker software.

Faced with an increasingly congested grid and skyrocketing energy demands, data center developers are shifting toward solar-plus-storage as a logistically viable, essential solution for securing reliable power on a market-ready timetable.
