The software includes topography-informed backtracking and irradiance-optimized tracking for utility-scale and distributed generation projects.
Distributed solar accounted for 15% of all new U.S. power capacity in 2025 as residential and community projects reached record installation levels.
An IEA-PVPS report finds that solar power above 60° North is not only viable but rapidly expanding, driven by cold-climate performance gains, bifacial technologies, and rising energy security needs. While challenges like extreme seasonality, snow, permafrost, and scarce data remain, Arctic PV is emerging as a critical—and technically distinct—frontier for global solar deployment.
The companies say their integrated software platforms will provide solar installers with a way to offer a holistic customer experience that carries through all parts of the solar sales and installation process, and beyond.
The three-part report series from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory aims to guide community leaders and developers through the complex legal and regulatory hurdles that often stall the development of local microgrid projects across the United States.
The combined community solar platform aims to insulate 16 states from rising retail electricity rates and fossil fuel price spikes through automated subscriber management and expanded project pipelines.
The Department of Energy is deploying a research framework across four national laboratories to harden the domestic power grid against digital vulnerabilities as solar deployment accelerates.
Job moves in solar, storage, cleantech, utilities and energy transition finance.
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.
As state governors across the PJM grid region “have expressed alarm over capacity prices” that drive up electric bills, retail choice models that can quickly deploy thousands of distributed batteries can make consumers “the primary source of new capacity,” says the author of a new report.
