Battery heavyweights reaffirm commitment to solid-state technology
Only weeks after Chinese battery and car manufacturers united as part of a government-led initiative to commercialize solid-state battery technology, South Korea’s Samsung SDI has confirmed its readiness to start mass production of its all-solid-state battery technology with an energy density of 900 Wh/L.
Solar now accounts for over 50% of new electricity capacity added to the U.S. grid
Looking back at the first full year since passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the U.S. Solar Market Insight, Year-in-Review 2023 shows that the legislation has skyrocketed the industry and will have a lasting economic impact in terms of energy, jobs and investment opportunity.

Also on the rise: Aurora Solar adds EagleView aircraft imagery to rooftop design platform. Molson Coors brews beer with solar power. And more.
This Biden era law has spurred $240 billion in clean energy investment and 170,000 jobs
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 set aside record-level funding for climate and energy, supporting this critical decade of energy transition.
Aurora Solar adds EagleView aircraft imagery to rooftop design platform
The platform covers 94% of the U.S. population with imagery as much as 70 times more detailed than standard satellite energy.
Molson Coors brews beer with solar power
The 300 MW solar installation, developed by Invenergy, is the largest in the state and generates enough electricity to power the equivalent of 90,000 homes.
Sunrise brief: Solar wins hundreds of millions in New England capacity payments
Also on the rise: Amazon helps Duke Energy complete power flow studies in hours, not months. Canadian Solar to supply Texas-made TOPCon modules to Sol Systems. And more.
Chevron announces solar-to-hydrogen project in California
The oil giant expects the facility to produce about 2.2 tons of hydrogen per day by 2025.
24M develops recycling process for its SemiSolid battery platform
A new chemistry-agnostic recycling process for EV and ESS batteries called Liforever is designed to reduce the environmental impact of lithium-ion batteries by making it efficient and cost-effective to recover and reuse battery materials, including lithium iron phosphate both in process and at end-of-life.
Thin prospects for ingot, wafer and solar cell manufacturing
The production of PV ingots and wafers remains the most highly concentrated of all the production stages in the silicon solar supply chain. Yet efforts to re-establish production in Europe and the United States are not for the faint-hearted.
