Enphase introduces complete off-grid solar and storage system
Enphase Energy has introduced a complete off-grid solar and storage system that integrates batteries, microinverters, and generator control, with international rollout set for 2026.
Why rooftop solar’s emissions math is changing
As clean energy grows, so do the limits of how it’s measured. A new Nature Climate Change study warns that rooftop solar’s emissions impact is shrinking as the grid cleans itself.
Unlimited low-cost energy storage
In its latest monthly for pv magazine, the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) explains how pumped-hydro energy storage combined with PV power generation could provide 24/7 power to data centers.
Every major component of solar supply chain is now made in the U.S.
A Solar Energy Industries Association report indicates that the U.S. solar manufacturing pipeline is robust, however, Trump Administration policies, regulations and trade actions could stall progress and dampen demand for U.S.-made products.
Solar recycling: Driving down costs before volumes spike
The U.S. may reach 10 million retired panels per year before 2030, more than IEA estimates. Waiting until the industry hits the “millions of panels per year” scale to build recycling infrastructure could lead to catastrophic costs for asset owners.
Selling residential solar after ITC expiration
Aurora Solar survey reveals that with the demise of the investment tax credit, installers should renew their focus on state incentives and design payment options that work for each unique case.
Strategies for de-risking early-stage renewable energy projects
Over 70% to 90% of early-stage projects fail and are never constructed, according to findings reported by Paces.
Off-grid solar suitcases delivered to more than 10,000 health clinics in sub-Saharan Africa
Solar-integrated suitcases bring critical backup power and lighting to health clinics for women giving birth. The kits were provided by Berkeley, California-based We Care Solar.
New York utility aims to expand its flexible interconnection pilot
After operating a 15 MW solar plant with flexible interconnection that requires occasional curtailment but not grid upgrades, Avangrid seeks to expand flexible interconnection to additional portions of its distribution grid.
Rethinking the landscape of solar tracker design
As solar projects are increasingly developed on challenging, uneven terrain, the traditional flat-site project design tools and long-tube trackers are no longer viable. Nevados shares how its dual innovation in articulating tracker hardware and bespoke digital design software allows developers to maximize energy production and precision on slopes up to 37%, avoiding expensive and environmentally harmful grading.
