Could mixed-module sourcing give more than mixed results for FEOC compliance?
Blended approaches that combine FEOC and non-FEOC compliant modules can help meet MACR thresholds while keeping costs low.
Jigar Shah sees virtual power plants as the fastest way for states to stabilize electric bills
States can control the retail cost of electricity by promoting virtual power plants, consisting of distributed batteries and other resources, which can be deployed “within months,” said industry veteran Jigar Shah and a co-author in a report.
Setting the stage for U.S. energy storage
Sweeping import tariffs and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) made waves for the US clean energy industry in a tempestuous 2025. While solar developers chase safe harboring deadlines, US energy storage manufacturing could benefit from rules that encourage onshoring, provided there is policy certainty to bank on, as Phoebe Skok reports.
Winter weather splits solar conditions across North America
In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that destabilized polar circulation in February produced wet and cloudy conditions in some parts of North America, while the central and eastern regions enjoyed elevated irradiance under clearer conditions.
U.S. solar’s push for domestic bliss
Incentives in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 drove a surge in announcements of new solar manufacturing facilities across the United States, and the country now hosts more than enough module production capacity to meet forecast domestic demand for several years. A shift in policy priorities has created uncertainty, but the continued availability of manufacturing tax credits and a focus on domestic industry have U.S. module makers looking to add cells and other components to their production plans.
