In the high-stakes world of solar development, a project’s journey from concept to completion is fraught with challenges, with financing representing the ultimate hurdle. At the core of a project’s viability lies the energy assessment, where a single miscalculation can jeopardize millions and send a project back to the drawing board.

The United States has stepped up its use of tariffs on international trade partners, alongside the removal of many renewable energy incentives. Most imports from China are now subject to 30% tariffs and other barriers, along with further measures specific to solar products. InfoLink’s Alan Tu examines key changes in US policy and their likely impact on the domestic PV market.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is loaded with negative measures for the U.S. solar industry. What does the bill mean for solar project development over the coming years?

The distributed energy value stack is the collection of benefits and revenue streams that distributed energy resources (DERs) — such as solar, storage, demand response, and flexible generation — can deliver to customers, utilities, and the grid. As the market evolves, the value stack has become increasingly complex. For sellers of DERs and virtual power plants (VPPs), transparency into this value stack is no longer optional.

An American research group has conducted a pilot workshop for agrivoltaics stakeholders in Arizona, including farmers, developers, government officials and indigenous leaders. A reflection paper offers some key takeaways for future public participation.
