Compliance premiums lift global polysilicon prices

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

Solar modules under pressure: The growing risk of spontaneous glass breakage

Once considered isolated incidents, spontaneous glass breakages in solar modules are becoming more frequent, highlighting the limits of some manufacturing choices and the need for closer quality control.

The eyes and ears of the power grid

Sensors are an indispensable tool to inform utility managers of the state of the electricity grid and the occurrence of disruptions of any kind. The IEC provides the standards and conformity assessment that enable them to operate safely and efficiently.

Hybridization: The new paradigm for a more resilient and competitive renewable market

One of the main benefits of hybridization is the ability to offer more attractive and stable energy products to clients. A hybrid PPA better covers consumption needs, reduces risks associated with the variability of a single source, and allows for more competitive long-term pricing, writes Rodrigo López, head of revenues at BNZ.

Global solar enters period of adjustment, as market conditions redefine rules of competition

Global solar growth is flattening in major markets as oversupply from China and India drives prices down and shifts competition from sheer volume to execution, policy alignment, and system integration. Across the U.S., Europe, and China, energy storage is becoming essential for project viability, making PV-plus-storage and strong EPC partnerships the new basis for winning projects in 2026 and beyond.

Germany adds 6.57 GWh of battery storage in 2025, total hits 24 GWh

Germany added an estimated 6.57 GWh of stationary battery storage capacity in 2025, an increase of about 8% year on year, lifting total installed capacity to roughly 24 GWh. Growth was driven by industrial and large-scale systems, even as home storage installations declined alongside weaker rooftop solar demand.
