Ireland reaches 1 GW of installed rooftop PV capacity
Ireland surpassed 2.1 GW of installed solar capacity in November 2025, and the country’s solar association, Solar Ireland, has revealed that 1 GW of this is from rooftop installations.
Batteries now cheap enough to make dispatchable solar economically feasible
Energy think tank Ember says utility-scale battery costs can now achieve a levelized cost of storage of $65/MWh outside China and the United States, enabling solar power to be delivered when needed.
Táctica Industrial unveils off-grid PV system for modular green hydrogen
Spanish renewables specialist Táctica Industrial says its off-grid photovoltaic system produces green hydrogen at about €400 ($470)/kW using modular alkaline electrolysis without inverters or grid connection.
Inlyte proves out first full-scale iron–sodium battery system in factory test
According to Inlyte, the tested unit incorporates what it describes as the world’s largest sodium metal chloride battery cells and modules built to date, with each module capable of storing more than 300 kWh of energy.
Indian company rolls out sodium-ion storage systems for homes, businesses
Naxion Energy says its new sodium-ion systems target residential and commercial users seeking locally made, safer alternatives to legacy backup technologies.
Canada opens review into anti-dumping duties on Chinese PV modules, laminates
Canada’s International Trade Tribunal is running an interim review of the country’s anti-dumping and countervailing duties on solar modules and laminates from China, following a request to exclude flexible solar panels that affix to curved surfaces.
China module market watches 2026 export rebate signals as polysilicon consolidation platform company is registered
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.
Faulty forecasts undermining solar returns, say Australian researchers
Solstice AI says improved forecasting accuracy could lift profits across Australia’s utility-scale solar market and reduce costly weather-driven volatility for operators and traders.
Interspace single-axis agrivoltaics has lowest environmental impact in Europe
A group of scientists has simulated fixed vertical, interspace and overhead single-axis as well as overhead dual-axis agrivoltaic systems for 30 years and has found interspace single-axis system emerged as the most environmentally favorable configuration in Europe.
Aluminum-doped zinc oxide glass coating for shielded space solar PV modules
South Korean researchers developed a process that allows the use of aluminum-doped zinc oxide film in radiation-shielding quartz glass. A demonstration in III-V solar photovoltaic space modules showed it significantly enhanced shielding effect of bare quartz glass.
