The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) says cumulative solar installations are expected to double from 91 GW to 182 GW from the end of 2023 to the end of 2026. Meanwhile, battery energy storage capacity is expected to grow 70% in 2025 alone.

China’s polysilicon and solar module prices held steady this week amid low trading volumes, but softening producer quotes and rising output across the supply chain signaled mounting oversupply risks.

India added 23.8 GW of new solar capacity in fiscal 2025, up 58.5% year on year, according to JMK Research.

The Infrastructure Development Bank of Zimbabwe (IDBZ) has started accepting bids for a turnkey engineering, procurement, construction, financing, and operations and maintenance (EPC+F+OM) contractor for a 5 MW solar project.

Since 1993, the World Energy Outlook (WEO) of the International Energy Agency (IEA) has been an authoritative report on energy statistics and guiding future energy supply and demand developments. An examination of these reports, however, indicates that even the most progressive of WEO scenarios has vastly underestimated the growth of renewable energy technologies, especially solar PV.

Meyer Burger has posted a CHF 210.4 million ($256.7 million) EBITDA loss for fiscal 2024, on sales of approximately €75 million. The Swiss PV manufacturer says its future is “highly uncertain” as it seeks new financing and works on restructuring plans to remain operational.

This week, Women in Solar Europe (WiSEu) gives voice to Rachele De Angelis, European Affair Officer at Italy’s Enel. She says bringing fresh ideas from new academic backgrounds and early career experiences can help companies achieve transformative insights. “These perspectives can challenge old assumptions and generate more creative and inclusive solutions,” she states.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that irradiance across England, the Benelux region, Denmark, northern France, northern Germany, and northern Poland surged well above long-term March averages. In the UK, aggregated solar irradiance reached its highest March value since 2014.

Scientists in Spain have simulated the combination of power-to-heat-to-power storage systems with lithium-ion batteries to supply energy needs and heat pump production of an electrified dwelling. PV self-consumption was found to increase by up to 20% and levelized cost of energy decrease by 7%.

Solar Stack has launched two US-made, adhesive-based conduit mounts that eliminate the need for roof penetrations in solar installations.
