Wood Mackenzie records solar LCOE of $37/MWh in MENA region
Wood Mackenzie researchers say single-axis PV offers the lowest utility-scale generation costs globally, with efficiency gains and stable supply chains expected to drive down solar’s levelized cost of electricity (LCOE).
Solar sector corporate funding falls 22% year-over-year
Venture capital, public market, and debt financing into the solar industry reached $17.3 billion through the first 9 months of 2025, said Mercom Capital Group.
Unlimited low-cost energy storage
In its latest monthly for pv magazine, the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) explains how pumped-hydro energy storage combined with PV power generation could provide 24/7 power to data centres
What WTO can still do to regulate global cleantech trade
pv magazine spoke with energy and environmental law expert Anatole Boute about the past and future role of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in regulating trade disputes related to clean energy technologies amid current geopolitical tensions. He noted that despite recent protectionist efforts to revive the solar manufacturing industry, the European Union still strives to remain compliant with WTO rules.
Nearly half of solar capacity will be co-located with storage by 2060, says DNV
DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook 2025 report also predicts that distributed generation solar should begin outpacing utility-scale installations in some parts of the world by 2060. It adds that the levelized cost of electricity for solar is beginning to plateau and is expected to slow to an annual drop below 1% by the 2050s.
Longi BC modules surpass TOPCon output by 2.45% in desert comparison
The company says data from a recent empirical project show that its Hi-MO 9 back contact (BC) modules outperformed conventional TOPCon modules in a head-to-head comparison in a desert environment with harsh climate conditions.
PV module recycling gains momentum as waste volumes surge globally
A comprehensive new report from IEA PVPS Task 12 reveals how countries around the world are managing the growing volumes of end-of-life solar modules, implementing regulations and scaling recycling infrastructure to handle the expected increment in PV waste over the coming decades.
