Distributed solar supplied 27% of Pakistan’s electricity in 2025
Analysis by the Pakistan Solar Association finds roughly 51 TWh of generation that never appears on grid-side data, as rooftop and off-grid solar spreads faster than official statistics. The association claims unseen generation can be inferred from a deepening midday demand trough, with network design suffering as a result.

Australia’s remote mining companies turn to renewable hybrid power systems
Australia’s remote mining operations are emerging as the proving ground for high-renewable energy systems with operational data showing several off-grid industrial sites are now consistently operating at renewable energy penetration rates above 80%.
Waste solar silicon repurposed as support for palladium nanoparticle catalysts
Italian researchers have developed a palladium-on-silicon catalyst using recycled PV module silicon, enabling efficient microwave-assisted biaryl synthesis. The catalyst achieved high yields, recyclability, and lower environmental impact compared with conventional silicon and carbon-based supports.

Study shows consequences of PV-related fires are generally limited in severity
An international study analyzed PV-related fires across the UK, Italy, Slovenia, and Sweden, showing that differences in reported fire rates are largely driven by national data collection methods and definitions. The researchers found that PV fires remain relatively rare, with data revealing that DC cables and connectors are the most common ignition sources.
Chinese researchers build 29.71% perovskite-CIGS tandem solar cell based on sulfide
Researchers in China developed a four-terminal perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cell using bis(2-pyridylmethyl) sulfide (2PyS) coordination engineering to improve wide-bandgap perovskite stability by suppressing defects, halide migration, and phase segregation.
US bans foreign-produced solar inverters
In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau has added foreign-produced power inverters to its Covered List, executing an immediate ban on equipment authorizations for unapproved foreign models over national security and hacking concerns.
