Jonathan Touriño Jacobo looks at Southern Europe, where pricing, grid capacity and the ban of PV on farmland are causing headaches.

One of the first projects to benefit from Sunly's securing the €300 million debt financing is a 244MW solar PV plant in Estonia.

Enfinity Global is currently building 416MW of capacity in Italy across 17 projects, which have secured long-term power purchase agreements.

Construction is expected to start in November, with the 2GW module assembly plant built in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Daqo New Energy's polysilicon average selling price dropped from US$7.66/kg in Q1 2024 to US$5.12/kg in Q2 2024, while its average production cost sat at US$6.19/kg.

Avantus and Toyota Tsusho America's 125MWac Norton Solar project is expected to begin commercial operations in late 2025.

India’s cumulative installed solar capacity stood at 87.2GW by the end of June 2024 and accounts for 19.5% of all power capacity installed.

Nestlé is the sole tax equity investor of the 326MW Stampede solar-plus-storage project and will also acquire the renewable energy attributes from the whole capacity of the solar PV plant.

As the solar industry continues to grow and evolve, module blending can offer practical solutions for reducing project cost, particularly as antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) tariffs could be applied to Chinese products and US domestic content is incentivized, writes Burns & McDonnell.

According to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) latest report “Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory”, solar PV accounted for 59% of all additions.
