As key purchasers of solar power, distribution companies are central to India’s renewable energy goals. But, under severe financial strain, they could also derail those same ambitions.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has issued a proposed decision rejecting a solar industry-backed Net Value Billing Tariff (NVBT) for community solar programmes, and instead advancing a compensation framework based on the Avoided Cost Calculator (ACC).  

Array Technologies will deploy its OmniTrack terrain-following tracker system at a 260MW solar PV project being developed by Turkish company Pekintas.

According to Ember, solar-plus-storage could supply up to 90% of India’s electricity demand at a levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) of INR5.06/kWh (US$56/MWh).

Solar manufacturer Qcells is expanding into integrated home energy systems with a new division targeting the US residential construction sector.

LONGi has launched its solar-plus-storage strategy, LONGi One, marking a shift from traditional multi-vendor system architectures to a fully integrated design approach.
