Welcome to the PV Chart of the Week from our colleagues at PV Tech Research. This week, we look at the annual nameplate capacity for solar cells and modules in the US since 2020.

Solar growth changes how operators think about inspections, as they must ensure that thousands of panels are producing at peak efficiency.

Australia's National Electricity Market recorded a combined 3,320GWh of solar generation in July 2026, comprising 1,448GWh from utility-scale assets and 1,872GWh from rooftop systems.

Anza figures show that the median price for a solar PV module assembled in the US held steady at US$0.3/W in July 2026.

PV Tech Premium spoke with Jesse Simons, co-founder of Solarcycle, about recycling being regional and reducing the price of a new solar panel

Ryan Davidson talks about cyber risks, supply chain vulnerabilities and practical steps to strengthen grid resilience in PV and BESS.

A significant shift in PV inverter manufacturing is set to unfold, writes Solar Media Market Research's Mollie McCorkindale.

PV Tech Premium spoke with Mike Carr, executive director of the SEMA Coalition, about the hollowing out of domestic demand for US solar manufacturing under the Trump administration, the way that US companies are piecing together supply chains and the reasons to still hope for the sector’s future.  

As sub-zero temperatures force many residential battery systems offline or drain energy through auxiliary heating, Dr. Qingfeng Yuan explains how the CATL-ATL joint venture's thermal engineering is eliminating winter downtime across Northern and Alpine Europe
