Germany-based renewables developer Uniper has started the construction phase on several solar PV projects in Hungary, Germany and the UK.

India has added a record 25.2GW of solar PV capacity in 2024, according to a report from research firm Mercom India Research.

The tripartite deal between UAE's Masdar, Eni and the Albanian power and grid companies was signed this week in Rome.

Louth Callan Renewables has been awarded permission to build three solar projects, with a combined capacity of 121MW, in Illinois.

The Tech Council of Australia (TCA) has today (25 February) launched the Consumer Energy Tech Alliance (CETA), aiming to support the uptake of solar PV, battery storage, and smart technologies with its integration into the energy grid.

Construction has started on a 400MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) that will be co-located with Acen Australia's 720MW New England solar PV power plant in New South Wales, Australia.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has forecast 63GW of new utility-scale additions in 2025, led by solar PV.

Inaccurate energy yield predictions can lead to financial miscalculations, suboptimal designs and unexpected underperformance of PV plants.

Even if added later, storage should not be overlooked in the design and building phase when co-locating with solar PV, write Grant Reasor, Joshua Tucker and Dan Rollins Burns & McDonnell.

Australia’s Mount Isa City Council in Queensland has released an economic roadmap detailing that the region has some of eastern Australia’s highest potential for co-located solar and wind, with a possible generation capacity of over 26GW.
