In our latest article in the NEM Data Spotlight Series, we observe that March saw declines in both utility-scale and rooftop solar.

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.

Pan-African developer Axian Energy has reached financial close on what it is billing as West Africa’s largest solar-plus-storage project.

Dutch research institute TNO has developed what it said is the world’s first solar roof tile based on perovskite technology.

Danish independent power producer (IPP) European Energy has divested a 470MW hybrid project in Lithuania to Israel-based IPP Energix.

The world added 510GW of new solar PV capacity in 2025, the most of any electricity generation source, according to IRENA.

In its analysis, Ember examined grid capacity across 20 EU countries and found the major gap was at the transmission level, with a possible shortfall of 104 GW that would affect utility-scale solar projects.

Solar power has saved the EU over €110 million (US$127.5 million) a day since the outbreak of war in the Middle East, according to SolarPower Europe.

Four giant solar ‘wings’ will provide power for the first crewed mission to the Moon in over 50 years, due to launch later today.

South Australia could see its peak load double from 3.3GW today to 6.5-7GW by 2040, driven by data centres, green steel and hydrogen demand.
