The Q3 2023 edition of our downstream solar PV journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download, leading with a focus on solar in the US, one year on from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

The cover story of Volume 36 is an in-depth look at the IRA’s immediate, ongoing and future impacts on the US supply chain, community solar and the transition from coal to clean energy. Especially with the occasion of the RE+ national industry event taking place later in September, we’ve also got lots more on the US PV and energy storage sectors on related topics.
