Chinese module manufacturer LONGI has launched a new back-contact (BC) lightweight module for commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop applications.

During H1 2025, China has added 211.61GW of new PV capacity, more than doubling last year's figures when installs reached 102.5GW in H1 2024.

Aesolar and Fraunhofer CSP are developing segmented solar modules optimised for rooftops with partial shading.

At this year’s Intersolar Europe event, held in Munich, Germany, Solavita launched a new hybrid inverter for the C&I sectors.

China has installed a record of 104.9GW of solar PV between January and April 2025, according to data from the Chinese National Energy Administration. 

Third-party ownership (TPO) of non-residential projects in the US has led commercial and industrial (C&I) and community solar financing in 2024.

Continued “weak demand” from the commercial and industrial (C&I) and residential segments has negatively impacted SMA Solar’s sales and income in the first quarter of 2025.

Catalyze has secured US$85 million in tax equity investment to support the construction of 75MW of distributed solar projects in the US.

Summit Ridge Energy and Apollo have invested US$400 million to own and operate a portfolio of commercial solar assets in Illinois.

US independent power producer (IPP) Catalyze has secured US$400 million in debt facility from investment firm ATLAS SP Partners.
