The US distributed solar sector added 808,349 new operational systems in 2023, a record figure for a 12-month period.

Several Chinese provinces have suspended the approval of new distributed PV projects amid concerns over available grid capacity.

India added around 12.2GW of new solar capacity in the first half of the year, according to figures from JMK Research.

SMA Solar has published its latest financial results, reporting sales of €759.3 million (US$829.4 million) in the first half of the year.

Pivot Energy has signed an agreement with Microsoft to develop 500MW of community-scale solar capacity across the US between 2025 and 2029.

Wood Mackenzie and the CCSA expect the US community solar sector to add 7.3GW of new capacity in the next five years.

Last year saw 96GW of distributed PV installed in China, an all-time record. But as Carrie Xiao reports, even as the distributed market segment begins to surge, problems associated with its rapid development are beginning to emerge.

Distributed solar PV, and hybrid PV, systems can play a key role in providing grid balancing mechanisms, according to the IEA.

India has published its latest budget, which includes a plan to install new rooftop solar systems on ten million homes across the country.
