Yaskawa America has unveiled plans to move its headquarters to Wisconsin, and invest US$180 million in expanding its operations in the state.

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

Buyers in the European solar sector remain positive about the future of the industry, despite fluctuations in solar module prices.

Independent power producer (IPP) Grenergy has acquired 1GW (298 units) of inverters from Spanish manufacturer Ingeteam for its 2GW/11GWh Oasis de Atacama solar-plus-storage project in Chile. 

Inverters are critical to PV systems but are often over-specified due to inadequate data on which materials and designs optimise performance.

The increasing sophistication of inverters means they have a role in everything from cybersecurity to home energy management.

PV Talk: “It then has gone to 1,500V and we’re on the precipice of another change," ABB's Brian Nelson tells PV Tech Premium.

Asset underperformance cost the global solar sector a record US$10 billion in lost revenue in 2024, according to Raptor Maps.

PV module prices dropped in Europe in December 2024, while the European PV sector remains optimistic about the industry’s long-term growth.
