Solar has lost one of its brightest minds and kindest souls. PV Tech remembers Frédéric Dross, who died in a skiing accident on 17 February.

As storage capacity installation grew in double digits during Q4 2024, added solar PV grew by 6% year-on-year to 242MW in Q4 2024.

Fabral will join a number of other US steel manufacturers supplying racking and tubing to the US solar industry.

US tech giants Meta and Microsoft have both respectively signed solar PV agreements with developers Cypress Creek Renewables and Silicon Ranch in the US.

The deal values National Grid Renewables - the US project development arm of the UK's National Grid - at approximately US$1.735 billion.

Louth Callan Renewables has been awarded permission to build three solar projects, with a combined capacity of 121MW, in Illinois.

The deal follows the start of production at ES Foundry’s 3GW nameplate capacity manufacturing plant in January.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has forecast 63GW of new utility-scale additions in 2025, led by solar PV.

Even if added later, storage should not be overlooked in the design and building phase when co-locating with solar PV, write Grant Reasor, Joshua Tucker and Dan Rollins Burns & McDonnell.
