Under the terms of the deal, Germany’s NexWafe will supply its ultrathin solar wafers to Talon PV’s planned 4.8 GW TOPCon solar cell manufacturing plant in Texas. Initial qualification work will take place at a pilot production line at Fraunhofer ISE’s Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center.

Scientists in Hungary found that ground-mounted PV modules at an intermediate elevation of 1.1 m achieve the highest efficiency and power output due to improved airflow and reduced cell temperature. Their study also estimated a levelized cost of electricity of $0.0843/kWh and 577.78 kg CO₂ mitigation over 25 years, while noting results are specific to concrete surfaces.

The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet has launched the India Grids of the Future Accelerator platform to modernize power distribution, integrate renewable energy and storage, and prepare India’s grids for rapid demand growth.

The International Solar Alliance (ISA) convened a high-level session at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 to advance global dialogue on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the clean energy transition.

Vikram Solar has secured an order to supply 378.75 MW of n-type TOPCon solar modules for a project developed by Indian Oil NTPC Green Energy Pvt Ltd (INGEL), a joint venture between Indian Oil Corp. Ltd and NTPC Green Energy Ltd.

Waaree Clean Energy Solutions will deploy, own and operate alkaline electrolyzer stacks for Zero Footprint Industries Ltd’s decentralized green hydrogen projects across northern India over the next five years. The renewable-powered hydrogen produced will support decarbonization of process industries and inland transport applications.

How PV modules are treated at the end of their life is an increasingly important issue, but some recycling practices leave a lot to be desired. Scott Azevedo from Intertek CEA explores how asking the right questions, paying closer attention to end-of-life treatment, and steering volume toward good recyclers can have positive long-term consequences for the solar industry.

Vikram Solar has signed the agreement to procure 2 GW of high-efficiency TOPCon and mono PERC solar cells from Jupiter International.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

US-based ESS Tech has acquired the assets and intellectual property of Germany’s VoltStorage GmbH to strengthen its long-duration energy storage (LDES) portfolio and combine two iron-based flow battery technologies.

Panasonic has launched a new home fuel cell system for detached houses, designed to boost solar self-consumption through HEMS‑based smart scheduling. The unit generates electricity and heat from gas, supports demand response, and can supply emergency power during outages.

India’s expanding renewable energy base and clean power can play a central role in supporting the next phase of data center growth, supported by smarter power sourcing, stronger grid readiness and coordinated policy action to ensure reliable and sustainable energy at scale, says a new report by Deloitte Asia Pacific.

The global capacity of utility-scale batteries increased more than 12-fold between 2020 and 2024 to 124 GW, while average battery costs fell 58% over the period, according to the Electricity 2026 report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
