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.

India’s renewable energy sector symbolizes hope—for environmental sustainability, economic growth, and global leadership. However, poor execution could derail this vision. The renewable energy industry cannot afford to repeat mistakes seen in infrastructure, where overcommitting and underdelivering have compromised credibility and delayed progress.

As the penetration of variable renewable energy increases, curtailment of solar PV generation will only increase. Since curtailment will almost always be cheaper than investing in new transmission capacity or new grid-scale storage, curtailed energy should be rewarded, so that PV investment decisions can include curtailment as one of the flexibility options for grid operators.

The demand for renewable energy project managers, battery storage specialists, and wind energy technicians is set to grow significantly in 2025. Additionally, positions in solar plant operations, maintenance, and technical roles will remain highly sought after.

Countries worldwide are increasingly implementing customs duties as a strategy to curb imports, protect local industries, and promote domestic growth. These sanctions are only expected to increase further as China continues to dominate the solar manufacturing space.

As the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem extends its footprint, maintaining reliability and efficiency is becoming one of the pressing concerns for industry stakeholders. To achieve this, strategic collaborations with the government and private sectors are being made in a bid to optimise energy distribution based on grid capacity and user demand.

The widespread adoption of hydrogen energy has the potential to reduce India’s annual greenhouse gas emissions by 50 million tonnes by 2030. This transition will not only contribute significantly to global climate goals but also drive economic growth through job creation, increased energy security, and enhanced industrial competitiveness.

Chemical battery storage, led by lithium, has made such significant strides in terms of cost, capacity and technology that batteries are now positioned to accelerate our already exponential solar growth.
