From panels to complete energy systems: The evolution of India’s rooftop solar market
Rooftop solar is moving from being a supplementary solution to becoming a central component of India’s energy architecture. The next phase of growth will not be defined by panel installations alone but by how effectively generation is integrated with storage, digital intelligence, and grid infrastructure.

Suzlon strengthens leadership to support full-stack renewable expansion
Suzlon has formed a Group Executive Council (GEC), elevated JP Chalasani to the GEC, and appointed a new group CEO to drive its business transformation from a wind energy solutions provider to a full-stack renewable energy solutions conglomerate.
Hycosys raises $1 million from MGF Kavachh to develop hydrogen-compatible micro gas turbines
The seed round will aid in accelerating system integration, pilot deployments, and fuel the commercialisation roadmap of the Hycosys’ indigenous hydrogen-compatible micro gas turbine platform with applications across distributed power, aerospace and mobility.
Inside the PV recycling black box
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.
India’s electricity transition unfolds unevenly across states
A new report by IEEFA and Ember finds that India’s electricity transition is unfolding differently across states, shaped by variations in resource endowments, development pathways, and institutional capacities. While some states are already leading in renewable energy deployment and grid readiness, others are building momentum, presenting significant opportunities for accelerated progress through targeted, state-specific policy interventions.

China wafer prices fall for fourth week as discounting deepens under inventory pressure
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.
The effects of solar module elevation on ground-mounted PV
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.
