Global solar module prices stable-to-soft as markets absorb news of U.S. election, policy changes
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.
Solar panel price drop in November may mark end of downward trend
Martin Schachinger, founder of pvXchange.com, says the 8% price drop in November for solar modules could mark the end of sustained declines, as market signals are pointing to a possible recovery.
Unlocking the potential of radiative cooling for photovoltaic modules
Radiative cooling is an emerging technology that holds the potential to enhance the performance and longevity of PV modules. Researchers from the Institute of Nanotechnology of Lyon explain how this technology may reach commercial maturity.
Building self-reliance in the solar value chain
A multi-pronged policy mix has been adopted by the government to promote solar adoption. In the Budget 2024-25, a corpus of INR 10,000 crore was allocated to promote the solar industry, a 110% increase from the previous year. Solar manufacturing equipment have been exempt from the basic customs duty list to boost domestic manufacturing. In contrast, there is a 10% customs duty on the import of solar glass as we currently have enough capacity to meet all our domestic requirements.
Integrating green hydrogen in steel production
Transitioning the steel industry to green hydrogen will be a complex journey, but the groundwork is already being laid. India’s pilot projects, along with sustained investment in renewable energy and hydrogen infrastructure, create a strong foundation for a cleaner future.
