Argentina’s distributed generation sector is rapidly expanding due to higher electricity tariffs, lower equipment costs, and shorter solar project payback periods of around 3–4 years. Growth has accelerated since 2019, reaching over 4,000 user-generators and 143 MW installed, with strong private-sector-driven adoption. May 9, 2026 Luis Ini From pv magazine Latam Argentina’s distributed generation (DG) […]
The latest bulletin from Generadoras de Chile highlights the continued expansion of BESS systems linked to solar plants, with over 2.5 GW in operation and an additional 6.3 GW under construction, amid rising renewable energy curtailment and transmission grid congestion in southern Chile… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/05/09/solar-pv-accounted-for-29-of-electricity-generation-in-chile-in-march-with-instantaneous-peaks-reaching-75/
Solar PV’s growth over the past couple of years was driven by an increase in rooftop solar under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana programme, which aims to install rooftop solar systems in ten million households across India. Since its launch in 2024, the programme has added nearly 10GW of rooftop PV capacity between

The report introduced a new project-level metric, “firm levelised cost of electricity (LCOE)”, to assess the cost of delivering continuous electricity from hybrid systems combining solar PV, onshore wind and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Firm solar-plus-storage costs fell to US$54–82/MWh in 2025 in high-resource regions, with further declines to below US$50/MWh expected by 2035, according to IRENA.
Solar PV and storage cost declines drive rapid fall in ‘firm LCOE’, says IRENA Read More »
