India faces rising solar curtailment as grid struggles to adapt – report

India faces rising solar curtailment as grid struggles to adapt – report

Solar met an increasing share of daytime electricity demand in 2025, altering net load patterns. This coincided with weaker-than-forecast daytime demand and limited operational flexibility, particularly from the coal fleet, which must remain online to meet evening peak demand. As coal plants were unable to ramp down further without breaching technical limits, system operators relied […]

Australia consults on Solar Sharer mechanism as rooftop solar reshapes NEM demand

Australia consults on Solar Sharer mechanism as rooftop solar reshapes NEM demand

The initiative would be implemented via the Default Market Offer (DMO) framework, requiring retailers in regulated jurisdictions to make an SSO tariff available from 2026-27. The Solar Sharer programme is designed to respond to structural shifts in Australia’s electricity supply and demand profile driven by rapid growth in distributed PV.  The consultation paper notes that

Australia’s UNSW reveals atomic-scale self-repair mechanism in silicon solar cells

Australia’s UNSW reveals atomic-scale self-repair mechanism in silicon solar cells

The findings, published in Energy & Environmental Science, directly observe chemical bond reconfiguration during degradation and subsequent sunlight-driven recovery, a capability long inferred from electrical measurements but previously unresolved at the material level. Solar cell performance is compromised by ultraviolet-induced degradation (UVID), a decline in efficiency caused by high-energy UV photons interacting with surface layers,
