Someone’s attacking SolarWinds WHD to steal high‑privilege credentials

Someone’s attacking SolarWinds WHD to steal high‑privilege credentials

Digital intruders exploited buggy SolarWinds Web Help Desk (WHD) instances in December to break into victims’ IT environments, move laterally, and steal high-privilege credentials, according to Microsoft researchers. But one mystery remains: which flaw in the popular help-desk ticketing app did the unknown miscreants abuse in these attacks? “We have not yet confirmed whether the

Solar Energy UK expects lower solar strike price in forthcoming UK renewables auction result

Solar Energy UK expects lower solar strike price in forthcoming UK renewables auction result

Using 2024-benchmarked prices, the solar strike price was £64.09/MWh in AR4, £65.49/MWh in AR5, and then, of course, £72.92/MWh in AR6, which awarded contracts to 3.3GW of solar PV.  Factoring in a “healthy” solar project pipeline and the £310 million budget allocated (this is for all technologies that are not offshore wind), SEUK predicts a 9-16% discount

Trees May Not Anticipate Solar Eclipses, Calling Past Research Into Question

Trees May Not Anticipate Solar Eclipses, Calling Past Research Into Question

Solar eclipses have been shown to confuse animals and disrupt their typical routines, but how do trees respond to this phenomenon? A Royal Society Open Science study published in April 2025 asserted that trees can anticipate a solar eclipse before it takes place, but some scientists have taken issue with this idea. A new paper

Winter Storm Fern disrupts North American solar in late January

Winter Storm Fern disrupts North American solar in late January

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that January 2026 began with relatively mild, solar-favorable conditions across much of the eastern U.S., but ended with Winter Storm Fern, as a polar vortex disruption triggered widespread cold, clouds, and sharply reduced solar generation. A rare S4-level solar radiation storm was

Despite global appetite for clean tech, cost and practicality limit uptake

Despite global appetite for clean tech, cost and practicality limit uptake

Public interest in clean technologies is widespread, but the path to large‑scale adoption remains rocky. According to a recent survey by Trellis data partner GlobeScan, in conjunction with Chatham House, interest in clean tech such as solar panels and electric vehicles is robust. In emerging markets in Africa and the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin

Modeling subcell degradation rates in perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules

Modeling subcell degradation rates in perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules

Researchers in the Netherlands developed a model to identify tolerable degradation rates of the top cell in perovskite-silicon tandem modules. Simulations showed that an increase in tandem module efficiency from 28.0% to 32.9% could raise the tolerable degradation rate by approximately 50%… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/02/06/modelling-subcell-degradation-rates-in-perovskite-silicon-tandem-modules/
