India’s solar PLI scheme draws strong interest but faces implementation

India’s solar PLI scheme draws strong interest but faces implementation

A new JMK Research and Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) study says India’s solar production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme is spurring upstream manufacturing but remains constrained by policy gaps, capital intensity and volatile global supply chains… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/12/12/indias-solar-pli-scheme-draws-strong-interest-but-faces-implementation/

Small islands, big impact: the role of solar PV for the tropics

Small islands, big impact: the role of solar PV for the tropics

Low-cost renewables provide an opportunity for tropical islands to drive a sustainable, secure and self-sufficient economy. Solar PV emerges as the bulk energy provider, driven by excellent resource conditions and fast-improving economic attractiveness. The anticipated momentum of solar PV in tropical islands can best be characterised as a Solar-to-X Economy… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/12/12/small-islands-big-impact-the-role-of-solar-pv-for-the-tropics/

Solar geoengineering startups are getting serious

Solar geoengineering aims to manipulate the climate by bouncing sunlight back into space. In theory, it could ease global warming. But as interest in the idea grows, so do concerns about potential consequences. A startup called Stardust Solutions recently raised a $60 million funding round, the largest known to date for a geoengineering startup. My

World hits ‘heroic achievement’ of 1TW of operating utility-scale solar capacity

World hits ‘heroic achievement’ of 1TW of operating utility-scale solar capacity

Latest US-based SOLV Energy, which is responsible for 15.5GW of operational capacity, leads the world’s EPC firms. Image: American Public Power Association, Unsplash. The global utility-scale solar PV sector has exceeded the threshold of 1TW of operating capacity, meaning that the cumulative capacity of utility-scale solar in operation has doubled every three years since 2016.
