Nersa state that solar installations meeting these specifications must be registered

The regulator stated on that installations either side of a generation threshold had to register with either Eskom, the municipality or Nersa. The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) has reiterated the registration requirements for solar installations after a civil society group called disconnection threats “impractical, irrational, and unfair”.

Early tropical storm cuts solar in Philippines, while East Asia sees La Niña gains

Early tropical storm cuts solar in Philippines, while East Asia sees La Niña gains

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that in January most of East Asia experienced normal to above-average solar irradiance, with southeastern China seeing surges due to reduced clouds and low aerosol levels under lingering La Niña effects. In contrast… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/01/30/early-tropical-storm-cuts-solar-in-philippines-while-east-asia-sees-la-nina-gains/

Study finds much lower-than-expected degradation in 1980s and 1990s solar modules

Study finds much lower-than-expected degradation in 1980s and 1990s solar modules

Researchers at SUPSI found that six Swiss PV systems installed in the late 1980s and early 1990s show exceptionally low degradation rates of just 0.16% to 0.24% per year after more than 30 years of operation. The study shows that thermal stress, ventilation, and material design play a greater role in long-term module reliability than
