India adds 14.3GW utility-scale solar in H1 2025, up 49% year-on-year

According to JMK’s latest report, India RE Update Q2 2025, rooftop solar additions surged 76% year-on-year to reach 3.2GW during the same period. For the full calendar year, India is projected to add 39GW of solar capacity, including 30.2GW of utility-scale, 7GW of rooftop, and 1.8GW of off-grid projects. By comparison, JMK’s July report had forecasted 28.3GW of utility-scale and rooftop

Inouye Solar Telescope Sees Unprecedented Fine Details in Coronal Flare Loops

Inouye Solar Telescope Sees Unprecedented Fine Details in Coronal Flare Loops

Astronomers using the Visible Broadband Imager at NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured dark coronal loop strands with unprecedented clarity during the decay phase of an X1.3-class flare on August 8, 2024. The loops averaged 48.2 km in width — perhaps as thin as 21 km — the smallest coronal loops ever imaged. This
