GlobalData says hydrogen capacity could reach 82.3 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) by 2030, while Topsoe has ended supply agreements with First Ammonia.

China's National Energy Administration (NEA) says newly installed solar capacity reached 32.48 GW in the first two months of 2026, while the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association (CNMIA) says polysilicon prices fell by as much as 7.95% in the latest week.

An industry analysis argues that agrivoltaic systems using trackers or vertical designs can outperform conventional solar on both revenues and land use, challenging conclusions from a recent German study.

The European Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating an unnamed solar company after it breached conditions of a public tender for the co-financing of small solar plants. The office says house searches were carried out this week by Slovenian police, leading to the seizure of documents, electronic data and devices.

Quantica dijo a <b>pv magazine</b> que el sistema fotovoltaico consta de 4 inversores SigenStor y 170 paneles Risen de 600 Wp. La instalación generaría 148.614 kWh anuales, y cubriría el 53% de la demanda directa, mediante un contrato PPA.

Desde el inicio de ataque de Estados Unidos e Israel a Irán, la generación renovable ha evitado el equivalente a aproximadamente 330 TWh de generación con gas, lo que se traduce en un ahorro potencial superior a 40.000 millones de dólares.

Greener says Brazil imported 17.9 GWp of PV modules in 2025, with distributed generation accounting for 79% of volumes despite a slowdown in installations.
