Global climate change concerns have spurred a flurry of investments in renewable energy sources and other decarbonization initiatives. Efforts to focus on renewables were initiated at the 2016 COP21 in Paris, which led to countries setting renewable energy targets to achieve by 2030 in an attempt to mitigate global warming. More recently, at COP26,...

Third-generation photovoltaics represent a fundamental shift in how solar energy is harvested, integrated, and scaled—moving beyond conventional silicon toward tunable, lightweight, and application-specific photovoltaic materials. By advancing perovskite, organic, tandem, and quantum-dot architectures, the industry is unlocking new capabilities in ...

As the solar energy industry progresses on its path to becoming elemental to global energy supply, newer generation solar cells must overcome the limitations of silicon solar cells used today. These issues include material wastage during manufacturing, inability to provide flexible cell formats, and limitations to theoretical efficiency at a maximu...

This study explores market trends in grid interactive buildings (GIBs), focusing on technologies that enable dynamic energy management and support grid stability. It excludes traditional building management systems that lack grid interactivity, as well as passive upgrades such as insulation or envelope improvements. Revenue forecasts and competitor...

Solar PV accounted for 45% of all power generation investment in 2024, and is forecast to maintain this throughout the next decade. Inflation drove up project costs in 2023, but lower module and PV inverter costs meant costs started to decline in 2023 and continued to decline in 2024–a rarity for the power industry.Residential, commercial, and indu...
