11+ hour, 48+ min ago   (75+ words) With excursions into space becoming more frequent, and the reasons behind them more commercial, the industry is exploring ways to generate electricity in space at lower cost and larger scale. And these requirements make ‘terrestrial’ silicon PV technology difficult to…...

2+ day, 6+ hour ago   (328+ words) All three events have been running for decades, which shows both the longstanding importance of power systems to space operations and the depth of expertise that has developed around them. However, production capacities for III-V solar devices remain quite limited....

2+ day, 7+ hour ago   (285+ words) The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Integrated Energy Systems Office (IESO) and Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation are seeking innovative techniques to move space based solar power forward.

2+ day, 11+ hour ago   (79+ words) Before the Section 232 tariff announcement, many module buyers were anticipating a roughly $0.03/W to $0.05/W impact, with $0.06/W to $0.07/W generally seen as an upper-end outcome. A consensus formed around a more stringent pricing impact. While the ultimate clearing price…...

4+ day, 7+ hour ago   (411+ words) South Korea’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment (MCEE) launched a new solar industry competitiveness committee on Sept. 10, aiming to rebuild the country’s domestic solar supply chain and secure a foothold in next-generation cell technology. The MCEE said the committee…...

4+ day, 22+ hour ago   (464+ words) Suniva has announced the completion of an $835 million capital raise as it continues the buildout of a new 4.5 GW facility inside a 620,000 square-foot building currently under construction in Laurens County, South Carolina. The infusion of capital includes both debt and…...

5+ day, 8+ hour ago   (458+ words) Pile load testing can therefore be particularly valuable for utility-scale PV projects. Static axial tension and pullout tests can establish actual load-displacement behavior, allowing geotechnical and structural engineers to optimize pile lengths rather than relying solely on conservative correlations. With…...

6+ day, 2+ hour ago   (356+ words) The European Union’s solar market continued to grow in the first half of 2026, with at least 33.8 GW of new capacity installed between January and June. The figure represents a 1.9% increase from the 33.2 GW deployed during the same period in 2025, according to…...

6+ day, 2+ hour ago   (282+ words) The initiative targets cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) technologies, while the ability to process amorphous silicon (a-Si) modules would be considered an advantage. The deadline for submissions is Oct. 21, 2026. Only candidates that participate in the CEI…...
