Growth in utility-scale and distributed solar PV more than doubles, representing nearly 80% of worldwide renewable electricity capacity expansion. Low module costs, relatively efficient permitting processes and broad social acceptance drive the acceleration in solar PV.
Automation in solar panel production involves leveraging technologies such as robotics, machine learning, and smart sensors to optimize the entire manufacturing process.
In this guide, we demystify four leading standards- IEC 62788-1-1:2024, IEC TS 62257-9-5:2024, IEC TS 62786-2:2026, and SIST EN ISO 9806:2026, each pivotal to different aspects of solar energy engineering.
India's solar power has grown nearly 20 times since December 2015, at an average growth rate of 40% per year. As of 2025, it is now India's third largest source of electricity behind hydro.
The global solar lighting market, estimated at tens of millions of units in 2025, is characterized by a diverse range of players, from established multinational corporations like Philips and Westinghouse Electric Company to specialized solar lighting manufacturers such as Gama.
In just one year, Djibouti has gone from having almost no solar installations and limited technical capacity to hosting several solar companies, trained national engineers and even a facility assembling the first made-in-Djibouti solar panels.
There were 30 thousand tonnes of PV waste in 2021, and the annual amount was estimated by Bloomberg NEF to rise to more than 1 million tons by 2035 and more than 10 million by 2050. For comparison, 750 million tons of waste was produced by coal power in 2022. In the United States, around 90% of decommissioned solar panels end up in landfills as of 2023. Most parts of a solar module can be recycled including up to 95% of certain semiconductor materials or the glass as well as large a.
