Renew. Rethink. Read.
Exploring the future of legacy commercial solar.
Clean energy sources produced more electricity than fossil fuels in the U.S. for the first time on record in March 2026, driven by strong wind and solar output and supported by growing battery deployment.
Japan built nearly 100 GW of solar under fixed-price contracts. As those deals expire, projects are shifting to market-based revenue, forcing owners to rethink financing, performance, and long-term value.
Perovskite-silicon tandem solar is moving from lab results to real production. A new U.S. factory is testing whether higher-efficiency panels can be manufactured at scale, but key questions on durability and consistency remain.
A proposed 9 GW data center in Utah plans to generate its own power and operate largely off-grid. The scale raises questions about water use, infrastructure readiness, and how projects this large impact local systems.
AI data center expansion isn’t being held back by capital, it’s being slowed by shortages of transformers, switchgear, and batteries. With lead times stretching up to five years, nearly half of planned U.S. projects could face delays or cancellation.
A 270 MW solar and 360 MWh storage project in Texas is now online, with all output secured through corporate PPAs. The project shows how solar, storage, and long-term contracts are being combined to manage price volatility in ERCOT.
