Exploring the future of legacy commercial solar.
With Corning’s new wafer plant in Michigan, the U.S. can now produce every part of a solar panel domestically, from silicon to finished modules. It marks the first fully onshored solar supply chain in American history, boosting energy security, jobs, and manufacturing independence. The next challenge is keeping this momentum stable.
South Korea now requires all public parking lots with 80+ spaces to install solar canopies, turning everyday infrastructure into power generators. The policy could add 3 GW of new solar by 2030, showing how urban spaces can double as clean energy hubs without using new land.
Entergy Arkansas and Google are teaming up on Project Pyramid — a 600 MW solar farm with 350 MW of battery storage to power Google’s new $4 billion data center in West Memphis. The project boosts Arkansas’s solar capacity by nearly 20% and signals how clean energy is becoming essential infrastructure for the AI-driven economy.
Spain doubled wind and solar and cut gas's role in setting power prices from 75% of hours to 19%. How it decoupled prices and what the U.S. can learn.
Georgia Power is ramping up its clean energy capacity with a 500-MW battery storage RFP, aiming to boost reliability and integrate renewables. Following new approvals for over 1 GW of solar, the utility’s plan positions storage as a cornerstone of Georgia’s future grid.
New Jersey passed a bill requiring data centers to report energy and water use quarterly. The governor sent it back. What it would do and why it matters.
