Exploring the future of legacy commercial solar.

For the first month on record, solar generated more electricity than coal in the United States, marking another milestone in the country's changing power mix.

When a commercial solar inverter fails, the panels may still work, but the system can stop producing usable power. As older projects age, replacing obsolete equipment is becoming a major challenge and a growing opportunity for repowering.

Mexico has surpassed 5 GW of distributed solar, driven by hundreds of thousands of rooftop installations that are reshaping how electricity is generated across the country.

FERC approved PJM's expedited interconnection process, allowing a limited number of large power projects to move through the queue faster as electricity demand continues to rise.

U.S. solar is adding record capacity, but today's growth reflects projects approved under earlier incentives. The next phase will depend on how developers adapt to changing federal policy.

A storm destroyed a solar plant in France. The rebuild doubled its capacity on the same land, showing how repowering can turn setbacks into upgrades.
