Recent industry checks suggest the possibility of another reconciliation bill is moving from speculation to something the market should monitor more closely. Discussions in Washington, DC, indicate policymakers may be evaluating additional changes to energy provisions, including measures that could support domestic manufacturing while potentially creating new challenges for project developers. https://lnkd.in/ggRzfgGD #SolarEnergy #EnergyPolicy #OBBBA #EnergyFinance #EnergyTransition

The details behind this new analysis form the backdrop to the content that will be presented on-stage at Solar Manufacturing USA 2026 in Austin, Texas on 22-23 September 2026 – the first event to be held in the United States dedicated exclusively to domestic PV production, equipment supply, technologies deployed and materials supply-chains. 🎟️ Get your ticket today: https://lnkd.in/gUy5B3en

The California-based company says its technology is the perfect match for data centers, providing low-degradation long-duration energy storage while serving as a middle layer between the grid and highly volatile power needs of data centers. Now it's set to prove it. #SolarEnergy #USEnergy #EnergyStorage

An outdated, "one-size-fits-all" approach to grading grid capacity holds back clean energy deployment, but specialized toolkits provide state regulators with a path toward grid optimization, finds a report from Freeing the Grid, a joint initiative of the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) and Vote Solar. #SolarEnergy #USEnergy #EnergyStorage

A new report from SEIA and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence highlights a 32% year-over-year surge in the battery market, driving an upward revision to the nation’s five-year deployment pipeline despite mounting regulatory gridlock. #SolarEnergy #USEnergy #EnergyStorage

International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Director-General Francesco La Camera said the agency’s revised roadmap shows that electrification with renewables serves multiple policy goals.

DNV has published two new guidelines covering the structural design of floats for floating solar systems and their mooring and station keeping systems. #SolarEnergy #USEnergy #EnergyStorage

The Plug and Play Solar Act, which passed on a 35-1 vote, would allow portable solar generation devices with up to 1,200 watts of output to connect to a building through a standard outlet. The bill now moves to the state Assembly, which has until August 31 to pass it during the current session. #SolarEnergy #USEnergy #EnergyStorage
