It has been a challenging and at times turbulent year for the solar industry, and this uncertainty looks set to continue into 2026. As the new year begins, all eyes will be on key decisions for the industry, including the outcome of the United States\u2019 Section 232 investigations into polysilicon imports, and China’s efforts to rein in PV module oversupply. With talks ongoing, pv magazine’s Vincent Shaw reports on major financial measures being drafted to eliminate the market\u2019s so-called \u2018poly glut\u2019.<\/p>\n
January 2026 kicks off with the World Future Energy Summit (January 13-15) in Abu Dhabi, and ahead of the show this edition looks at how business models for solar and storage in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) markets are evolving.
