Further upstream

Solar manufacturing is reaching a turning point in the United States and India, as both strive to strengthen domestic output and address supply chain gaps and planning mishaps.
India now hosts a well established module manufacturing capacity, and its push into the cell and wafer segment is gathering strength. And this domestic PV industry is increasingly supported by equally ambitious moves into the green hydrogen and energy storage supply chains as India’s energy transition continues to take shape.

Description

Elsewhere, Australia is going all in on big batteries. And we profile First Nations groups Down Under as they deal with the difficulties of bringing solar power to their remote, Outback villages. Despite the challenges they face, their can-do attitude and willingness to be a blueprint for other groups across Australia is inspiring.
Pakistan has seen unprecedented growth in PV imports in 2024. Amid module oversupply, developers are pushing for market liberalization while the state and utilities drag their heels. Meanwhile, Iranian solar is suffering from a failure to launch due to lack of infrastructure and other challenges. With the country experiencing blackouts caused by energy deficits, perhaps solar could be its salvation.
