Global solar capex rebound in 2026 driven by investment in US and India

The capex rebound is being driven by three key factors. In the US and India, a significant ramp-up in domestic PV capabilities is offsetting reduced capex spending in China and Southeast Asia. Globally, the focus on upstream segments of the solar supply chain is intensifying, driving increased investment in cell manufacturing. Meanwhile, regions such as the Middle East are becoming key players in the global solar manufacturing landscape, with countries such as Egypt and Oman rapidly

Huge solar flare no threat to Artemis 2 astronaut launch to the moon, NASA says

A massive X1.4 solar flare won't endanger NASA's four Artemis 2 astronauts on their way to the moon...

Did solar power cause Spain’s blackout?

Brazil solar imports slow as new China trade routes open

Brazil’s solar imports fell 33% to $722 million in the first four months of 2025 amid project delays and oversupply, as new trade routes began cutting costs and freight times to the country’s North and Northeast regions...

US solar keeps surging, generating more power than hydro in 2025

Under those circumstances, the rest of the difference will be made up for with fossil fuels. Running counter to recent trends, the use of natural gas dropped during the first three months of 2025. This means that the use of coal rose nearly as quickly as demand, up by 23 percent compared to the same

UK Study Maps Solar Urticaria Features and Treatments

TOPLINE: In a multicentre cross-sectional study, the majority of patients with solar urticaria were of European ethnicity, with Fitzpatrick skin phototypes I-III; urticaria provocation was achieved using monochromator phototesting in 94.2% of participants, and omalizumab showed the highest complete response rate at 37.5%. METHODOLOGY: Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study at six tertiary photobiology units in

Partial solar eclipse visible from the UK

People across the UK were able to witness a partial solar eclipse this morning, as the moon passed between the Earth and the sun. It made the sun appear like a crescent with a bite taken out as the moon blocked out part of the light...

How solar power systems might start offering better returns

Proposed changes should lead to New Zealanders with solar power systems on their houses get more of a return for any power they put back into the system...
