India's new solar rule mandates locally made solar cells for rooftop projects from June 1, likely raising installation costs, tightening supplies and putting pressure on smaller manufacturers.

Installing rooftop solar panels in India? New rules could make them costlier – Here’s why

Rising oil and gas prices are pushing households and businesses around the world toward rooftop solar power at an unprecedented pace. As the global energy crisis drives up electricity bills and fuels uncertainty in energy markets, solar adoption is accelerating across both developed and developing economies. Governments are also increasing support for renewable energy as countries look to reduce dependence on expensive fossil fuels and strengthen long-term energy security.


Global Energy Crisis Massive Rooftop Solar Boom Worldwide

China, the US, and India dominate solar power in 2025, producing most of the world’s clean electricity from sunlight. These ten nations collectively account for more than two-thirds of global solar production. Know more below.

'Uptober' trading has started with a bang after positive moves across the board last month. Global stocks along with Wall Street shares repeatedly hit fresh record highs despite the vaired risks in September. Cryptos were not left behind, with Bitcoin reversing an early setback to recover and edge towards its record high set in August. On the other hand, safe haven demand pushed gold to become a big winner. October is predicted to be broadly similar, with a few tinkering on the edges in trade moves.

After decades of phenomenal expansion, the energy industry is now seeing its first speed bumps. This year, solar power is experiencing some growth problems of its own and is attempting to mimic an opec-style agreement. Take a look at this next report as we decode if that strategy will work for solar power producers.

India's creaking power firms are hampering the country's energy transition ambitions. The electricity distribution industry has long struggled with mismanaged finances and spotty service. Power generation has advanced significantly in recent decades, with the expansion of supply to meet surging demand. The addition of more than 100 GigaWatts of renewable energy capacity in only the previous decade has also helped.

India's first solar probe to blast off on September 2 after last week’s successful moon touchdown, Aditya-L1, first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun. Aditya, meaning "Sun" in Hindi, will be fired into a halo orbit in a region of space about 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, providing the craft with a continuous clear view of the Sun.

The sun is getting angry; Should you really worry about solar flares?

India’s ground-breaking One Sun One World One Grid initiative can position India as a leader in renewable energy transition and has the potential to reshape global energy dynamics. Dr Ajay Mathur, Director General of the International Solar Alliance discusses India's solar energy mission which could prove to be a game-changer in providing clean energy to the world.
