signals in time.

pv magazine reports that distributed solar is expected to reach 92 GW by 2036. The report also notes that the growth of decentralized generation is expected to create operational challenges, particularly in integrating distributed energy resources, coordinating generation and demand, and maintaining system flexibility. The provided context does not specify the country or source of the projection.

PV Magazine reports that PV systems are increasingly deployed in environments with diverse stressors, from alpine snow loads to desert dust and tropical humidity. The article argues that as solar expands into these regions, project design should look beyond nameplate efficiency and center on the climate systems will face for decades.

Samsung C&T's Australian renewables arm has referred an 800MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at Darnum in Victoria's Gippsland region to the federal government under Australia's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act. The report covers the referral step only and mentions no approval decision.

Pebble has upgraded its 2027 Flow, turning the fifth-wheel trailer into a microgrid intended to power both adventures and the home. CleanTechnica notes Pebble was among the first fifth-wheel makers to bundle automotive-grade lithium batteries, rooftop solar and public EV charging into a tech-centric living space.

ITER published an item titled "A little science, a lot of curiosity." The available context is sparse, containing only the title and a timestamp, with no details about the article's content or subject matter.

An ITER article argues that the removal of the first radial beam is a good sign of progress. The feed item provides only the headline and publication details, with no further technical details.

The new $179 Fitbit Edge tracker features an OLED screen, week-long battery life, and Pixel Watch smarts.

Power group Engie has put a 142MW/802MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Chile into operation, while IPP Grenergy has secured financing for the fifth and final stage of its Oasis de Atacama solar-plus-storage project, reported at 1,769MWh in the headline.

South African utility Eskom has launched a qualification process to select strategic partners for up to 6 GW of renewable energy and storage projects, including at least 2 GW of solar and 1 GW/4 GWh of battery storage. Selected developers will join a five-year co-development and investment framework.

Researchers in Indonesia found through simulations that higher soil resistivity significantly increases lightning-induced overvoltage in PV systems, while multiple grounding points and connections closer to the lightning strike location can substantially reduce transient voltages, by up to 55%.

Energy Dome has opened a new manufacturing plant in Italy. The facility will supply components for long-duration energy storage (LDES) projects in India, the United States and Ireland.

Draft rules for South Korea's new renewables auction market, reported by pv magazine, provide for monthly difference payments from Korea Electric Power Corp. (Kepco), a separate track for projects up to 500 kW, and an exit route for renewable energy certificate (REC) spot-market sellers. The market is intended to replace the renewable quota system.

A Utility Dive article says battery storage is expanding rapidly, reshaping power systems and supporting a more flexible grid. The headline indicates it addresses how utilities can trust storage to perform, but the supplied context is sparse and provides no further details.

ITER has announced its 4th Public-Private Workshop. The feed item contains only the headline and publication details, with no dates, venue, or agenda provided.

Risen Energy has unveiled an anti-glare heterojunction solar module featuring a dual-layer optical design and a power output of up to 730 W. The bifacial panel achieves a maximum efficiency of 23.5% and has received Class AAA anti-glare certification from TÜV Rheinland.

Wood Mackenzie's global storage outlook projects seven-fold growth by 2035, passing 7 TWh, with falling costs and policy support accelerating battery storage in emerging and advancing markets. C&I storage is described as a 'sleeping giant waking up'.

A Wood Mackenzie report says four-hour battery storage is now cheaper than open-cycle gas peakers in 43 modeled markets, though tariffs threaten near-term U.S. cost gains.
