The latest installation data for the second quarter of 2026 (Q2 2026) is now available. This quarterly statistics report from Solar Insights provides a detailed breakdown of India’s solar performance, identifying key trends and sector-specific metrics during this critical period. Q2 2026: Top-Line Performance India added a massive [Total GW Value] of new solar capacity […]
The days of choosing solar panels solely on price are over. For developers of large-scale projects and high-value rooftop installations, the primary metrics are now efficiency and degradation over time. This technical report compares the two leading high-efficiency solar cell technologies dominating new manufacturing lines in Q3 2026: TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) and HJT […]
India’s energy landscape is undergoing a massive transformation. As of August 2026, renewable energy (RE)—led primarily by solar—accounts for an ever-increasing share of India’s power mix. This in-depth report from Solar Insights analyzes the market outlook for the next five years (2026–2030), tracking India’s ambitious journey toward its 2030 goal of 500 GigaWatts (GW) of […]
Achieving India’s clean energy goals requires more than just installing solar panels. A critical new report from a leading energy think-tank states that India must invest approximately $20 billion annually into its transmission grid infrastructure for the next decade to successfully integrate the planned renewable capacity additions. The Grid Integration Challenge Solar and wind power […]

AGEL has announced that its entire operational portfolio, encompassing all its solar and wind power plants, has been operationally certified as ‘Zero Waste-to-Landfill’ by a reputable global certification body. What is ‘Zero Waste-to-Landfill’? This certification means that […]
Rajasthan is not resting on its laurels. Home to the world’s largest operational solar power park, the Bhadla Solar Park, the state government has officially commenced groundwork for a massive expansion project. Following recent regulatory approvals, this phase aims to add another 2 GigaWatts (GW) of capacity to the park by the end of 2027. […]
The solar industry is enjoying a period of remarkable price stability. Following the significant price drops reported in previous quarters (including the 12% drop in Q2 2024 mentioned in image_5.png), a new report confirms that global solar module prices have remained at record lows entering Q3 2026. This stability is providing a huge boost to […]
