Controversy has been stirred by plans to develop one of the UK's largest solar farms, covering over 2,000 acres of Oxfordshire countryside, that have polarized public opinion on the project's environmental and economic impact. The Botley West Proposal The £800 million Botley West Solar Farm would be sited over three sites across north Woodstock, west Kidlington, and west Botley. The solar farm proposes the generation of 840MW of electricity to power approximately 330,000 homes, considering that 90 percent of the land is owned by Blenheim Estates, leased to developer Photo…
The rolling open plains of rural Texas have, over time, proved to be quite an unlikely spot for an evolutionary partnership between renewable energy and agriculture. right at the epicenter of such an innovation are sheep, an exemplary solution to solve vegetation management problems that solar farms-presently termed as "solar grazing"-encounter. Solar Farms and Agrivoltaics With the U.S. solar industry rapidly scaling, large areas are being transformed to generate renewable energy. A giant solar farm built by SB Energy in Milam County, Texas, has earned the fifth rank in size…

Pakistan’s solar PV module imports have skyrocketed in recent years, reflecting the country’s ambitious push toward renewable energy. However, a puzzling gap has emerged: while Pakistan imported approximately 27 GW of PV modules between 2020 and 2024, only about 3 GW of capacity is officially accounted for as installed and grid-connected. The big question is—where did the remaining 24 GW of PV modules go? Let’s unravel this mystery while diving into Pakistan’s booming solar market and the factors shaping its development. Pakistan’s Solar Potential and Growing Demand Situated in South Asia, Pakistan enjoys abundant…
The Netherlands has announced the closure of its household PV net metering program from 2027. This is a significant change in how small solar energy systems connect with and work in the country's energy grid. While designed to respond to challenges such as grid congestion and over-subsidization, the move now raises questions about the future of solar adoption in one of Europe's most solar-friendly countries. What is Net Metering, and Why is It Being Phased Out? The Basics of Net Metering Net metering allows household solar PV system owners to offset…
Suniva, once a leading name in U.S. solar manufacturing, has officially resumed production at its Georgia solar cell factory. This marks a significant milestone for American solar manufacturing, as Suniva becomes the first U.S.-based company to re-enter the market with silicon-based solar modules after a prolonged hiatus. Backed by favorable policies and new investments, the company aims to reclaim its place in the solar industry. Why Suniva’s Return Matters Suniva's return isn't just about one company; it symbolizes a broader push for domestic solar manufacturing in the United States. After years…
