Solar PV potential at one of the world’s northernmost settlements

Researchers evaluated solar photovoltaic potential in Norway's northernmost settlement to support fossil fuel transition, analyzing Arctic challenges including snow, ice, permafrost, and seasonal irradiance variations. The study identified strong summer PV generation capacity and substantial rooftop availability, demonstrating effective integration with wind power and energy storage systems for renewable energy transition.

Australian grid operator announces curtailment drill for rooftop PV

South Australia’s grid operator will complete its annual test of its ability to temporarily curtail rooftop solar generation on August 25. Solar systems in the state will be curtailed for up to one hour, expected to cause the loss of around 1.5 kWh of generation per installation.

The summer solar carried the water

Europe’s hydro fleet produced less power in the summer of 2026 than it did in the drought summer of 2022, and reservoir stocks finished the period 7.7% below their eleven-year median with France under its historical floor. Over those same four years solar generation across the affected systems rose by 39 TWh. That surplus is now visibly reorganizing the rest of the fleet: reservoir hydro has withdrawn from the middle of the day, and pumped storage has moved its charging window from the pre-dawn hours into the middle of the day, with the peak charging hour shifting from around 04:00 to between 13:00 and 14:00, and the correlation between hourly solar output and hourly pumping rising from zero to 0.86 in six summers.
