China’s Solar Manufacturers Turn to Energy Storage as Panel Growth Slows

China’s leading solar panel manufacturers are accelerating their move into energy storage as photovoltaic panel sales face slower growth, weaker demand, and record-low prices. The shift reflects a broader market transition: solar companies are no longer competing only on panel supply, but increasingly on integrated solar-plus-storage solutions for global renewable energy projects.

Rising Aluminium Prices Add New Cost Pressure to U.S. Commercial Solar Projects

A sharp increase in aluminium prices is adding new cost pressure to U.S. commercial solar projects, especially because aluminium is widely used in mounting systems, frames, racks and balance-of-system components. For IKOS, the issue highlights a broader lesson for clean-energy deployment: renewable energy competitiveness depends not only on module prices, but also on metals, logistics, tariffs, financing and supply-chain resilience.
