According to the latest data released by Sinovoltaics, Türkiye’s operational solar PV module manufacturing capacity has reached 13.2 GW. This figure exceeds the combined module-making capacity (9.7 GW) of Italy, Germany, Spain, France and the Netherlands. The country currently boasts roughly 2.5 GW of solar cell production capacity and 1.2 GW of wafer manufacturing capacity. More than 20 manufacturers are active in the module segment, while cell production is dominated by only two local players. Türkiye’s annual domestic PV demand stands at approximately 4 GW, meaning the majority of its manufacturing capacity is oriented toward overseas sales. Turkish PV products enjoy favourable conditions under current US trade rules. Unlike Chinese solar goods subject to heavy Section 301 tariffs and Southeast Asian shipments burdened by anti-dumping and countervailing duties, Turkish-produced modules face no such trade barriers. This has driven manufacturers including HT Solar, Smart Solar Technologies and Kalyon PV to expand exports to the United States and the European Union. Nevertheless, insufficient domestic cell capacity limits the volume of fully locally-produced photovoltaic goods that Türkiye can supply. Besides export volumes, a portion of installed capacity stays under-utilized, reflecting the widespread global oversupply of PV modules across the industry. Multiple newly-announced cell and wafer projects have not yet started operation; these facilities are expected to come into service between 2027 and 2030 to further strengthen Türkiye’s domestic photovoltaic supply chain.

Australia is planning to expand the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) to support rooftop solar systems of up to 1 MW, targeting commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings. The expanded scheme is expected to take effect on October 1, 2026. Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen said the policy would help more businesses switch from fossil fuels to solar, reduce electricity costs and unlock Australia’s largely untapped commercial rooftop solar market. According to government estimates, the expanded scheme is expected to reduce the installation costs of solar PV systems for commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings by around 20%. For example, a 250 kW rooftop solar system could receive an upfront incentive of approximately A$68,000, while an 850 kW system could save around A$232,000. Bowen added that these systems would help businesses reduce their annual electricity costs. The government will also ask the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) to consider rule changes requiring network operators to process commercial and industrial solar connection applications more quickly, reducing the barriers businesses face when seeking grid connection approval for larger-scale projects. Australia currently has approximately 22 GW of residential rooftop solar, compared with only 5.6 GW of commercial and industrial installations. However, the technical potential of commercial, industrial and agricultural rooftops is estimated to exceed 80 GW.The government is also considering faster grid connection approvals for commercial and industrial solar projects to reduce delays and accelerate deployment. The Smart Energy Council welcomed the announcement, highlighting the significant potential of unused warehouse, factory and agricultural rooftops to contribute to Australia’s clean energy transition.The SRES expansion could open a major new growth opportunity for Australia’s commercial and industrial solar market.

Italy's Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) recently announced the preliminary list of selected self-consumption photovoltaic (PV) projects for businesses in southern Italy. A total of 566 projects successfully advanced to the evaluation stage, with requested subsidies totaling approximately €59 million. However, given the program's total budget of €262 million, more than €200 million in funds remains unallocated. This subsidy program was launched in October 2025 under Ministerial Decree No. 424/2025. The original application deadline was March 3 of this year but was officially extended to July 3 to broaden participation among eligible enterprises and ensure full utilization of the allocated budget. Preliminary review results indicate that the largest funding request came from MI.LO. Srl, a company based in the Puglia region, with a project involving a total investment exceeding €30 million. Additionally, SGMImpianti Srl, a company from Sicily, achieved the highest overall score, performing best across the majority of evaluation criteria. Italy's Energy Services Manager (GSE) has now initiated the technical review phase. Projects will be evaluated based on their ranking, with a focus on verifying the completeness of documentation and compliance with tender requirements. Companies must submit any necessary supplementary information within 30 days. To qualify for this incentive program, PV systems must have a rated capacity between 10 kW and 1 MW, making them suitable for commercial and industrial rooftops, production facilities, and SME energy needs. Subsidy rates vary by company size and project type: standard PV projects can receive support covering 38%–58% of investment costs, while PV-thermal systems qualify for higher rates of 43%–63%. If a battery energy storage system is included, the storage component is eligible for investment support ranging from 28% to 48%. The number of applications in this round was relatively low compared to the available budget, meaning significant funds remain accessible to companies looking to reduce electricity costs through on-site renewable energy generation.

Recently, Namibia officially announced a $1.76 billion strategic plan to expand renewable energy. The plan sets a clear target: by 2030, the country’s installed renewable energy capacity will reach 454 MW, and the share of clean energy in electricity generation will increase from the current 54% to 70%. According to reports, $411 million of the plan’s funding will come from the private sector, while the remaining funds will be sourced through public financing and multilateral cooperation. Namibia’s Minister of Mines and Energy, Natangwe Ithete, pointed out that over half of the country’s electricity currently relies on imports. The high cost of imported power not only drives up tariffs but also strains foreign exchange reserves. “Reducing dependence on external electricity has become a key factor in ensuring national economic stability,” he said. To ensure the plan is implemented, the Namibian government will introduce a series of supporting measures to attract investment. In terms of market mechanisms, the procurement process for independent power producers will be simplified, the single-buyer market scope expanded, and large consumers will be allowed to purchase electricity directly from power plants. On the technology integration side, incentive policies will be introduced for battery energy storage systems to facilitate the efficient integration of renewable energy into the grid. Currently, the country’s first battery storage project is in the design and construction phase, with commercial operation planned for 2026, which will provide experience for future storage projects. It is worth noting that this plan also reflects Namibia’s vision to become a regional power hub. The country plans to build cross-border transmission lines connecting Angola, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, strengthening energy security through regional electricity trade. Previously, the Kunene–Omatando substation, constructed by a Chinese company, was officially put into operation. It now serves as a key node connecting Namibia’s power network with neighboring countries, laying the foundation for regional energy integration. Namibia’s ambitious renewable energy strategy presents significant opportunities for global solar industry participants.

On December 1, the World Bank announced a $6 billion investment to develop the South Johor Renewable Energy Corridor project in Malaysia. The project, with a capacity of 4 GW/5.12 GWh, is being advanced by the International Finance Corporation, Johor’s investment agency PDT, and local energy company Ditrolic Energy. It marks a key milestone in implementing the ASEAN Power Grid initiative. The project plans to deploy large-scale solar and energy storage facilities across an area of approximately 2,000 square kilometers in Johor, focusing on solar resources in the Kota Tinggi and Mersing regions. As a core energy component of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone master plan, the project is set to become a top-tier clean power production hub in Southeast Asia, supplying electricity directly via cross-border transmission systems to power-strapped Singapore. According to data from Singapore’s Energy Market Authority, the country plans to import 6 GW of low-carbon electricity by 2035, accounting for one-third of its energy demand at that time. An IFC representative stated that the project’s low-cost renewable electricity will meet both local business needs in Johor and the energy demands of regional hyperscale data centers and manufacturing industries. This aligns with Johor’s call for high-efficiency energy solutions following its suspension of low-efficiency data centers. As a core node of the ASEAN Power Grid initiative, this project resonates with the recent ASEAN Grid Financing Initiative jointly launched by the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank. Current cross-border interconnection capacity in ASEAN stands at 7.7 GW and is planned to double by 2040, with the South Johor Corridor providing critical support toward this goal. CEO of Ditrolic Energy, Tan Chee Aun, noted that Johor-based enterprises will leverage this corridor to strengthen their clean energy export capabilities, laying a solid foundation for low-carbon transformation in regional industries. Industry analysis suggests that the project’s integrated solar-plus-storage model effectively addresses the intermittency challenges of renewable energy. It not only supports Malaysia’s goal of increasing renewable energy generation by 2030 but also offers Singapore a new pathway for diversifying its energy imports. As the project progresses, regional energy cooperation in Southeast Asia is entering a substantive phase, providing a key demonstration for ASEAN’s $764 billion grid construction plan.

The European Union has introduced new regulations requiring all newly built or significantly upgraded energy storage and renewable energy projects above 1MW to possess Grid-Forming capabilities. This represents a major transition from passive grid connection to active participation in maintaining Grid Stability. These systems will operate similarly to synchronous generators by autonomously regulating voltage and frequency, helping to ensure a reliable and resilient power system as renewable penetration continues to grow. According to the Phase II technical report released by ENTSO-E, grid-forming energy storage systems must meet several essential technical requirements. They must maintain voltage stability during frequency or phase fluctuations, provide rapid reactive current, and remain synchronized without external references. In terms of performance, the systems are required to achieve response times of less than 10 milliseconds and a power oscillation damping rate of at least 5%. In addition, they must supply millisecond-level Synthetic Inertia, comparable to a virtual synchronous machine, to effectively support frequency control and minimize the impact of sudden grid disturbances. These systems also need to pass strict disturbance tolerance tests, including voltage dips, step changes, and phase angle jumps, to confirm stable operation under challenging conditions. The NC RfG 2.0 regulation is expected to be finalized in 2026, followed by a typical transition period of around three years. Consequently, most projects will need to comply fully by 2028–2029. Developers should therefore begin upgrading control systems, PCS technology, and testing solutions to ensure readiness and long-term compliance.
