solar policy has taken some sharp turns—thanks to big legislative moves and regulatory shakeups. Federal incentives are shrinking, timelines are shifting, and recent court rulings are making their mark on project permitting and the future of renewable energy on.
As of February 2025, 24 states and the District of Columbia have policies that enable community solar, 20 (83%) of which include provisions for low- and moderate-income households.
The project encompasses the construction of a solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) minigrid to be built on the island of Buka, within the autonomous region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea.
The Treasury has confirmed 0% VAT on energy-saving materials until 31 January 2027. Installations must be completed before this date. After January 2027, VAT could return to 5% or higher.
With an ambitious target of generating 40% of the nation's electricity from solar sources by 2035, the law establishes unprecedented tax credits for solar installations, streamlines permitting processes, and allocates $50 billion for grid modernization projects.
The proposed project will combine wind, solar, battery energy storage and green hydrogen to help local industry decarbonise. Endesa will build five solar plants and five wind plants supported by a battery energy.
This system comes complete with a solar panel, solar mounting bracket, battery enclosure, batteries, and interconnect cable ready for installation. It's designed to offer quick installation and reliable off-grid powering.
