This week, significant developments in the solar energy sector highlight Texas's emergence as a leader in solar deployment and manufacturing, with ongoing legislative debates potentially influencing the nation's energy future. Meanwhile, the Ohio Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a 350 MW solar project despite local opposition, indicating a shift in support for renewable energy projects in the state.

Additionally, researchers from Arizona State University emphasize the need for new state solar rights statutes due to increasing local opposition and restrictive ordinances. In a surprising trend, states that supported Trump in the last election are witnessing a surge in solar projects and manufacturing investments. On the infrastructure front, construction has commenced on a 9 MWh battery energy storage system for a Massachusetts municipal utility, while the Trump administration's budget proposal threatens over $20 billion in cuts to renewable energy and climate initiatives.
