What’s Ready, What’s Next: 11 Solar Innovations to Watch in 2025
Solar advances on two tracks: what you can install today with measurable results, and what’s arriving via prototypes, pilots, or first commercial runs. This quick map helps you tell them apart—and decide what to watch for your project.
Energy Monitors for Net Metering
Energy monitors make net metering clear and verifiable. This guide shows how to measure import/export, track solar production, and confirm bills. We compare CT-based whole-home monitors, revenue-grade meters, and inverter APIs—covering accuracy, per-phase wiring, CT sizing, data access, and alerts—so you can choose the right monitor.
Lithium: From classic LiFePO4 to new generations
Lithium batteries are evolving fast. This piece traces the journey from classic LiFePO4 (LFP)—valued for safety and long cycle life—to new generations like LMFP, high-manganese LFP, advanced NMC, and early solid-state designs. We compare energy density, lifespan, cost, thermal behavior, and best-fit applications to help you choose confidently.
What is a solar inverter?
When we talk about solar energy, most people think of solar panels. However, there is an equally essential component that often goes unnoticed: the solar inverter. Without this equipment, the electricity generated by your panels simply wouldn’t be able to power your home.
