Luckily, we don’t need a global consensus of 190 governments to build a solar farm, and 75m households - in Karachi, Lagos and Rio etc - haven’t needed it to put solar panels on their roofs. We’re getting on with it - the move away from fossil is already happening, don’t worry. #COP30 #COP30Brazil

Arrived at #COP30Belem where it is HOT - if you are here too come and join us at our #PossibleWithSolar 10th anniversary party on the evening of Friday 14 November where you can cool down with an ice drink and dip your feet into the pool 2dmybz.share-eu1.hsforms.com/2_fN_HkoyTXm...
Meet the team on the ground at #COP30 Belém. Can’t wait to meet you all there! #PossiblewithSolar+Storage

This gives me hope. Don’t give up on 1.5C. Never give up. Here in the #solar industry and in the @globalsolarcouncil.bsky.social we are pushing for more and more and more to keep us 1.5C aligned. #SolarCanDeliver #PossibleWithSolar
🚨🚨🚨 NEW REPORT ALERT 🚨🚨🚨
@climateanalytics.org has a new report out today that I’m really excited about. It’s all about 1.5ºC...
▶️ Is overshooting 1.5ºC inevitable?
▶️ Can we still get temperatures back below 1.5ºC?
▶️ If so, how?
If you’re interested in our findings, buckle up for a mega thread...

We’ve done it - we now represent battery storage as well as solar. Big move, momentous moment. #BatteryStorage
⚡ Solar. Storage. Future Secured. ⚡
Global Solar Council is now the first global industry association to represent both solar PV and battery storage — strengthening the industry’s voice and driving the next phase of the clean energy transition.

The article, and the book, that everyone should read. Pure poetry. #PossibleWithSolar @billmckibben.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...
4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment
In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Official report states that solar was not to blame for Spain and Portugal blackout. System couldn't absorb voltage changes. Statement of five leading solar and renewables associations available here: www.globalsolarcouncil.org/news/joint-s... #solar #blackout

The #powercut in Spain and Portugal is still being investigated and we do not know the exact cause yet. However what we do know is that this shows the need for #flexibility and short and long duration storage, and the ability for #rooftopsolar and storage to keep things going when the lights go out

We as renewables industries have a responsibility to be the best we can be and avoid any social acceptance and opposition issues in the future
