ADVANCING A SAFETY-FIRST SOLAR CULTURE
Terrasmart has always fostered a culture of safety, and we continually look for ways to raise our own bar. This year, we engaged our entire team in a centralized, weeklong, in-person training, going far beyond standard practices for safety training in the industry.
Recent Advances in Solar Integration for Transportation
Solar power, as a renewable and decentralized resource, offers a unique opportunity to complement grid electricity, reduce emissions, and enhance energy resilience. This paper investigates recent advancements in solar energy integration for transportation.
A Foundation for Success: Navigating Bedrock & 180-mph Winds
Bahamas Solar & Renewables took a non-traditional path to build their first solar site by bypassing the use of an EPC. Instead, they hired local contractors to execute their civil and electrical work. This initiative ensured economic support for the local community.
Eagleview One™ - AI and Precise 3D Models in One Easy Platform

Safe and Reliable PV DC Connections in Single-Axis Tracker Applications
Single-axis tracker systems, frequently used in large solar installations, can cause increased mechanical stress on unsecured wiring and connectors within the DC system due to their regular daily movement. To prevent premature failure of PV DC connections when integrated within tracking systems, several key recommendations must be considered during the installation of the wire management strategy. With its extensive experience, Stäubli is committed to ensuring safety in the installation and operation of PV systems and provides not only training but also other support services to ensure reliable operation.
The First International PV Carbon Footprint Standard: Significance, Strategies, and Eastron's Solution
The global photovoltaic (PV) industry-responsible for 35% of new global power capacity in 2024-has long faced a critical challenge: fragmented carbon footprint standards. This created trade barriers (e.g., a "low-carbon" module certified in China might fail EU criteria) and eroded trust in carbon credits. In 2025, a transformative step was taken: the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) initiated the first international PV carbon footprint standard project (IEC 63667-1), focusing on PV modules. Crucially, the standard is still in development-established as a project but not yet finalized.
