For homeowners and buyers
Most trade press is written for the industry. Sources aimed at homeowners, with reviews, buying guides or price comparisons: CleanTechnica, EcoSwatt, Solar Expert DC (Nexus Solar Energy), Solar Panels in Pakistan, Solar Surge and SolarQuotes Blog.
Solar media by country
Listed by the outlet's home country; most cover more than their own market.
How to use solar news well
- Pick one global source and one local one. A global trade title covers technology and supply chains; a local site covers tenders, net metering and incentives that decide your market.
- Check where a figure comes from. Prices, rankings and forecasts usually come from a research firm; the original release says what was measured and when.
- Treat sponsored content as advertising. Many trade titles run sponsored articles and webinars; they are useful, but they are not independent reviews.
- Follow events coverage. Product launches cluster around the big trade shows; see our solar trade shows guide.
How this list was compiled
Each listing is written from the outlet's own website and reviewed by hand; inclusion is free and never paid for. Counts and groups on this page are generated from the Media & Resources category (and the market research firms in Organizations) at every release, and languages come from each listing's tags.
