The latest Energy Storage System (ESS) Supplier Market Intelligence Report includes concise and standardized analyses of major LIB cell suppliers and BESS integrators, focusing on global production capacities, product portfolios, and notable projects.

pv magazine: Claire Kearns-McCoy and Michael Scott of Intertek CEA report a rise in junction box failures across utility-scale and rooftop solar sites and explain why the only reliable window to catch these problems closes as soon as the potting compound cures.

PV Tech: FEOC compliance can break down after contracts are signed as supplier ownership, IP licensing, or component changes affect tax-credit eligibility. Intertek CEA’s Jordan Wilson recommends ongoing monitoring, audits, bill-of-material controls, and contractual protections to manage risk through project completion.

pv magazine: PV projects increasingly face financing and execution risk from documentation gaps. Intertek CEA COO Jeffrey Burkett sees technically sound, commercially viable projects struggle to close financing because critical proof was not built up along the way.

The ESS Price Forecasting Report provides an in-depth five-year forecast for the price of a DC battery container, including battery cells, modules, racking, and additional balance of system needed for a containerized battery system.

Junction box failures are rising across utility-scale solar. Intertek CEA experts reveal common defects, inspection gaps, and how to prevent safety, production, and warranty risks.

The PV SMIP provides a comprehensive and unbiased analysis of the top PV module manufacturers in the world. It offers detailed insights into capacities, technology, and efficiency roadmaps, along with Manufacturing, Capacity, and Technology (MCT) ratings for each supplier.

On July 28, 2026, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) restricted new foreign-made connected inverters unless they receive Conditional Approval. Unclear implementation could disrupt US solar and energy storage supply.

Energy Storage News: Rising demand for energy storage in the US does not yet have a domestic supply chain to meet it.

In this Energy Storage News webinar, Intertek CEA experts Paul Wormser and Dan Finn-Foley examine how FEOC requirements are reshaping ESS procurement in the United States.

The ESS Price Forecasting Report provides an in-depth five-year forecast for the price of a DC battery container, including battery cells, modules, racking, and additional balance of system needed for a containerized battery system.

The quarterly Energy Storage STPR delivers global and regional supply chain analysis, technology trends, and policy insights, and this quarter focuses on cell product roadmaps toward larger form-factor cells and the emerging role of alternative technologies for UPS applications in the expanding data center market.

In this article, Joerg Althaus of Intertek CEA explains why lost bypass diodes in PV modules are a hidden fire risk: they can pass standard factory and field inspections, yet create severe overheating when shading occurs.

Energy Storage News: To avoid pitfalls that can begin on the factory floor and extend well into operational lifetime, developers must sign well-structured guarantees and contracts to protect their BESS investments, writes Intertek CEA Senior Energy Storage Engineer Yilin Huang.

Energy Storage News: BESS performance guarantees are essential and ubiquitous, yet can be challenging to navigate, writes Intertek CEA Senior Energy Storage Engineer Yilin Huang.

The quarterly published PV STPR covers global and regional supply chain analysis, technology trends, and regional policy analysis.
