Founded as part of the larger pv magazine group, pv magazine USA was created to serve as a specialist news site for the U.S. solar market. Publicly available company information does not clearly list an individual founder or a specific founding story for the U.S. site, but the idea behind it is clear: to provide independent, technology-focused reporting on solar energy, energy storage, and market developments for readers in the United States. Today, pv magazine USA operates as part of the pv magazine group, whose flagship website is pv-magazine.com and whose network includes regional sites for countries and regions such as Germany, Spain, France, Australia, India, Latin America, Mexico, Brazil, China, and the United States. Today, pv magazine USA focuses on renewable energy news rather than general topics like sports or entertainment. Its coverage includes solar markets and policy, finance, residential solar, commercial and industrial solar, utility-scale solar, energy storage, manufacturing, solar technology, research and development, grids, and system integration. The publication is connected to U.S. offices listed in Providence, Rhode Island, and New York City, and it describes itself as a media production company with 11–50 employees. One interesting fact: A unique fact about pv magazine USA is that it is part of a much larger global solar-news network. pv magazine publishes monthly and quarterly magazines in English and German while also running daily industry news channels focused on different solar and energy-storage markets around the world.
