3. Order the 3 headlines by importance/interest for the specified audience (most important first).
4. Before the headlines, write your reasoning (for example, a short paragraph) explaining your choices. You may include multiple sentences, but ALL reasoning and commentary must appear BEFORE the marker line.
5. On a new line after all reasoning, write exactly: = HEADLINES =
6. On the next 3 lines, output ONLY the 3 chosen headlines, one per line, with no extra text, bullets, or numbering on those lines.
7. After the = HEADLINES = line, do not include any other text or lists. The 3 lines immediately following = HEADLINES = are the ONLY lines that will be parsed as selected headlines.

Response:
I chose the Texas solar project financing headline as the top story because it signals a major market and financing development relevant to US solar professionals. Next, the Solarwatt bifacial TOPCon module launch represents a significant technological advance in PV hardware, which is of high interest. Finally, the Dutch residential battery market surge highlights an important storage policy trend that impacts the broader solar ecosystem.
