CEO Talk: Uniper brings decades of experience in the energy sector. But what role can such a strong partner play in the solar park and battery storage business? And how important is this expertise in integrating renewable energies into supply systems? Let’s find out.

Fronius is presenting the Reserva Pro high-voltage battery at Intersolar in Munich, manufactured in Europe. The modular storage system can be configured from 12 to 32 kilowatt-hours per tower and expanded in parallel operation to up to 128 kilowatt-hours.

Europe is generating more renewable energy than ever, yet a widening gap between production and consumption is pushing imbalance costs across the entire system. The solution to this challenge may lie right above us, says Chris Bernkopf, founder of Podero.

Figures from sun.store show a broad price correction in residential batteries, while commercial and industrial prices declined across both capacity ranges, with sharper drops in smaller systems.

Podcast: Elevated solar modules and solar fences are helping farmers generate clean solar power on their pastures and arable land. Stephan Schindele, head of the agri-PV division at BayWa r.e., explains how agricultural transformation and the energy transition are interconnected, offering clear benefits for both farmers and investors. Several countries across Europe are already leading the way with large-scale agri-PV projects.

Located in Przeworsk, the standalone battery project will be delivered under a full EPC scope, with grid connection, integration and commissioning ahead of planned operation in early 2027.

Market volatility and price cannibalisation are accelerating flexibility purchase agreements, while long-term PPAs are losing ground, according to Pexapark.

The Greek Environment and Energy Ministry plans to revive auction-based support for renewables, with wind and solar auctions set to return after a gap of more than three years.

European Energy has secured approval for a 28 MW battery with 112 MWh capacity, with Twig appointed to manage balancing responsibilities across both solar and storage.

Hybrid power plants combining PV with wind and battery storage are gaining ground across Europe and will feature prominently at the industry gathering in Munich from 23 to 25 June.

PV Guided Tours: Solis offers a broad portfolio of inverters for residential and C&I. A standout highlight is the new hybrid inverter with 125 kilowatts of power and ten MPP trackers. On the service side, the company is increasingly focusing on AI capable of responding in real time – a clear benefit for installers and consumers.

PV Guided Tours: Midea’s new inverter merges power electronics and energy management in one device. Akku Sys shows how this integration streamlines system architecture and benefits installers and users, with strong potential for future applications.

CEO Talk: Demand for mounting technology shows a mixed picture. Private customers remain cautious, while commercial roofs and solar parks continue to grow. Throughout, cost pressures remain high. How can suppliers respond? Ludwig Schletter, CEO of SL Rack, puts forward his case.

Roofs and flat open spaces aren't the only options for solar power. Applications that pose particular challenges for project planning and installation technology are increasingly coming into focus.
