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.

The renewable energy provider has confirmed construction of four new solar parks in northern and central England, marking its first major venture into solar and expanding its energy mix.

The floating neighbourhood of Schoonschip shows how households can pool solar, batteries and heat pumps, transforming a community into a flexible, market-ready virtual power plant in Amsterdam’s waterways.

From 4 to 6 March, the Italian manufacturer will showcase photovoltaic solutions for residential, C&I and utility-scale applications, focusing on architectural integration, system reliability and performance optimisation.

PV on Tour – The Evercore series from Solis integrates inverter, battery and energy management in a single unit, offering 100 kW power and 120 kWh capacity. The larger version delivers up to 261 kWh, paired with a hybrid inverter rated at 50 or 60 kW.

The recent price spike in solar modules and batteries is not a new normal but a market catching its breath, says Gerard Scheper, CEO of European Solar.

January data point to a cautious but meaningful shift in the European PV market, with selective module price rebounds, disciplined inverter pricing, stronger buyer sentiment and a PV PMI of 69.
