Investing in solar parks, expansive rooftop systems and cutting-edge battery storage requires patience and a genuinely long-term outlook. Such projects are generally designed to run for twenty years or more, making it crucial to safeguard them against a broad spectrum of risks over their lifespan – an important issue that is still too often neglected.

The DIN-rail Pro targets new installations with a full feature set, while the compact Plug-In is built for faster, retrofit-friendly installation.

The DLG is accepting submissions for its 2026 Innovation Awards until 31 July, offering Energy Decentral exhibitors in Hanover a broad marketing package and stronger presence at the fair.

After a punishing downturn, Europe's solar market is finding its footing. European Solar’s Gerard Scheper argues the deeper change lies in the industrial and political reset now taking shape around it.

PV Guided Tours: Energy management systems integrate not only solar installations and storage but also electric vehicles through bidirectional charging. How does it work, and which functions do such systems offer?

Europe's solar fleet has absorbed much of the gas import burden that would otherwise have followed the outbreak of fighting in the Middle East, new SolarPower Europe research finds.

As a new gas-price shock hits Europe, electricity prices in Spain have stayed remarkably stable, according to an analysis by the Ember think tank, thanks to the sustained build-out of wind and solar.

Countries are responding to the second energy crisis in five years by expanding electricity investment and turning to new supply routes and domestic resources, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports.

A new report from the Croatian Renewable Energy Association maps the barriers holding back a market that has gained traction elsewhere in Europe, from regulatory complexity to the near-absence of municipal and community contracts.

A new 54 MW solar park in Saxony-Anhalt has been added to an existing wind farm, sharing the same substation and grid connection and demonstrating how renewables can expand without further straining the network.

Danish developer European Energy has started construction of the Indian Queens project in Cornwall, combining 67.96 MW of solar capacity with a 95 MWh battery system, with revenues secured through a corporate PPA and a capacity market contract.

Podcast: Cybersecurity is a critical issue for inverters and solar storage. Uri Sadot, Cybersecurity Programme Director at SolarEdge and Chair of Digitalisation at SolarPower Europe, outlines system vulnerabilities, recent incidents and the urgent need for preventive action. He warns: caution blocks criminal access, while hesitation invites costly failures and grid disruptions.

Fronius says it can scale inverter output to 17 GW annually within a year, arguing existing European manufacturing capacity is ready to absorb any shortfall as the EU restricts Chinese imports on security grounds.

Energy crises and rising fossil and nuclear prices are making solar and battery storage more attractive than ever, driving demand across industrial rooftops, open land and car parks – find out more in the latest guide.

CEO Talk: Demand for private and commercial solar rooftops is picking up and the expansion of solar parks continues to accelerate. Yet rising metal prices and energy costs are putting pressure on suppliers of mounting technology. Ludwig Schletter, CEO of SL Rack, talks about the challenges.
