Meeting EU renewables and heat pump targets over the next five years could cut gas demand by around a quarter, easing exposure to volatile LNG markets, argues Ana Maria Jaller-Makarewicz, lead analyst at IEEFA.

Next2Sun argues that combining south-facing and vertical installations can expand connected capacity by around 60 percent while cutting infrastructure costs and improving market returns.

Researchers at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin for Materials and Energy have developed a carborane-based electron transport material that raises perovskite cell efficiency by up to 2.4 percentage points, addressing a longstanding stability weakness in the process.

Farmers rarely have time to master permits, mapping and grid procedures alongside the day job. Developers such as Hamburg-based Metavolt now handle the entire journey, from initial idea to completed installation.

The sale follows a £250 million debt refinancing and £40 million equity raise, and is part of InstaVolt‘s strategy shift toward the UK and Ireland since the business entered Iberia in 2023.

The bloc avoided billions of cubic metres of imported gas over 137 days, according to SolarPower Europe, with solar supplying a quarter of the EU's electricity in June, its largest single power source.

The European Commission's plan targets 46 percent electrification by 2040, with industry groups calling for stronger investment support and an end to double taxation of storage.

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 whitepaper finds industrial flexibility could cut EU renewables curtailment by 61 percent and avoid 60 GW of peak capacity, while opening new revenue streams for energy-intensive sectors.

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.

As synchronous generators retire and inertia drains from the grid, battery storage inverters are inheriting stability tasks once reserved for spinning steel, argues Daniel Gerber of ABB Renewable Power.

SMA met thresholds in market presence, market share, company size and sustainability, one of only twelve manufacturers to qualify from a field of 30.

PV Guided Tours: Speed and simple handling are what installers demand of rooftop mounting. With versatile substructures and just a handful of tools, modules can go onto virtually any roof in record time. Sounds too good to be true? Watch the video.

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.
