Andreas Lehner of AMMP sets out a simple test for commercial and industrial solar portfolios: let AI read, compare and explain, but keep decisions that cost money or involve a site visit with people.

PV Guided Tours: HYXI is showing off its newly unveiled Muse AI-Native Energy OS, which transforms energy use from passive backup into active, learning intelligence. Highlights include the Aura all-in-one storage, the AC-coupled Halo micro-storage system and the liquid-cooled Atlas C&I unit.

Electric trucks can now charge at a public stop in Lapalisse and a logistics depot in eastern France, where Evergreen Mobility’s chargers deliver 250 kW today and are built to reach 1.2 MW.

As manufacturers bypass distributors and sell C&I storage directly to installers and EPCs, buyers must establish who handles integration, commissioning and repairs. Removing a distributor does not remove the work, says market expert Gerard Scheper.

The proposal has drawn sharp criticism from the industry association UNEF, which warns that investors, host municipalities and consumers will all be worse off.

Panels get the attention, but balance-of-system components now account for a third of utility-scale project costs. A SolarPower Europe report shows where Europe can keep its edge.

A new battery grant, fully funded systems for some households and record money for home upgrades: we break down the energy measures in Ireland’s €1.28 billion package.

Venture capitalists are back and putting larger sums into fewer early-stage companies, while acquisitions and new EU cybersecurity rules are changing how startups grow.

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.

Europe's grid queues hold 1,700 GW of stalled projects. Sharing connections between wind and PV could ease the bottleneck, but regulation, permitting and grid operators keep hybrid parks a rarity, explains Philipp Rasche of ENEO.

From shared connection points to AI-driven trading: two very different perspectives on Europe's grid capacity problem, and how developers and operators can make better use of existing grid capacity, cut curtailment losses and lift returns on renewable assets.

Backdoors and insecure manufacturer platforms pose a serious threat to Europe’s grid, warns the European Commission’s Smart Energy Expert Group, which wants restrictions on high-risk suppliers down to the smallest systems.

A growing number of hacker attacks is exposing weak points in solar systems. Operators who act early can keep attackers out, while delay risks costly failures and disruption to the grid.

A joint webinar by K2 Systems and PV Europe sets out how installers can tackle the competing demands of speed, flexibility and plant protection when building large solar arrays on flat and green roofs. It is now available to watch free of charge.

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.
