Agri-PV systems help farmers generate renewable energy, protect crops and maintain yields against climate pressures. This feature covers core technologies, planning strategies and top service providers.

The era of petrol and diesel dominance is drawing to a close. Mobility is transitioning to electric, with millions of private electric cars, company fleets, and commercial vehicles creating new demands on the energy supply. Filling stations, parking garages, and parking lots now represent opportunities to provide EVs with solar power.

The Zhejiang-based manufacturer's All Back Contact modules again lead the April 2026 TaiyangNews monthly update on commercially available high-efficiency solar modules, fending off mounting competition from rival technologies.

Tech network Fotoplat is hosting its annual assembly at the end of April, highlighting national PV research capacities and running a pitch competition for solar startups.

One platform, two milestones: a 28.13 percent cell measured in Hamelin and a 26.4 percent module logged in Colorado extend the Chinese manufacturer's long-term back-contact technology route.

Twelve months after the 28 April 2025 blackout, UNEF finds Spain's grid in better shape than before the incident, though several key frameworks for renewables remain incomplete.

A new advisory from the International Renewable Energy Agency links recent market disruption to structural energy risks, arguing that faster deployment of renewables and storage can reduce exposure while supporting economic stability.

A €500 billion yearly shortfall in clean energy funding risks slowing electrification. The power sector body Eurelectric sets out a series of measures to improve regulatory stability, strengthen investor confidence and unlock private capital.

Market volatility and price cannibalisation are boosting demand for flexibility purchase agreements, with long-term PPAs losing ground, says energy analyst Pexapark.

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: From the roof and façade to the carport – if you want to harness every part of your building for solar energy, GoodWe has a solution. Barbara Terreni, Senior Technical Solution Manager Europe at the PV Building Materials Division, explains how to turn your building into a solar power plant.

The manager at the solar and storage technology company argues that the era of stand-alone PV systems is over, as storage and energy management now drive installations. And he has solid reasons to be optimistic for 2026.

CEO Talk: The market for mounting systems is tough. Competition is fierce and price pressure is high. Manufacturers including K2 Systems are responding with smart innovations. But who – or what – is KAI? And what's behind the motto ‘From Base to Peak’? Let’s find out!

PV Guided Tours: Solar canopies for vines, fruit and berry plantations serve to protect growing fruit from harsh weather and environmental conditions. In most cases, however, the grapevines, the bushes and trees are already firmly rooted in the ground. Mo Horowitz, COO of Solargik, shows how this can be achieved without interrupting agricultural operations – even on slopes.
