Premium module segments hit new highs in June as back contact and full black extended their runs, while buyer sentiment stayed firmly expansionary despite a slight easing in the PV PMI to 67, according to data from sun.store.

CEO Talk: ENTEGRO develops, plans and implements PV projects for companies and investors. Driven by the ambition to always be one idea better, the company consistently pushes innovation, efficiency and project quality. What this means in practice, and how it translates into real economic advantages, is revealed in a behind-the-scenes look.

The M-ELV Battbank, an AC-coupled low-voltage system for commercial and industrial applications, is designed to integrate independently of existing inverters.

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.

According to the world's largest battery maker, the system reaches up to 15,000 cycles at 25 degrees Celsius, and offers higher overcharge tolerance than comparable lithium-ion technology.

Around 81 percent of residents in municipalities surveyed can apply for property tax rebates, according to a new report from Fundación Renovables and UNEF.

RWE and PPC have finished building 930 MWp of solar capacity in Western Macedonia, part of a joint venture that also has 567 MWp under construction for 2027.

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.

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 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.
