The Zurich-based developer has cleared a key hurdle for its Spanish portfolio of battery, wind and solar projects, with final investment decisions on several schemes targeted by the end of 2026.

At The smarter E Europe 2026, Solarfox is showcasing Nano, a 7.5-inch e-ink display that shows residential solar data directly in the home while giving installers an always-visible customer-facing tool.

PV on Tour – The Evercore series from Solis integrates inverter, battery and energy management in a single unit, offering 100 kW power and 120 kWh capacity. The larger version delivers up to 261 kWh, paired with a hybrid inverter rated at 50 or 60 kW.

From solar-plus-storage in California and utility-scale batteries in Ukraine to agrivoltaics in Germany and green hydrogen in Namibia, the 2026 finalists show how renewable projects are being delivered across very different markets.

Energy costs shape competitiveness in both global and local markets. As fossil and nuclear prices continue to rise, solar and wind are no longer marginal technologies but increasingly represent the smart money in power generation.

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.

In a revised 1.5°C roadmap, the agency calls for electricity to reach 35 percent of global consumption by 2035, with renewables meeting most of the rising demand across transport, industry and buildings.

Domestic banks have approved financing for storage on operating PV assets, with talks now underway to extend the model from single sites to full photovoltaic portfolios.

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.

The Danish developer has promoted Rene Alcaraz Frederiksen, previously head of its Mitsui joint venture, and brought in former Maersk and Topsoe executive Torben Nørgaard to lead offtake and partnership work.

The floating neighbourhood of Schoonschip shows how households can pool solar, batteries and heat pumps, transforming a community into a flexible, market-ready virtual power plant in Amsterdam’s waterways.

PV Guided Tours: APsystems presents a three-phase micro inverter for up to eight modules, a hybrid inverter for balcony systems and new storage solutions for private and commercial contexts. Sales Manager Aymeri R. Barrailh explains how their solutions stand out.

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.

Atmoce debuts a backup box for three-phase emergency power, Sonnenkraft is bringing a back-contact module for roofs and façades, Sunenergyxt adds a scalable hybrid storage system, and Zinco rolls out a retrofit solution for green roofs.

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.
