Energy crises and rising fossil and nuclear prices are making solar and battery storage more attractive than ever, driving demand across industrial rooftops, open land and car parks – find out more in the latest guide.

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.

CEO Talk: The utility business in Europe is growing and increasingly challenging. Solar fields now come with large batteries, and suppliers must meet standards for grid compliance, safety and security. How is the business changing and what strategy will ultimately succeed? Leon Zhang, President of LONGi Europe, shares his view.

The renewable energy association OIEH estimates the country will need around 2.4 GW of new solar capacity over the next four years just to cover current summer import requirements, as hydropower's seasonal decline deepens.

The deal, announced at Intersolar Europe, brings more than 20 GW of deployed projects and a presence across 58 countries, with the combined business expected to generate around €300 million in annual revenue.

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.

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.

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.

Podcast: Cybersecurity is a critical issue for inverters and solar storage. Uri Sadot, Cybersecurity Programme Director at SolarEdge and Chair of Digitalisation at SolarPower Europe, outlines system vulnerabilities, recent incidents and the urgent need for preventive action. He warns: caution blocks criminal access, while hesitation invites costly failures and grid disruptions.

Fronius says it can scale inverter output to 17 GW annually within a year, arguing existing European manufacturing capacity is ready to absorb any shortfall as the EU restricts Chinese imports on security grounds.

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.

CEO Talk: Demand for private and commercial solar rooftops is picking up and the expansion of solar parks continues to accelerate. Yet rising metal prices and energy costs are putting pressure on suppliers of mounting technology. Ludwig Schletter, CEO of SL Rack, talks about the challenges.
