The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital has switched on a 600 kWh battery system paired with rooftop solar, delivered by ZLC Energy using six Solis PrimePower units. The setup is expected to offset around 75 percent of the hospital's electricity use.

The HV-MELA-BAT programme is advancing megawatt-scale charging with modular DC/DC converters, achieving high efficiency and enabling over 1 MW charging on a limited grid connection.

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.

The Swedish Transport Administration has awarded Soltech subsidiary E-Mobility a two-year framework agreement for EV charging infrastructure at its properties across Sweden, with a potential value of SEK 28 million and an option to extend for a further two years.

Providers, growers and researchers will convene at Château Gassies on 13 and 14 October 2026 to share the latest findings on combining crop production with solar generation across European conditions.

As solar and battery storage projects scale up, the industry's exposure to fire, serial defects and unmanaged risk is outpacing its reliance on insurance alone, argues Harry Wolkenfelt of Solarif Group.

Gerard Scheper of European Solar argues that the positive sentiment seen after Intersolar Europe is no longer just sentiment, it is slowly turning into action.

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 report from the Croatian Renewable Energy Association maps the barriers holding back a market that has gained traction elsewhere in Europe, from regulatory complexity to the near-absence of municipal and community contracts.

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.

As synchronous generators retire and inertia drains from the grid, battery storage inverters are inheriting stability tasks once reserved for spinning steel, argues Daniel Gerber of ABB Renewable Power.

SMA met thresholds in market presence, market share, company size and sustainability, one of only twelve manufacturers to qualify from a field of 30.

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.

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.
