The VP Europe at JA discusses why Europe pushes the company technologically, its evolution into an integrated PV and storage supplier, and the European roadshow introducing partners to its next phase.

An economic solution is emerging in the dispute over EEG feed-in tariffs and grid bottlenecks: battery storage systems that let solar feed-in be managed commercially while easing pressure on the grid, ahead of our next investor newsletter on 16 September.

The IPV Conference will gather architects, planners and researchers at the Chamber of Commerce on 3 and 4 December to examine how photovoltaics can be integrated into buildings, infrastructure and vehicles.

After passing 9 GW of installed PV in 2025, the EU's newest solar frontrunner is now targeting more than 12 GW by 2030. The Intersolar Summit Romania will bring 350 delegates to Bucharest on 13–14 October to map out the opportunities.

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.

Devices generating up to 800W are now on legal sale at leading UK retailers including Currys and B&Q, with the government citing potential household savings of up to £110 a year.

Six months on from the outbreak of the Iran War, Europe's solar generation has displaced more than €30 billion worth of gas imports, even as summer heatwaves strained the wider power system and pushed bills higher for consumers.

Corporate energy buyers are increasingly choosing hybrid PPAs for their settlement value rather than their price, even as LevelTen Energy's Q2 index shows solar prices recovering on gas-driven wholesale gains.

Homeowners can claim up to 50 percent of installation costs from 2 September, with battery storage funded only alongside a new photovoltaic system.

Rivan Industries has commissioned its first commercial-scale synthetic natural gas system, powered entirely by solar and operating fully off-grid, with a 10-unit production run planned for 2027.

Major Danish renewables developer European Energy has appointed energy trading specialist Capalo AI to handle optimisation and trading for hybrid solar-and-storage projects in Lithuania and Latvia, as part of its continued battery storage expansion across the Baltic region.

SolarEdge's European chief explains why hyperscaler power demand and cybersecurity concerns around Chinese inverters are reshaping the company's strategy on the continent, alongside AI, US manufacturing and the new Nexis platform.

Harald Scherleitner discusses Fronius's return to growth, the strategic case for building in Europe and why cybersecurity has become a defining purchasing criterion for inverters.

Large parking lots are part of everyday operations for many companies – yet they often remain unused as energy assets. At the same time, pressure is growing to use these spaces more efficiently: several German federal states have introduced requirements to cover newly built parking lots, while companies are looking for cost-effective ways to generate their own electricity. Photovoltaic carports combine both.

With many years of experience, PMT shows how parking lots can become serious energy infrastructure with the proven PMT CARPORT system.

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.
