From sodium-ion containers and 506 kW string inverters to vehicle-to-grid platforms and a Namibian green hydrogen plant, the 2026 finalists capture a sector moving beyond proof and into practice at scale.

A multi-country study presented at SolarFlex Croatia, covering 13 markets and 8,000 generators, concludes that storage in the country can already turn a profit purely from network services, well ahead of any trading revenues.

A study by the Hrvoje Požar Energy Institute and the University of Zagreb finds battery storage cuts system costs by up to 15 percent, supporting payback within around ten years.

A new addition to the product range provides a sheltered mounting frame for inverters. The Magic PV Mount also accommodates further components within the same structure.

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.

A 63 percent rise in cyber attacks in 2024 has exposed vulnerabilities in Lithuania’s solar and storage infrastructure. Cybersecurity expert Dr Robertas Janickas outlines measures to restrict remote access to critical systems.

The French C&I rooftop specialist is stepping up its global push with the acquisition of core assets from Germany's Mounting Systems, including the brand, intellectual property and the LightX and FD3 ballasted product lines.

Public auctions and corporate PPAs delivered 92 GW of solar capacity in the EU between the 2022 energy crisis and 2025. Now, the Brussels-based trade body is urging stronger use of these tools to reduce reliance on fossil fuel imports.

Built around a hybrid vacuum and wet-chemical process, the Pero-Si-SCALE laboratory of the Fraunhofer ISE in Freiburg gives industry partners a shared platform to test perovskite-silicon designs at full wafer size.

Data from sun.store show pricing pressure across the European PV market held firmly upward last month, particularly in premium and high-efficiency modules. The PV Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) declined, suggesting demand may be moderating after a strong Q1.

A field test in Canada’s Northwest Territories demonstrates how off-grid renewables can support transport electrification, lower energy costs and strengthen supply security in isolated regions.

With 15.4 kW continuous and 21 kW peak AC output, the 3P brings three-phase capability to households running heavier loads.

The event offers direct engagement with suppliers and an extensive programme focused on bioenergy, photovoltaics and energy storage.

The era of petrol and diesel dominance is drawing to a close. Mobility is transitioning to electric, with millions of private electric cars, company fleets, and commercial vehicles creating new demands on the energy supply. Filling stations, parking garages, and parking lots now represent opportunities to provide EVs with solar power.

The parliament in Madrid has ratified a package of 80 measures backed by €5 billion that extends self-consumption rules, eases storage requirements and advances energy communities.

A new funding framework introduces higher grants for lower-income households and, for the first time, dedicated support for battery systems alongside solar and heat pumps.

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.

Veselin Todorov, Chairman and Founder of Solar Academy Bulgaria, shares his perspective on the development of photovoltaics and energy storage in Bulgaria, the challenges facing the sector and the opportunities ahead.

From 23 to 25 June, sessions examine how solar combines with storage and other technologies, focusing on integration strategies, grid stability, sector coupling and emerging applications across a renewable electricity system.

With advances in standard PV equipment and proven mounting systems, agrivoltaics is moving beyond its experimental phase and entering mainstream deployment, explains Benjamin von Berg of Trinasolar.

Barbara Flesche, EVP at Europe's largest renewable energy producer, takes over from Aristotelis Chantavas as the trade body reshapes its leadership for the next phase.

A student-led project is exploring how integrated photovoltaics can support mobile healthcare off the grid, testing how solar can improve resilience and autonomy in remote regions.

Sensors, extinguishing systems and pressure relief packaged into a single technical container can simplify planning, speed permitting and give emergency services a clear point of intervention.

On hilly terrain, solar tracker systems are faced with a unique challenge. To ensure they can truly adapt to every slope and contour, the most effective solution is to let each module table move independently, following the natural lines of the landscape.

Commissioned by Canadian renewables producer Boralex, the study examines how changing climate conditions could affect long term energy yield across 76 solar and wind sites.
