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.

Fenecon presents a C&I storage system with hybrid inverter, Ecoflow a three-phase unit with backup. Ja Solar launches new Deepblue 5.0 modules and Solarwatt pushes module output to 470 watts.

The Island Decarbonisation Fund is due to launch in the coming months, with European Investment Bank approval of the investment plan by June clearing the way for first project financing.

The project in Zealand, developed by GreenGo Energy, combines 79 MW of solar capacity with 55 MW of storage, marking Alight’s first co-located PV and battery deployment in the country

First commercial installations of the JAPlanet system are running at sites from Sicilian hotels to Dutch logistics hubs, paired with PV and built around a 261 kWh LFP block scalable to 5.2 MWh.

Annual investment in the sector is forecast to more than double by 2035, with cumulative spending over the next decade estimated at 250 to 300 billion US dollars.

Lithium-ion storage carries real risks of thermal runaway, fire and explosion. Certified technical containers can shield installations from external hazards and ease the route through building approval processes.

Beating three other finalists at the SolarPower Summit, the Munich-based firm convinced the jury with hardware and software tools aimed at asset managers, traders, EPCs and system integrators.

As demand-side flexibility becomes central to balancing renewable supply and grid stability, companies are rethinking energy use. EM-Power Europe 2026 will showcase solutions to cut costs and unlock new revenue streams.

The Zhejiang-based manufacturer's All Back Contact modules again lead the April 2026 TaiyangNews monthly update on commercially available high-efficiency solar modules, fending off mounting competition from rival technologies.

Power density on the new bifacial Vision 5.5 series rises to 235 watts per square metre, with three frame and cell-background variants in the line-up.

By combining a 30 kW solar array and a 2.5 MW biomass system, a flower producer in northern Croatia is now meeting over 70 percent of its electricity demand and heating all greenhouses sustainably.

A new SolarPower Europe analysis finds that an accelerated build-out of renewables and storage could lower annual operating costs across Europe's electricity system by €55 billion by the end of the decade.

Funding will accelerate commercial rollout of modular units that convert surplus electricity into industrial heat, with first deployments showing potential to relieve balancing pressures and lower emissions.
