A Type 1+2+3 combined arrester sits inside the ready-to-connect Surgebox TN-S Compact, protecting wallboxes, heat pumps and PV connections against transient overvoltages on TN-S networks.

Rising costs and slowing installation growth are reshaping the UK's charging industry, with InstaVolt's acquisition of the smaller GeniePoint network pointing to a wave of consolidation among operators.

PV Guided Tours: In the utility segment, Huawei FusionSolar is focusing on two innovations this year: an inverter platform with 1,000 V AC technology, and the LUTERRA storage platform with exceptional power and capacity density. Let's take a closer look.

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.

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.

Featuring a patented shingle matrix developed at Fraunhofer ISE, the Apollon 2.0 delivers 450 to 460 W with enhanced shade tolerance and a 30-year warranty, developed, manufactured and tested entirely in Germany.

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.

Engineers, financiers and operators will convene on 23 and 24 February 2027 for the Solar Quality Summit Europe, with a programme centred on real-world performance data and long-term asset value.

The MET Group subsidiary has brought ten new distribution-connected sites online in France, lifting total operational capacity in the country to more than 86 MW / 143 MWh.

A new Google Search setting lets users prioritise the publications they trust. This is how to add PV Europe and keep its coverage close at hand.

Three of Britain's leading electric vehicle organisations have called for independent battery health certificates on every dealer-sold used EV, arguing that batteries are fine – it's the lack of information that's the problem.

PV Guided Tours: With 690 W and an efficiency of 25.6%, AIKO Energy once again sets new benchmarks with its fourth-generation modules. In the video, we explore the technical details and outline future developments.

This summer, Portugal's photovoltaic output surpassed every other energy source for the first time, with renewables now responsible for more than two thirds of the country's total electricity supply.

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.

The new additions cover both ends of the project-size spectrum, with a steel-based structure for utility-scale developments and a pre-configured kit aimed at small and medium-sized installations up to around 250 kW.

A new IIASA-led study finds that climate strategies which cut energy and resource demand tend to improve quality of life across a broader range of dimensions than supply-side alternatives, and that communicating these benefits can strengthen public support.

This special edition explores how farmers can use land more efficiently by combining agriculture with solar energy. It also covers technology, insurance and the shift to e-mobility in farming.

CEO Talk: The project business revolves around modules, inverters and mounting systems. Small components such as cable ties, connectors or protective conduits for wiring are often neglected. Sooner or later, such oversights will come back to haunt you. We find out why.

The agrivoltaics specialist is raising up to €5 million to fund a pipeline that includes more than 70 MW planned for 2027, betting its morning-and-evening generation profile gives it an edge over conventional solar plants.

Two hybrid sites at Stouby and Agersted bring European Energy's grid-connected storage in Denmark to more than 375 MWh across 96.75 MW.

Germany's Fraunhofer ISE and the University of Freiburg have combined sputtering and slot-die coating to produce organic PV modules with 43.2 percent average transparency, addressing one of the field's longest-standing scale-up problems.

Renewed disruption to LNG flows pushed European gas and power prices higher in July, but PPA pricing barely responded, a structural shift that instead lifted merchant battery storage revenues.

Researchers at the University of Hohenheim found that barley, maize, potatoes and other sun-loving crops physiologically adapt to shading beneath solar panels, offering a new tool for crop selection.

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.
