Two sites taking shape at Kärppiö and Lapinlahti will together bring 600 MWh of new capacity online, fulfilling the framework agreement signed at Intersolar earlier this year.

Eight national parks and thirteen nature parks can now apply for a share of €18 million to fund solar-plus-storage, heating and cooling upgrades, EV infrastructure and grid improvements, starting 1 October.

Solar and battery storage projects are only as insurable and bankable as the decisions taken long before financial close, argues the CEO and founder of Solarif Group. Effective De-Risking starts at the drawing board, not at the signing table.

A new white-label product from the energy management platform allows e-mobility providers and their customers – including logistics companies and fleet operators – to market unused EV charging capacity as flexibility.

Once a commodity, the solar inverter is now a connected gateway to Europe's energy system. As the market recovers, manufacturers face new pressures from cybersecurity, grid integration, local value creation and geopolitical competition.

As REPowerEU stalls with 82 percent of funding unspent, industry and security experts are urging Berlin and Brussels to treat energy efficiency as a strategic security resource on par with diversified supply and reserves.

A new position paper from Eurelectric warns that Europe's network tariff reform must balance harmonisation with national flexibility, safeguard investment signals and avoid distorting wholesale markets as electrification accelerates.

A new report from ACCURE Battery Intelligence finds a two percent shortfall in battery storage revenue can cut a project's debt service coverage ratio and shave a point off investor returns.

A hybrid back-contact design verified by Germany's Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin has pushed crystalline silicon efficiency to 28.29 percent, close to the technology's theoretical ceiling.

Two new analyses examine Europe's evolving PV landscape: SolarEdge maps five trends reshaping distributed solar, and a SolarPower Europe webinar explores how quality decisions define 30 years of asset value.

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.

The TMPV2 Module Lift is a portable, motor-free system for hauling solar modules onto rooftops by rope and pulley, designed to meet German occupational safety rules on ladder loads.

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.

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.

Automated EU shipping, trade credit with Allianz and Alior Bank, and 8,000 orders so far this year: Agata Krawiec-Rokita on how fragmentation is opening doors for smaller distributors and installers.

Sungrow Europe's team leader for technical sales explains how the company is scaling European production, software and infrastructure while strengthening its position on grid integration, cybersecurity and C&I solutions.

A decade after taking over a former Bosch and Johanna Solar site in Brandenburg an der Havel, Oxford PV is shipping perovskite-silicon tandem modules worldwide, marking ten years of commercial production with ambitious plans ahead.

Europe's grid queues hold 1,700 GW of stalled projects. Sharing connections between wind and PV could ease the bottleneck, but regulation, permitting and grid operators keep hybrid parks a rarity, explains Philipp Rasche of ENEO.

As TOPCon dominance gives way to a more differentiated market, Ignacio Espinosa of JA (formerly JA Solar) sets out what really separates one module from another.

As a rule, one to three percent of investment is allocated to operation and maintenance over 20 years, making solar parks low-maintenance assets with significantly lower costs than fossil or nuclear plants.

Tariff-responsive energy management, multi-tenant solar, building mandates, stronger C&I storage economics and shifting system sizes are redefining how distributed solar is deployed across the continent, Robert Bruchner of SolarEdge argues.

An eight-point, 400 kW charging installation at Astwick becomes both a UK-first for Kempower and a first for its 2024 partnership with financing provider DLL.

The Institute for Solar Energy Systems calibration laboratory has confirmed 152 world efficiency records since 1986, from a then-impressive 16.4 percent silicon module in 1992 to today's world-leading 34.4 percent record.

Fion Energy's Johannes Meriläinen explains how his system's AI-based control allows storage to combine several applications at once, from peak shaving to spot-market trading, while continuously optimising for the best economic result.

UNEF's annual report shows the solar sector employed over 134,000 people and contributed €9.84 billion to Spanish GDP last year. But today, falling captured prices and near-900 zero-price hours are straining plant profitability.
