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.

The PV and storage giant Sungrow has cleared 14 grid-forming scenarios at utility scale and completed EU Battery Regulation conformity across its full ESS portfolio, two milestones with direct bearing on Europe's storage rollout.

Presented on 29 April in Frankfurt, the new platform gathers several technical firsts, promising utilities and developers leaner lifecycle costs on megawatt and gigawatt projects alongside genuine grid services.

H&M’s solar park investments, Ecokraft’s prefabricated industrial rooftop systems, and Region Kalmar’s car park canopy at Oskarshamn Hospital have won Svensk Solenergi’s 2026 award.

At Intersolar Europe in Munich, the tier-1 manufacturer is broadening its DeepBlue 5.0 range with new bifacial and monofacial n-type modules for commercial installations and utility-scale projects.

Located in Lapinlahti, the 95 MW system will support grid operations and help manage variability as renewable generation grows across Finland.

The 1,200 MWh project in Mazovia anchors R.Power's 6.3 GWh Polish storage pipeline, with Axpo providing optimisation and a revenue floor under a profit-sharing deal running until 2038.

Solar parks may be low-maintenance assets, but optimisation still matters. Reducing component variety and extending lifetimes remain key levers. Find out more in our investor newsletter on 13 May 2026 – sign up now.

A €500 billion yearly shortfall in clean energy funding risks slowing electrification. The power sector body Eurelectric sets out a series of measures to improve regulatory stability, strengthen investor confidence and unlock private capital.

Delivered by InnoEnergy's Skills Institute, the two-year scheme will train 1,500 young jobseekers across Germany, France and Spain in solar, battery and grid trades where workforce shortages are most acute.

A three-day programme brings planners and architects up to date on building greening and its interface with photovoltaics, with excursions scheduled for the final day.

Tech network Fotoplat is hosting its annual assembly at the end of April, highlighting national PV research capacities and running a pitch competition for solar startups.

Built on LFP cells and compatible with the earlier series, the Ocean 2 offers three-phase storage for residential use, scalable to twelve modules and equipped with whole-house backup power as standard.

The Sidłowo–Kikowo–Dobrowo PV project will connect directly to Poland's 400 kV transmission grid, taking its place among the larger solar installations on the continent.

Installed at Søstrene Grene’s distribution centre, the rooftop system supports a fully electric facility, with part of the output used on site and the remainder exported to the grid.
