As manufacturers bypass distributors and sell C&I storage directly to installers and EPCs, buyers must establish who handles integration, commissioning and repairs. Removing a distributor does not remove the work, says market expert Gerard Scheper.

Andy Burnham’s new public grid body will co-invest with private operators and bid for transmission work. What is it, how does it work and why does the politics matter?

Energy crises and rising fossil and nuclear prices are making solar and battery storage more attractive than ever, driving demand across industrial rooftops, open land and car parks – find out more in the latest guide.

Households can claim up to €9,000 towards an electric car, and €2,500 for an electric motorcycle or moped, from a €20 million fund. Applications open on 21 October 2026.

CEO Talk: Growing demand for large-scale storage systems is working in favour of European suppliers. Safety and security are becoming increasingly important. What role does service play, from commissioning through the entire lifespan of the storage system? Fenecon's CEO shares his view.

The German truck charging specialist is buying 40 MWh of battery storage from Fenecon to ease grid bottlenecks at customer depots and support high-power charging at its new public sites.

CEO Talk: ENTEGRO develops, plans and implements PV projects for companies and investors. Driven by the ambition to always be one idea better, the company consistently pushes innovation, efficiency and project quality. What this means in practice, and how it translates into real economic advantages, is revealed in a behind-the-scenes look.

With Dutch net metering ending in 2027, Sungrow has chosen the Low Countries to launch its new residential storage in Europe. Lv Mo explains how the plan fits each market’s grid, tariff and installer needs.

All four module segments slipped in September 2026, with TOPCon bifacial at €0.114/W. sun.store’s purchasing managers’ index rose to 67 from 65, just below its historical average of 68.

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.

Almost 100,000 electric cars were registered in September, according to New AutoMotive, but ministers are still weighing a softer 2030 target of as little as 50 percent.

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.

A record 27.1 GWh of battery storage was added across the continent in 2025, but many operators still cannot see how their assets perform. Stephan Rohr of TWAICE argues that operational data will define the market’s next phase.

PV Guided Tours: HYXI is showing off its newly unveiled Muse AI-Native Energy OS, which transforms energy use from passive backup into active, learning intelligence. Highlights include the Aura all-in-one storage, the AC-coupled Halo micro-storage system and the liquid-cooled Atlas C&I unit.

The module heavyweight is expanding its storage portfolio with two new products: Planet Fusion, a DC hybrid system combining inverter, battery and backup in one unit, and Planet 2.0, its latest AC commercial storage system.

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.

The EU’s main tool for rebuilding solar manufacturing is off to a slow start, with most countries yet to apply its auction rules, a new SolarPower Europe report finds.

Battery projects are assessed on cell quality, warranties, safety and expected revenues, market expert Gerard Scheper explains. But one crucial question is too often overlooked: can the owner continue operating the system if the original supplier or software provider disappears?

Europe’s electric truck market may be accelerating, but the slow rollout of charging is holding it back. Moritz Vornfeld of Kempower argues that busy, flexible depots will matter more than public hubs or grants

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.

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.

CEO Talk: What does the future of energy storage in Europe look like? Safer, smarter and more connected – from commercial rooftops to utility-scale projects. AlphaESS shows how a single open system can link all of these applications together. Find out more about the strategy behind it.

Europe’s battery storage sector has scaled at record pace, but many operators still struggle to see how their assets perform. Stephan Rohr of TWAICE argues that operational data will shape the market’s next phase.

Professor Martin Green of the University of New South Wales is a leading figure in solar research, holding numerous patents and efficiency records dating back to 1974. Now Chief Scientific Officer at Euronergy, he is focused on developing glass-free, lightweight modules that are exceptionally thin and easy to install.

The Finnish technology group and German engineering firm RCT Solutions each own half of the BESS integrator, which starts out with more than 20 GWh installed across over 130 utility-scale projects.
