A sustainability-minded homeownerin Belgium has switched to solar-electric heating, with two My PV controllers managing energy flows – including for the garden hot tub.

Designed for high-power fast charging, the CDC1000E was announced at the Charging Summit. Scalable to 3.5 MW, it is ideal for fleets, industry and large charging hubs.

RWE’s 400 MW/700 MWh battery storage facility will tap into the existing grid connection at the decommissioned Gundremmingen nuclear plant in Bavaria, transforming the historic site into a cornerstone of Germany’s energy transition.

Raspberries and strawberries show distinct responses to agri-PV shading, underscoring the importance of customised system designs for optimal yields.

The world’s solar markets are set for major upheaval following a subtle shift in Chinese policy – a move that was long overdue and will have painful consequences, says European Solar CEO Gerard Scheper.

Bureau Veritas has certified Sonnen’s storage systems for cybersecurity under the Radio Equipment Directive, verifying compliance with the EU’s most recent requirements for connected devices.

Boralex and Ireland's Women in Solar Energy were also recognised for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the solar sector.

Boosting electricity demand and flexibility is key to unlocking the benefits of the energy transition, says Eurelectric.

The new position paper recommends leveraging solar, storage and electrification to reinforce Europe’s energy security and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
