CEO Talk: Installers and EPCs are facing dual pressure. Project sizes are growing and installation windows are tightening, while demands regarding quality, reliability and safety are rising. How are mounting system providers responding to these challenges? Here’s what they told us.

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.

sun.store data show pricing in the 60–120 kWh category falling sharply in June, driven by a shift in product mix rather than demand, even as commercial activity rebounded in the 20–30 kWh range.

With module prices currently low, investing in solar is particularly attractive, although conditions may not remain this favourable for long. The battery storage market is also gaining momentum, especially for large-scale systems. We spoke with Dutch market analyst Gerard Scheper about the key players, the drivers behind the shift and what changes to expect.

The installation in Lodi is projected to outperform a comparable TOPCon-based system by more than 633 MWh over 30 years.

The recent price spike in solar modules and batteries is not a new normal but a market catching its breath, says Gerard Scheper, CEO of European Solar.

OIEH research shows the country could generate significant renewable output using just five percent of its farmland, while also supporting food production.

PV Guided Tours: Homes are increasingly becoming energy producers. Sector coupling within the building is growing in importance and even electric vehicles are now part of the picture. Gregor Kuschmann and Robert Pawlik of Solarwatt explain which components and solutions make energy independence possible and how buildings are playing a new role in the energy market.

The Leipzig-based manufacturer's updated energy management platform can now integrate more than 700 devices, from solar installations to smart consumer electronics.

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.

Fronius says it can scale inverter output to 17 GW annually within a year, arguing existing European manufacturing capacity is ready to absorb any shortfall as the EU restricts Chinese imports on security grounds.

The Nordic tie-up gives Emaldo's residential, commercial and industrial customers in Sweden full access to Flower's flexibility and ancillary services markets, strengthening returns from battery assets amid rising market volatility.

As heatwaves and storms intensify across Europe, combining green roofs with rooftop solar is gaining traction as a practical way to cool buildings, manage rainfall and generate clean power where it is needed most.

BRIZO's flexible tensioning system is designed for coastal and near-shore sites, extending floating PV beyond the calm-water lakes most systems rely on today.

Once viewed as a brake on production, flexible electricity use is reshaping European industry's relationship with the grid. Michael Villa of smartEn sets out the opportunities, hurdles and the role of AI.

Premium module segments hit new highs in June as back contact and full black extended their runs, while buyer sentiment stayed firmly expansionary despite a slight easing in the PV PMI to 67, according to data from sun.store.

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.

The M-ELV Battbank, an AC-coupled low-voltage system for commercial and industrial applications, is designed to integrate independently of existing inverters.

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.

According to the world's largest battery maker, the system reaches up to 15,000 cycles at 25 degrees Celsius, and offers higher overcharge tolerance than comparable lithium-ion technology.

Energy costs shape competitiveness in both global and local markets. As fossil and nuclear prices continue to rise, solar and wind are no longer marginal technologies but increasingly represent the smart money in power generation.

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.

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.

Around 81 percent of residents in municipalities surveyed can apply for property tax rebates, according to a new report from Fundación Renovables and UNEF.

RWE and PPC have finished building 930 MWp of solar capacity in Western Macedonia, part of a joint venture that also has 567 MWp under construction for 2027.
