After a punishing downturn, Europe's solar market is finding its footing. European Solar’s Gerard Scheper argues the deeper change lies in the industrial and political reset now taking shape around it.

HERA's new framework paper identifies the obstacles preventing citizens and businesses from generating their own electricity and sets deadlines for regulatory, technical and administrative fixes through 2027.

PV Guided Tours: Energy management systems integrate not only solar installations and storage but also electric vehicles through bidirectional charging. How does it work, and which functions do such systems offer?

Sonnen's new home storage tops out at 261 kWh, Solis reaches 40 kWh, DSW combines 2.5 MWh on a skid platform and Sigenergy adds AI-supported backup power to its home battery range.

CEO Talk: instalment purchasing made easy. With solid partners behind them, installers can offer customers loans for their solar setup alongside the build itself. What does this mean for installers? More work or more orders? Watch to find out.

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.

Meeting EU deployment targets for electric cars, vans and trucks would cut oil imports worth around €12 billion a year, per new analysis by E-Mobility Europe and Ember.

Roofs and flat open spaces aren't the only options for solar power. Applications that pose particular challenges for project planning and installation technology are increasingly coming into focus.

Certified by ESTI in July 2026, the result is the latest in a rapid sequence of gains from LONGi's Central Research Institute, which has added more than 1.5 percentage points since mid-2024.

The expert from VW subsidiary Elli explains what bidirectional charging can deliver for the energy and mobility transition, where deployment stands today, and which regulatory hurdles still need clearing in Germany and Europe.

A conditional long-term agreement to supply around 17,000 m² of photovoltaic roof tiles annually positions the Polish manufacturer as a volume supplier for the Western European refurbishment market.

Configuring solar arrays around the light spectrum plants actually use can substantially raise energy yields while leaving crop growth unaffected, Australian researchers report.

The 300 MWh installation, built for four-hour discharge, will help stabilise the Italian grid during non-solar peak hours, supporting the country's PNIEC goals with dispatchable clean power.

A Brussels coalition of regional governments, manufacturers and trade unions is calling for tougher local-content rules in the EU's planned Industrial Accelerator Act.

Sungrow's PowerTitan 2.0 anchors a 70 MW / 160 MWh storage plant developed by Delta Capacity, delivered in just 15 months to bring flexibility to the volatile Nordic power market.

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.

The Norsol-developed solar parks in the Castilla y León region with more than 20 MW of combined capacity went live in July 2026 running on Vanguard 1P trackers and Vertex N modules.

PV Guided Tours: In the utility segment, Huawei FusionSolar is focusing on two innovations this year: an inverter platform with 1,000 V AC technology, and the LUTERRA storage platform with exceptional power and capacity density. Let's take a closer look.

The pre-configured unit targets industrial and utility-scale projects, combining three battery units and around 1.25 MW of charge and discharge power, and liquid-cooled LFP technology.

CEO Talk: The project business revolves around modules, inverters and mounting systems. Small components such as cable ties, connectors or protective conduits for wiring are often neglected. Sooner or later, such oversights will come back to haunt you. We find out why.
