The agreement pairs Talesun’s global agrivoltaic project pipeline based on Alphatracker’s purpose-built trackers and structures, with installations customised to local crops and a total investment topping €700 million.

The start-up of two solar parks in southern Romania gives the Greek energy group its first operational renewables base in the country, with a further 153 MW due in 2026.

Public auctions and corporate PPAs delivered 92 GW of solar capacity in the EU between the 2022 energy crisis and 2025. Now, the Brussels-based trade body is urging stronger use of these tools to reduce reliance on fossil fuel imports.

The deployment of next-generation battery systems highlights how construction sites are adapting to grid bottlenecks and emissions targets.

Vienna-based Salzstrom is bringing its Salt Industry Line sodium-ion storage system to the European industrial market, using battery cells that contain neither lithium nor cobalt.

As emissions trading expands in Europe and beyond, researchers at PIK examine why carbon pricing remains contested among policymakers and weigh familiar objections against the empirical record.

Metlen and Tsakos Group will jointly invest in one of Greece’s largest hybrid plants, combining large-scale solar generation with 375 MWh of battery storage, scheduled for completion in early 2028.

Hithium’s modular Power Flexsso, offered in 3.125 MWh and 6.25 MWh (four-hour) configurations, weighs under 26 tons per unit, allowing standard road transport and simplifying deployment across regions with logistical constraints.

The Utrecht Energized initiative unites Renault Group, We Drive Solar, MyWheels and the city administration to deploy a fleet of fifty Renault 5 E‑Tech cars with bidirectional charging.

The UK’s National Fire Chiefs Council has updated its guidance for grid-scale battery storage, introducing a more detailed risk-based framework that covers site design, emergency response and system operation.

The Spanish solar association Unef will dedicate its sixth self-consumption summit in mid-April in Madrid to a pending regulatory reform aimed at expanding shared solar, integrating distributed storage and simplifying access for installations and energy communities.

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

The Energy Management Assistant, or EMMA, within Huawei’s FusionSolar platform is being renamed Smart Assistant SA4h-A02, while system architecture and compatibility with existing installations remain unchanged.

A new study by Eurelectric and EY estimates that fleet electrification could unlock cumulative operating cost savings of up to €246 billion by 2030.

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.

Speed and stability dominated mounting innovation at KEY 2026 in Rimini, with SL Rack presenting updated roof tile and clamp systems alongside its Agri Wall and tracker, while Antaisolar introduced its modular AT-Spark tracker.

Air and soil temperatures beneath agri-PV systems vary with module height, a recent study has found.

A 63 percent rise in cyber attacks in 2024 has exposed vulnerabilities in Lithuania’s solar and storage infrastructure. Cybersecurity expert Dr Robertas Janickas outlines measures to restrict remote access to critical systems.

Abstract submissions are now open for the Agrivoltaics World Conference, organised by Conexio PSE and scheduled for October 2026 in Delhi, with a deadline of 13 April.

CCE Holding has revamped one of its earliest photovoltaic assets in Francavilla, Apulia. Rene Hörwertner, Director Asset Operation, shares key lessons from the 990 kW IGEP plant.

The new Vertex S+ G3 and Vertex N G3 module series from Trinasolar target applications ranging from residential rooftops to large ground-mounted PV systems.

The EU Investment Fund is expanding access to transition finance for SMEs and mid-sized companies through a Qualitas Energy credit fund supported by Spain’s Resilience Facility and NextGenerationEU.

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.

Premium residential storage systems continue to command higher prices across European markets, while battery pricing in the C&I segment remains broadly stable, reflecting slower project cycles and steadily growing product availability.
