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

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.

SolarPower Europe's latest outlook shows growth slowing to 12 percent last year, with installations forecast to fall 8 percent to 612 GW in 2026 before climbing again from 2027.

A new whitepaper finds industrial flexibility could cut EU renewables curtailment by 61 percent and avoid 60 GW of peak capacity, while opening new revenue streams for energy-intensive sectors.

Podcast: The Energy Center from ESS Inc. in Oregon is an iron flow storage system offering 1.16 MWh of capacity and 174 kW of maximum charging power. Housed in a single container, the modular unit is designed for a range of commercial and grid applications. Alan Greenshields, Director EMEA at ESS, discusses long-duration storage and the role of redox flow technology using sustainable materials such as iron, salt and water.

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.

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

Investing in solar parks, expansive rooftop systems and cutting-edge battery storage requires patience and a genuinely long-term outlook. Such projects are generally designed to run for twenty years or more, making it crucial to safeguard them against a broad spectrum of risks over their lifespan – an important issue that is still too often neglected.

The DIN-rail Pro targets new installations with a full feature set, while the compact Plug-In is built for faster, retrofit-friendly installation.

The DLG is accepting submissions for its 2026 Innovation Awards until 31 July, offering Energy Decentral exhibitors in Hanover a broad marketing package and stronger presence at the fair.

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.

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?

Europe's solar fleet has absorbed much of the gas import burden that would otherwise have followed the outbreak of fighting in the Middle East, new SolarPower Europe research finds.

As a new gas-price shock hits Europe, electricity prices in Spain have stayed remarkably stable, according to an analysis by the Ember think tank, thanks to the sustained build-out of wind and solar.

Podcast: Cybersecurity is a critical issue for inverters and solar storage. Uri Sadot, Cybersecurity Programme Director at SolarEdge and Chair of Digitalisation at SolarPower Europe, outlines system vulnerabilities, recent incidents and the urgent need for preventive action. He warns: caution blocks criminal access, while hesitation invites costly failures and grid disruptions.

The renewable energy association OIEH estimates the country will need around 2.4 GW of new solar capacity over the next four years just to cover current summer import requirements, as hydropower's seasonal decline deepens.

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.

Built on Whes hardware and proprietary software, the system is designed to scale across commercial and industrial settings, with additional applications in smaller utility environments.

As a rule, one to three percent of investment is allocated to operation and maintenance over 20 years, making solar parks low-maintenance assets with significantly lower costs than fossil or nuclear plants.

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.

PV Guided Tours: Lightweight modules that offer a solution for load-restricted roofs. Or special technologies that enable durable and flexible solar modules without glass. Is this magic? Let’s find out.

Countries are responding to the second energy crisis in five years by expanding electricity investment and turning to new supply routes and domestic resources, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports.

The Federation has adopted its first support scheme for residential solar self-consumption, offering grants of up to 7,000 KM and full financing for socially vulnerable households from 2026 to 2030.

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.

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.
