This special edition explores how farmers can use land more efficiently by combining agriculture with solar energy. It also covers technology, insurance and the shift to e-mobility in farming.

A special exhibit and a new Fraunhofer ISE study presented at this year's Munich event argue that the lights can stay on without fossil fuels, and that a fully renewable energy system is both technically feasible and economically sound.

The mounting manufacturer is debuting a single-person insertion system for ground-mounted projects, alongside a 1P tracker upgrade delivering 2.1 metres of clearance at up to 60 degrees of tilt.

The back-contact specialist has met five or more of the ten benchmarks in energy research firm Wood Mackenzie's global 2026 manufacturer assessment, qualifying for Grade A classification.

Regulatory reforms and new standards have unlocked electric vehicles as mobile storage units, and bidirectional charging is moving from pilot to commercial reality – as Power2Drive Europe 2026 will demonstrate from 23 to 25 June in Munich.

New figures from UNEF show installed storage capacity for self-consumption rose by 65 percent last year, with residential deployments nearly doubling as battery costs continue to drop.

The 225 MW installation outside Vizzini will be refinanced via a CfD awarded through a competitive process in which generation cost was only one of several criteria.

Each 197 kWh cabinet pairs with one or two 50 kW battery inverters and can be scaled modularly, reaching up to 1 MW of power and 4 MWh of storage per installation.

The Israeli solar technology company is using its Intersolar anniversary showcase to signal a shift toward fully integrated, software-led energy management across solar, storage and EV charging for both residential and commercial customers.

The Energie One, a 10 kW and 10 kWh residential package combining a high-voltage hybrid inverter, modular battery storage and home energy management, is among the highlights on the SKYWORTH Solar stand.

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.

As Europe weighs supply chain dependencies and cybersecurity concerns, Chinese manufacturers are moving beyond TOPCon and back-contact technologies towards a new generation of tandem cell technology, observes Gerard Scheper.

RCBC is acting as sole lender on the PHP 4.5 billion facility, equivalent to around €66 million, backing a 99 MW solar and battery project in Iloilo province, with first power expected in the second quarter of 2027.

The new additions cover both ends of the project-size spectrum, with a steel-based structure for utility-scale developments and a pre-configured kit aimed at small and medium-sized installations up to around 250 kW.

Providers, growers and researchers will convene at Château Gassies on 13 and 14 October 2026 to share the latest findings on combining crop production with solar generation across European conditions.

A new report from Eurelectric drawing on 61 companies and 30 projects sets out an integrated partnership model designed to turn fragmented industrial electrification decisions into coordinated, system-level delivery.

The Fraunhofer ISE team in Freiburg has developed a technique using structured coatings and cutouts to create detailed, durable patterns on modules, opening new scope for architecture and design in PV.

A new addition to the product range provides a sheltered mounting frame for inverters. The Magic PV Mount also accommodates further components within the same structure.

Solar fire safety specialist ArcBox is broadening its European presence with additional sales managers, a new regional office in Cologne and its first exhibit at Intersolar Europe in June.

The Hydrogen Dialogue Forum & Expo and a two-day summit on 24 and 25 June will bring together industry, policy and research voices to address the slow commercialisation of green hydrogen.

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.

A €18.9 million financing package will support construction of the solar installation at Hellenic Halyvourgia's steelworks, covering around 20% of electricity needs and cutting annual carbon emissions by more than 22,000 tonnes.

A decade on from its tracker origins, the Nasdaq-listed company is using its first Intersolar under the Nextpower name to position itself as a single-source partner for European developers and EPCs.

The C-parts specialist has published its 2026 photovoltaics catalogue, spanning 138 pages and covering cable management, connectors and tooling for utility-scale installations across Europe.

From 23 to 25 June, sessions examine how solar combines with storage and other technologies, focusing on integration strategies, grid stability, sector coupling and emerging applications across a renewable electricity system.
