Industry leaders at the summit will discuss how AI can drive efficiency, strengthen quality assurance and support operational excellence in Europe’s solar sector.

PV Guided Tours: The integrated Power Store sytem from Denios combines a C&I battery unit with a safety container, designed to protect against thermal runaway while enabling tailored design and fast amortisation. Watch the video to learn more.

Trina Solar has delivered 140 MW of bifacial modules for Voltalia’s Karavasta project, the Western Balkans’ largest solar park, which is expected to power 220,000 households.

The Irish utility has signed a turnkey EPC contract with Greencells for the 64 MW second phase, bringing the County Cork site's total capacity to nearly 137 MW.

The Lidsø solar park marks Alight's first operational project in Denmark, with national railway company DSB secured as offtaker through a long-term PPA.

PV Guided Tours: Industry and commerce are aiming to use every possible surface for solar power – from roofs to façades and car parks. IBC Solar is responding with streamlined, easy-to-adapt mounting systems. Product Manager Sebastian Geier presents the latest solutions.

The move reflects growing investor confidence in the Greek and Cypriot storage markets, supported by favourable regulation and a track record of government-led tenders.

Patrick Schmidt-Bräkling of BayWa r.e. explores uncertainty and future prospects in Europe’s solar PPA market and co-location sector.

The Vienna-based renewable energy developer has commissioned its high-capacity solar park in the Lazio region, delivered under a project financing arrangement with Commerzbank AG.

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.

As Europe’s strained energy grid puts business growth at risk, innovative companies are seizing the moment, as Emmanuel Trivin, Managing Director Continental Europe at Wewise, explains.

PV Guided Tours: The system supplies three-phase backup power and utilises an intelligent EMS. The focus is clearly on safety and efficiency – including for the new, hybrid-cooled Luna2000-215kWh battery storage system for C&I. It has been awarded the highest safety certificate by TÜV Rheinland.

Professor Martin Green of the University of New South Wales is a legend of solar research, holding numerous patents and efficiency records since going all the way 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.

Photovoltaic systems represent an essential component of the energy transition. As investments, operators naturally expect regular returns. This makes technical defects and damage all the more vexing – in particular when they are the result of avoidable mistakes.

Five solar projects with capacities ranging from 20 MW to 225 MW are planned in Sicily, Apulia and Molise, including Italy’s future largest agri-PV park and fixed pricing for each project.

PV Guided Tours: Mounting systems play a crucial role in PV installations by providing stability and reliability over many years. What details do manufacturers focus on to make your work easier? Ludwig M. Schletter from SL Rack shows the latest solutions for optimal installation. Watch the video to find out more.

Rising demand for grid stability, price volatility and lower technology costs are giving battery storage fresh momentum, as highlighted at a recent investors’ summit in Berlin.

The solar and storage markets in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Slovenia and Albania are in their early stages but are expanding rapidly, supported by state programmes and EU funding. Don’t miss our upcoming investor newsletter on 10 December 2025 – sign up now.

Germany pioneered the expansion of photovoltaics, but has also encountered the limits of its system: overloaded grids, negative electricity prices and lengthy permitting processes. Thomas Hartauer of CAV Partners explains how Italy is tackling these challenges.

In the solar sector, security has long meant guarding against lightning, surges, fire and theft. Now cyberattacks pose a new and threat of an altogether different kind.

CEO Talk: The market for home storage is sluggish, while C&I and large-scale storage are gradually gaining ground. To boost sales, the right strategy is essential. The key question remains: What factors determine success in this market? Franz-Josef Feilmeier, CEO of Fenecon explains.

Despite significant challenges in financing and project development, utility-scale battery storage remains within reach. Diego De Lucia of Nexta Capital Partners highlights practical solutions being implemented in Italy.

With an abundance of sunshine and long coastlines, Croatia offers immense PV potential. But investors, developers and homeowners face major challenges. Experts Marija Hanzec and Filip Kušević from the Croatian Renewable Resources Association (OIEH) share their insights.

On the Danish island of Bornholm, a new project will demonstrate state-of-the-art energy storage technologies alongside an advanced energy management system, all from within an operational combined heat and power plant.

PV and storage are gaining recognition as critical infrastructure, and with it comes heightened cyber risk. Secida AG’s Sonna Barry explains how solar companies can strengthen defences against digital attacks.
