An economic solution is emerging in the dispute over EEG feed-in tariffs and grid bottlenecks: battery storage systems that let solar feed-in be managed commercially while easing pressure on the grid, ahead of our next investor newsletter on 16 September.

Module pricing kept splitting along the premium line in August 2026, with TOPCon bifacial posting the month's strongest gain and Back Contact now the most expensive segment, even as inverter pricing moved unevenly and the demand signal continued to cool.

The VP Europe at JA discusses why Europe pushes the company technologically, its evolution into an integrated PV and storage supplier, and the European roadshow introducing partners to its next phase.

PV Guided Tours: The HS5 all-in-one offers a complete way to power private homes. It brings together solar, battery storage, a wallbox and backup power in a single unit, with an AI-based energy manager orchestrating the individual components.

The technology works, users are convinced and money is moving, but without stronger grid links and clearer political backing, the industry warns the rollout risks stalling.

The Hanover trade fair, running from 10 to 13 November 2026 alongside EuroTier, will focus on the self-consumption of solar power by agricultural businesses and on agri-PV, with pv Europe's video team on site to take a look.

PV Guided Tours: LONGi ONE is an integrated storage platform for C&I applications, featuring intelligent energy management and a TÜV-certified early warning system at cell level. Watch the video to find out why storage is becoming a key component of modern energy infrastructure.

The updated European Long Term Investment Fund regulation broadens access to solar projects for institutional and private investors, while PPAs now offer returns independent of public subsidies.

Once a commodity, the solar inverter is now a connected gateway to Europe's energy system. As the market recovers, manufacturers face new pressures from cybersecurity, grid integration, local value creation and geopolitical competition.

CEO Talk: The European energy storage market is growing dynamically, and so are the demands on profitability, safety and system integration. We find out how Ampace is positioning itself in this environment, the role Europe plays for the company, and which advances and technologies are set to shape the market next.

Residential battery prices fell sharply in August, with low-voltage systems down 19 percent. Commercial pricing softened in both size classes, while Deye held the top brand position amid a shifting field of storage specialists.

As the EU tightens cyber rules for networked inverters, manufacturers must navigate both a new compliance burden and a chance to make "made in Europe" count for more.

CEO Talk: Utility-scale solar projects across Europe are under growing cost pressure, even as expectations around yield, grid integration and long-term profitability continue to rise. Which new ideas boost project value, and which innovations matter most to the market? Let‘s find out.

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.

When setting up solar systems, it's crucial to ensure the correct connectors are consistently used. Improper connections can lead to significant and easily avoidable risks.

PV Guided Tours: Atmoce is introducing a 25-year warranty on its residential storage system and unveiling intelligent module-level energy management that supports automated snow clearing of solar panels. On the storage side, the portfolio is being expanded with the C&I BattBank, the first AC-coupled, stackable commercial storage system designed for low-voltage operation.

CEO Talk: Installers and EPCs are facing dual pressure. Project sizes are growing and installation windows are tightening, while demands regarding quality, reliability and safety are rising. How are mounting system providers responding to these challenges? Here’s what they told us.

PV Guided Tours: Homes are increasingly becoming energy producers. Sector coupling within the building is growing in importance and even electric vehicles are now part of the picture.
