May data from sun.store show a broad price decline across residential battery segments, reversing part of the April increase in the performance category. In the commercial segment, pricing remained broadly stable.

METLEN's integrated utility chief explains how the group fuses generation, storage, trading and supply into one platform, underpinning decarbonisation, customer affordability and industrial resilience across more than 40 markets.

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.

Sun.store data show solar module prices climbing across the European market in May, with the PV Purchasing Managers' Index jumping to 70 – its strongest reading since the start of the year.

Energy crises and rising fossil and nuclear prices are making solar and battery storage more attractive than ever, driving demand across industrial rooftops, open land and car parks – find out more in the latest guide.

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: Fenecon presents the Industrial XL with 1.5 MW and four MWh in a new container format for large-scale projects, alongside a flexible power pack for SMEs and the updated Commercial 92 featuring an innovative split-tower design.

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.

Energy costs shape competitiveness in both global and local markets. As fossil and nuclear prices continue to rise, solar and wind are no longer marginal technologies but increasingly represent the smart money in power generation.

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.

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.

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.

Intelligent demand-side management allows companies to lower energy costs and generate new revenue by marketing their flexibility on the electricity market, as EM-Power Europe 2026 in Munich will show from 23 to 25 June.

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.

Sensors, extinguishing systems and pressure relief packaged into a single technical container can simplify planning, speed permitting and give emergency services a clear point of intervention.

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: Industry and commercial enterprises can reduce electricity costs in various ways using storage systems – but security is key. Luis Haya, Solution Manager Chint Power Systems, explains which features are needed to ensure security is safeguarded.

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.

PV Guided Tours: Solar canopies for vines, fruit and berry plantations serve to protect growing fruit from harsh weather and environmental conditions. In most cases, however, the grapevines, the bushes and trees are already firmly rooted in the ground. Mo Horowitz, COO of Solargik, shows how this can be achieved without interrupting agricultural operations – even on slopes.

Podcast: Specialist retailer BayWa r.e. Solar Trade is setting new standards for emissions-free logistics.Suppliers, transport, buildings, and packaging are all being examined, and notable progress has already been made. Dominik Dohr, Vice President of Global Procurement and Supply Chain at BayWa r.e. Solar Trade, has a clear vision in which renewable energy and sustainability go hand in hand. As Europe’s largest solar retailer, the company aims to cut emissions across all areas, from internal processes to logistics and supply chains.

Solar-as-service provider Alight has commissioned a 1.4 MW solar carport at Lear's site in Valls, Spain, alongside new rooftop installations at two manufacturing plants in Poland, bringing the partnership to six European sites.

Lithium-ion storage carries real risks of thermal runaway, fire and explosion. Certified technical containers can shield installations from external hazards and ease the route through building approval processes.

CEO Talk: Uniper brings decades of experience in the energy sector. But what role can such a strong partner play in the solar park and battery storage business? And how important is this expertise in integrating renewable energies into supply systems? Let’s find out.

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.

Technology and energy trading company Second Foundation is developing 307 MW of battery storage across three sites, including Czechia's future largest installation, due online by end of 2026.
