Bids open on 29 October in the first Irish auction with a separate pot for solar, new EU rules on how bids are scored and extra points for battery storage.
Ukrainians have lived with Russia’s full-scale invasion for years. Since September, attacks have grown more frequent and more brutal. With winter approaching, help is needed more than ever.
Commissioned by Fluence, the study finds flexible capacity from a battery costs $371 million over 25 years in Texas – under a third of the price of gas and a sixth of diesel.
CEO Talk: instalment purchasing made easy. With solid partners behind them, installers can offer customers loans for their solar setup alongside the build itself. What does this mean for installers? More work or more orders? Watch to find out.
More than 75 module assemblers operate across the continent, against just one ingot-and-wafer project and one polysilicon producer. Now over 35 industry players want the Industrial Accelerator Act to fill the gaps.
Around 720 projects with 9 GW of capacity are competing for grid connections worth around €2 billion in investment, but analysts are split on how much will actually be built.
While solar and wind are being built faster than ever, grids, storage and efficiency are falling behind as demand rises. In its new outlook, IRENA says electrification and wider reform are now key to getting back on a 1.5°C pathway.
Seven months into the Middle East war, the solar industry is pushing an emergency package of rooftop solar and large-scale batteries to make those savings last, and EU leaders appear to be listening.
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.
Why wait for a new build? Almost 40 percent of standalone PPA offers in Europe, and close to 60 percent for wind, now come from projects that are already generating.
Harald Scherleitner discusses Fronius's return to growth, the strategic case for building in Europe and why cybersecurity has become a defining purchasing criterion for inverters.
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.
As global battery storage grows towards 500–700 GWh by 2030, ACCURE’s Valentin Lorscheid argues that reactive operations and single-vendor monitoring are eroding returns, and explains how operators can get ahead.
After passing 9 GW of installed PV in 2025, the EU's newest solar frontrunner is now targeting more than 12 GW by 2030. The Intersolar Summit Romania will bring 350 delegates to Bucharest on 13–14 October to map out the opportunities.
Prices for modules and home batteries headed in opposite directions in September 2026, sun.store’s indices show, as module demand edged up and commercial storage stayed firm.
All three home storage tiers rose in September 2026, by between 7 and 10 percent, with low-voltage systems reaching €94.4/kWh. Commercial pricing held steady in smaller systems and firmed in larger ones, sun.store data shows.
SolarEdge's European chief explains why hyperscaler power demand and cybersecurity concerns around Chinese inverters are reshaping the company's strategy on the continent, alongside AI, US manufacturing and the new Nexis platform.
Households can claim up to €9,000 towards an electric car, and €2,500 for an electric motorcycle or moped, from a €20 million fund. Applications open on 28 October 2026.
All four module segments slipped in September 2026, with TOPCon bifacial at €0.114/W. sun.store’s purchasing managers’ index rose to 67 from 65, just below its historical average of 68.
Battery projects are assessed on cell quality, warranties, safety and expected revenues, market expert Gerard Scheper explains. But one crucial question is too often overlooked: can the owner continue operating the system if the original supplier or software provider disappears?
A new position paper from Eurelectric warns that Europe's network tariff reform must balance harmonisation with national flexibility, safeguard investment signals and avoid distorting wholesale markets as electrification accelerates.
Europe's grid queues hold 1,700 GW of stalled projects. Sharing connections between wind and PV could ease the bottleneck, but regulation, permitting and grid operators keep hybrid parks a rarity, explains Philipp Rasche of ENEO.
A battery storage system can deliver value in several ways, but the more a business relies on it, the greater the consequences of downtime. Solarif Group chief executive Harry Wolkenfelt explains why value stacking calls for a broader view of risk
Local clean energy projects backed by Great British Energy, the UK’s publicly owned clean energy company, will now have to source solar components from Solar Stewardship Initiative members or suppliers with equivalent ESG assurance.
IDTechEx expects cumulative installations to pass 10.5 TWh by 2037. Annual deployments more than tripled between 2023 and 2025, led by China and the US, while Europe scales up through UK and Italian frameworks.
