As solar technology evolves from kilowatt-scale arrays to multi‑megawatt rooftops, manufacturers and developers across Europe are redefining project economics and grid integration.
Planning software is an indispensable tool for the efficient and precise design of PV systems and projects, whether on the roof, on the ground, on water or on facades – or combined with storage. We will be presenting a number of interesting solutions in our thematic focus next week.
A novel machine learning framework developed by IIASA (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis) researchers to estimate global rooftop area growth from 2020 to 2050 can aid in planning sustainable energy systems, urban development, and climate change mitigation.
In 2022, Italy finally returned to Europe’s GW Club, with 2.48 GW of new PV systems installed. Alberto Nadai, Area Sales Manager – Northern Italy at Q Cells, analyzes the different sectors and the expected developments.
Berlin-based solar-as-a-service provider Ecoligo is expanding to the Philippines. Together with local subcontractors, projects with a total capacity of 42,61 MW are planned. Financing comes from private investors, as CEO Martin Baart describes.
The Swedish PV market saw strong growth in 2021, with solar parks above 1 MW in the lead.
The potential for both residential and commercial applications is still huge. But the demands of the market are changing. In addition to larger modules with higher output, aesthetics now play an increasingly important role, especially in the residential sector.
Trina Solar has launched its new Vertex 510W black frame module, thereby expanding its ultra-high power range and boosting solar energy on large rooftops throughout Europe.
