PV Guided Tours: The new Luterra S2 is an all-in-one residential storage unit, installed in minutes, with AI-driven control. Huawei has also upgraded its commercial storage to deliver more kilowatt-hours. Watch the video for the full picture.
The European Commission's plan targets 46 percent electrification by 2040, with industry groups calling for stronger investment support and an end to double taxation of storage.
PV Guided Tours: Energy management systems integrate not only solar installations and storage but also electric vehicles through bidirectional charging. How does it work, and which functions do such systems offer?
Gerard Scheper of European Solar argues that the positive sentiment seen after Intersolar Europe is no longer just sentiment, it is slowly turning into action.
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.
A 48% expansion in 2025 pushed Europe's operational battery fleet past the milestone, with large-scale systems accounting for more than half of new installations for the first time, SolarPower Europe's European Battery Market Outlook finds.
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.
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.
The Chinese group used this year's Munich show to showcase an integrated product line spanning cells, modules, storage systems and grid infrastructure, backed by a run of new partnership agreements across Eastern Europe.
Launched at Intersolar Europe, the LONGi ONE portfolio pairs the manufacturer's BC solar technology with storage systems built for utility-scale, commercial and off-grid deployment, backed by a growing European service network.
Fully booked halls, 2,650 exhibitors from 52 countries and a Fraunhofer-backed scientific programme made the case that round-the-clock renewable energy is no longer a prospect but a present reality.
The Chinese manufacturer covers capacities from 6 kWh to 6 MWh, with new products including semi-solid cells and a commercial and industrial all-in-one system on show in Munich.
An analysis from the University of Zagreb sets out how a mix of storage and flexibility options, from pumped hydro to bidirectional EV charging, could underpin Croatia's renewable energy transition.
The Osnabrück manufacturer is showcasing bidirectional charging, AI-driven energy management and a new C&I storage system at ees Europe, alongside a peer energy sharing model still in development.
As Europe weighs supply chain dependencies and cybersecurity concerns, Chinese manufacturers are moving beyond TOPCon and back-contact technologies towards a new generation of tandem cell technology, observes Gerard Scheper.
The energy storage finalists for The smarter E Award 2026 bring together a broad mix of chemistries, system sizes and software layers, offering a snapshot of how the storage market is expanding in scope and sophistication.
That energy storage is needed is no longer in question. What matters now is the system it forms together with generation, controllable loads and e-mobility, as Philipp Rasche of ENEO explains.
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.
A ten-hectare facility in Xiamen combines grid simulation, thermal safety and EMC testing at a scale the company says exceeds any comparable platform globally.
Europe's C&I segment is the target of the new LONGi ONE portfolio, which debuts with the OmniCube-L233 and Hi-MO One Pro.
With permitted battery capacity nearly triple the official 2030 target, Croatian developers say the framework no longer fits the market, and transmission upgrades are paying the price.
Projects bringing solar, wind and battery storage together are proving more complex in practice, as system differences and regulatory requirements extend commissioning timelines and place greater demands on coordination.
A multi-country study presented at SolarFlex Croatia, covering 13 markets and 8,000 generators, concludes that storage in the country can already turn a profit purely from network services, well ahead of any trading revenues.
A study by the Hrvoje Požar Energy Institute and the University of Zagreb finds battery storage cuts system costs by up to 15 percent, supporting payback within around ten years.
The event offers direct engagement with suppliers and an extensive programme focused on bioenergy, photovoltaics and energy storage.
