A €18.9 million financing package will support construction of the solar installation at Hellenic Halyvourgia's steelworks, covering around 20% of electricity needs and cutting annual carbon emissions by more than 22,000 tonnes.

A new 54 MW solar park in Saxony-Anhalt has been added to an existing wind farm, sharing the same substation and grid connection and demonstrating how renewables can expand without further straining the network.

Danish developer European Energy has started construction of the Indian Queens project in Cornwall, combining 67.96 MW of solar capacity with a 95 MWh battery system, with revenues secured through a corporate PPA and a capacity market contract.

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: Solis offers a broad portfolio of inverters for residential and C&I. A standout highlight is the new hybrid inverter with 125 kilowatts of power and ten MPP trackers. On the service side, the company is increasingly focusing on AI capable of responding in real time – a clear benefit for installers and consumers.
