Large storage systems become more and more popular in Europe. Important reasons for this are the increasing demand for grid stabilization services and the shifting of peak loads. Italy, Great Britain and Germany are ahead of the game. Download the new e-paper now – for free!

CCE Italia is commissioning its first grid-parity (without subsidised tariffs) photovoltaic plant in Italy, the solar park in Ardea.

Research into silicon-based solar cells is progressing in leaps and bounds, and the latest generation of solar cells, which will again be significantly more efficient than the currently dominant n-type solar cells, will soon be introduced: Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells, as  Intersolar Europe reports.

Poland’s electricity sector is in the midst of a profound shift, driven by accelerating investment in wind and solar power. Since 2020, the share of renewables has nearly doubled – from 15% to almost 30%. The challenge now lies in preparing the national grid for the next leap: integrating more than 90 gigawatts of clean energy by 2040.

The Primo unit from SAX Power connects directly to a secured socket – no battery inverter required. As project manager Reinhard Birmuske explains, this all-rounder is remarkably easy to install.

“Let’s Flex. Welcome to the Solar Flex Era” is the motto of this year’s SolarPower Summit 2025, held in Brussels on 26 and 27 March. The event also marks the 40th anniversary of organiser SolarPower Europe.

The Spanish market is focused strongly on price and utility-scale projects, and has faced pressure in recent times. An increasing emphasis on solutions for self-consumption and energy communities is an opportunity but will also be challenging, explains Miguel Giménez at K2 Systems.

The latest version of the monitoring system extends its use to tiled roofs. Designed by K2 Systems, it helps safeguard photovoltaic modules against damage from excessive snow loads.

Founded in 1982, the German PV company was among the pioneers of the solar market. Today, it offers the full value chain of solar services, and has established a strong presence in Poland. Chief Sales Officer (CSO) Patrik Danz shares his insights on the business.

The Danish Society for Nature Conservation and European Energy have signed a cooperation deal to ensure that upcoming renewable energy projects contribute positively to Denmark’s natural environment.

In the webinar, you will learn how to plan photovoltaic systems even on complex sites and how to design a suitable project tender. Our experts from K2 Systems will reveal their tricks and tips for designing systems in the webinar, which is free of charge.

Installation company Skapa Energi has launched operations in western Sweden, but its ambitions are nationwide. European components and high-quality installations are central to the company’s approach, CEO Robert Lenhov explains.

The solar energy company is offering employees a chance to invest in its new rooftop PV system in Polch, Germany – supporting the energy transition while generating financial benefits for the team.

To mitigate land use conflicts between agriculture and photovoltaics, researchers at the University of Sheffield have been investigating the abundant potential of combining the two.

Vertically mounted solar modules offer a smart way to dual-use agricultural land. Marius Sinn, agrivoltaics sales specialist at Next2Sun, explains the benefits and how the systems are installed.
