One award, five categories, 15 winners and an abundance of innovative and intelligent ideas, products, services and projects: The next The smarter E AWARD is already on the horizon. Companies can submit their applications for the coveted award starting November 1, 2024. The application period ends on January 31, 2025.
The information offered by the editors of photovoltaik, pv Europe and the German Agricultural Society (DLG) on agricultural PV and self-generated electricity was very well received at the trade fair in Hanover. This shows that the need for information on photovoltaics in agriculture is huge - as is the willingness to invest.
A new Mc Kinsey analysis highlights disparity between project target volumes, expected volumes and those reaching FID is significant – threatening the pace of the energy transition.
The solar modules of the new plant in Gaweinstal in Lower Austria are installed on trackers. This means that the area can still be used for agriculture. However, the technology also has other advantages.
DLG, photovoltaik and pv Europe bring the solar industry and agriculture together: Get into direct dialogue with farmers and develop specific projects together. For the first time, Energy Decentral offers a forum for the solar offensive in agriculture.
The provider Sungrow is presenting an updated version of its iSolarcloud app. The intelligent management and monitoring system enables comprehensive life cycle management for photovoltaics and home storage systems.
An analysis by EUPD Research has shown that the total costs of a heat pump, including purchase, installation and maintenance, drop drastically with solar power.
The Austrian manufacturer my-PV recently received the prestigious Energy Globe Austria environmental award in the "Earth" category at a ceremony in Linz.
Sungrow, one of the largest manufacturers of PV inverters and ESS unveils the new, fully integrated EV Charger with the aim of accelerating the adoption of green transport.
SUNGROW has become one of the dominant forces in the PV inverter space in Europe. As a worldwide market leader, Sungrow ranks No.1 with 47 GW PV inverters shipped in 2021, according to IHS Markit now a part of S&P Global estimate. Sungrow has already captured a global market share of over 30% in 2021.
IMPRESSIVE project aims at developing the first fully transparent photovoltaic (PV) device with 14% efficiency that will enable to save 15% of energy consumption in European south-oriented façade buildings.
Technological progress in renewables could revolutionise global energy use. While electricity has so far covered only one fifth of the world's energy needs, green power could actually account for three quarters in the long term if climate policy is consistent.
The Austrian manufacturer of total energy solutions M-Tec has expanded its portfolio to include a stackable battery storage system with an equally stackable hybrid inverter, called the "Energy-Butler".

Researchers at the University of Stavanger in Norway have studied the economic viability of solar building envelopes. The result: In most European countries, BIPV has reached grid parity.
EUPD Research will publish the results of the 13th edition of the Global PV Installer Monitor 2020/2021 for the Polish market. In 2020 more than half of the Polish installers procured their PV modules through specialized wholesalers.
What drives me? The vision that the many convincing arguments in favour of a comprehensive energy supply based on photovoltaics (and other renewable energies) will soon find their way into the consciousness of citizens, but also of business, the media and, above all, politics.
The power of the sun is in many ways a gift for the earth's inhabitants. With photovoltaics, we succeed in making solar energy usable for our energy needs - and in all sectors.
The possibilities for integrating photovoltaics into the building envelope are enormous. At least there are plenty of areas available for this in Germany, as researchers in the Standard-BIPV project have calculated.
