CEO Talk: As subsidies phase out, electricity prices turn negative and Europe reshapes its regulatory framework, the question now is who will remain competitive. We find out how SKYWORTH Solar is positioning itself for a new era in the European energy market.
Energy crises and rising fossil and nuclear prices are making solar and battery storage more attractive than ever, driving demand across industrial rooftops, open land and car parks – find out more in the latest guide.
Seven months into the Middle East war, the solar industry is pushing an emergency package of rooftop solar and large-scale batteries to make those savings last, and EU leaders appear to be listening.
As global battery storage grows towards 500–700 GWh by 2030, ACCURE’s Valentin Lorscheid argues that reactive operations and single-vendor monitoring are eroding returns, and explains how operators can get ahead.
PV Guided Tours: The market expects complete and well-integrated systems that are intelligently managed and, increasingly, supported by AI. We find out what makes it possible to build smart energy systems of this kind.
PV Guided Tours: The HS5 all-in-one offers a complete way to power private homes. It brings together solar, battery storage, a wallbox and backup power in a single unit, with an AI-based energy manager orchestrating the individual components.
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.
A Biohaus Foundation truck packed with solar modules and batteries is due to leave Paderborn for five sites across Ukraine. Among them are hospitals in Kyiv, Sumy and Trostianets, which will need power they can rely on as winter approaches.
As manufacturers bypass distributors and sell C&I storage directly to installers and EPCs, buyers must establish who handles integration, commissioning and repairs. Removing a distributor does not remove the work, says market expert Gerard Scheper.
Around 720 projects with 9 GW of capacity are competing for grid connections worth around €2 billion in investment, but analysts are split on how much will actually be built.
The technology works, users are convinced and money is moving, but without stronger grid links and clearer political backing, the industry warns the rollout risks stalling.
After passing 9 GW of installed PV in 2025, the EU's newest solar frontrunner is now targeting more than 12 GW by 2030. The Intersolar Summit Romania will bring 350 delegates to Bucharest on 13–14 October to map out the opportunities.
Global battery storage capacity is set to nearly triple by 2030, and operators are already drowning in alarms. Valentin Lorscheid of ACCURE explains how to get ahead of problems, and why independent data matters.
Brussels policymakers and fruit growers who met near Bordeaux this year saw a sector ready to grow, provided regulation keeps agriculture firmly at the centre of every project.
PV Guided Tours: LONGi ONE is an integrated storage platform for C&I applications, featuring intelligent energy management and a TÜV-certified early warning system at cell level. Watch the video to find out why storage is becoming a key component of modern energy infrastructure.
CEO Talk: Demand for private and commercial solar rooftops is picking up and the expansion of solar parks continues to accelerate. Yet rising metal prices and energy costs are putting pressure on suppliers of mounting technology. Ludwig Schletter, CEO of SL Rack, talks about the challenges.
Photovoltaic systems represent an essential component of the energy transition. As investments, operators naturally expect regular returns. This makes technical defects and damage all the more vexing – in particular when they are the result of avoidable mistakes.
A recent SolarPower Europe webinar brought together industry, research and the Horizon Europe SUPERNOVA project to examine what defines reliable, bankable solar assets over their full lifetime.
CEO Talk: Utility-scale solar projects across Europe are under growing cost pressure, even as expectations around yield, grid integration and long-term profitability continue to rise. Which new ideas boost project value, and which innovations matter most to the market? Let‘s find out.
CEO Talk: The European energy storage market is growing dynamically, and so are the demands on profitability, safety and system integration. We find out how Ampace is positioning itself in this environment, the role Europe plays for the company, and which advances and technologies are set to shape the market next.
All three home storage tiers rose in September 2026, by between 7 and 10 percent, with low-voltage systems reaching €94.4/kWh. Commercial pricing held steady in smaller systems and firmed in larger ones, sun.store data shows.
As TOPCon dominance gives way to a more differentiated market, Ignacio Espinosa of JA (formerly JA Solar) sets out what really separates one module from another.
SolarEdge's European chief explains why hyperscaler power demand and cybersecurity concerns around Chinese inverters are reshaping the company's strategy on the continent, alongside AI, US manufacturing and the new Nexis platform.
CEO Talk: Installers and EPCs are facing dual pressure. Project sizes are growing and installation windows are tightening, while demands regarding quality, reliability and safety are rising. How are mounting system providers responding to these challenges? Here’s what they told us.
PV Guided Tours: Atmoce is introducing a 25-year warranty on its residential storage system and unveiling intelligent module-level energy management that supports automated snow clearing of solar panels. On the storage side, the portfolio is being expanded with the C&I BattBank, the first AC-coupled, stackable commercial storage system designed for low-voltage operation.
