IDTechEx expects cumulative installations to pass 10.5 TWh by 2037. Annual deployments more than tripled between 2023 and 2025, led by China and the US, while Europe scales up through UK and Italian frameworks.
The Hanover trade fair, running from 10 to 13 November 2026 alongside EuroTier, will focus on the self-consumption of solar power by agricultural businesses and on agri-PV, with pv Europe's video team on site to take a look.
PV Guided Tours: Speed and simple handling are what installers demand of rooftop mounting. With versatile substructures and just a handful of tools, modules can go onto virtually any roof in record time. Sounds too good to be true? Watch the video.
PV Guided Tours: Gotion’s new Grid Q battery system can help stabilise the grid as well as store energy. In this video, we find out how the company is bringing local storage production to the European market.
New alliances are forming in Europe to advance energy storage, with manufacturers of lithium cells for electric vehicles playing a key part. The investor newsletter will be published on 14 October 2026.
Eurelectric’s Power Barometer 2026 finds that clean electricity cushioned Europe from a fresh fossil-fuel shock this year, yet storage build-out is still falling well short of the pace needed to keep the system stable through 2030.
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.
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.
The EU’s main tool for rebuilding solar manufacturing is off to a slow start, with most countries yet to apply its auction rules, a new SolarPower Europe report finds.
The EU's plan to end reliance on Russian energy has lost momentum, auditors warn, with member states earmarking just 54.3 billion euros of the 300 billion euros needed to meet its targets.
Europe's grid queues hold 1,700 GW of stalled projects. Sharing connections between wind and PV could ease the bottleneck, but regulation, permitting and grid operators keep hybrid parks a rarity, explains Philipp Rasche of ENEO.
Two analyses, two pressure points: Eurelectric calls for smarter network tariffs, while market expert Gerard Scheper warns that direct C&I battery sales leave installers handling integration, commissioning and service.
Europe’s electric truck market may be accelerating, but the slow rollout of charging is holding it back. Moritz Vornfeld of Kempower argues that busy, flexible depots will matter more than public hubs or grants
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.
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.
As the EU tightens cyber rules for networked inverters, manufacturers must navigate both a new compliance burden and a chance to make "made in Europe" count for more.
Solar and battery storage projects are only as insurable and bankable as the decisions taken long before financial close, argues the CEO and founder of Solarif Group. Effective De-Risking starts at the drawing board, not at the signing table.
Once a commodity, the solar inverter is now a connected gateway to Europe's energy system. As the market recovers, manufacturers face new pressures from cybersecurity, grid integration, local value creation and geopolitical competition.
Providers, growers and researchers will convene at Château Gassies on 13 and 14 October 2026 to share the latest findings on combining crop production with solar generation across European conditions.
Two new analyses examine Europe's evolving PV landscape: SolarEdge maps five trends reshaping distributed solar, and a SolarPower Europe webinar explores how quality decisions define 30 years of asset value.
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.
Sungrow Europe's team leader for technical sales explains how the company is scaling European production, software and infrastructure while strengthening its position on grid integration, cybersecurity and C&I solutions.
Tariff-responsive energy management, multi-tenant solar, building mandates, stronger C&I storage economics and shifting system sizes are redefining how distributed solar is deployed across the continent, Robert Bruchner of SolarEdge argues.
As a rule, one to three percent of investment is allocated to operation and maintenance over 20 years, making solar parks low-maintenance assets with significantly lower costs than fossil or nuclear plants.
Experts are calling for energy efficiency to be embedded in industrial, security and defence policy, warning that Germany's dependence on fossil fuel imports has long been a structural security risk.
