A record 27.1 GWh of battery storage was added across the continent in 2025, but many operators still cannot see how their assets perform. Stephan Rohr of TWAICE argues that operational data will define the market’s next phase.
PV Guided Tours: HYXI is showing off its newly unveiled Muse AI-Native Energy OS, which transforms energy use from passive backup into active, learning intelligence. Highlights include the Aura all-in-one storage, the AC-coupled Halo micro-storage system and the liquid-cooled Atlas C&I unit.
CEO Talk: ENTEGRO develops, plans and implements PV projects for companies and investors. Driven by the ambition to always be one idea better, the company consistently pushes innovation, efficiency and project quality. What this means in practice, and how it translates into real economic advantages, is revealed in a behind-the-scenes look.
The era of petrol and diesel dominance is drawing to a close. Mobility is transitioning to electric, with millions of private electric cars, company fleets, and commercial vehicles creating new demands on the energy supply. Filling stations, parking garages, and parking lots now represent opportunities to provide EVs with solar power.
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.
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.
Battery projects are assessed on cell quality, warranties, safety and expected revenues, market expert Gerard Scheper explains. But one crucial question is too often overlooked: can the owner continue operating the system if the original supplier or software provider disappears?
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
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.
Europe’s battery storage sector has scaled at record pace, but many operators still struggle to see how their assets perform. Stephan Rohr of TWAICE argues that operational data will shape the market’s next phase.
CEO Talk: What does the future of energy storage in Europe look like? Safer, smarter and more connected – from commercial rooftops to utility-scale projects. AlphaESS shows how a single open system can link all of these applications together. Find out more about the strategy behind it.
Professor Martin Green of the University of New South Wales is a leading figure in solar research, holding numerous patents and efficiency records dating back to 1974. Now Chief Scientific Officer at Euronergy, he is focused on developing glass-free, lightweight modules that are exceptionally thin and easy to install.
Eurelectric’s Power Barometer 2026 finds that clean electricity softened another fossil-fuel shock for Europe, but storage build-out is still falling well short of the pace needed to keep the system stable to 2030.
A battery storage system can deliver value in several ways, but the more a business relies on it, the greater the consequences of downtime. Solarif Group chief executive Harry Wolkenfelt explains why value stacking calls for a broader view of risk
Solar park construction is picking up pace worldwide, but the bottleneck is not materials or components. It is land, grid connection points and the people to do the work. Sign up for our investor newsletter to receive this digital edition directly.
CEO Talk: the most efficient kilowatt-hour of solar power is the one used on site. That calls for clever ways of integrating a wide range of components as flexibly as possible: heat pumps, EV charging, air conditioning and more. How can buildings make maximum use of the solar energy on their roofs? Find out in the video. (German with English subtitles)
PV Guided Tours: Sigenergy presents its system approach for energy and infrastructure projects. From 1,000-volt AC technology to intelligent energy management, the innovations lift both the efficiency and the returns of solar projects.
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.
Local clean energy projects backed by Great British Energy, the UK’s publicly owned clean energy company, will now have to source solar components from Solar Stewardship Initiative members or suppliers with equivalent ESG assurance.
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.
PV Guided Tours: Huawei’s new Luterra S2 is an all-in-one residential storage unit, installed in minutes, with AI-driven control. The company has also upgraded its commercial storage to deliver more kilowatt-hours. Watch the video for the full picture.
CEO Talk: The utility business in Europe is growing and increasingly challenging. Solar fields now come with large batteries, and suppliers must meet standards for grid compliance, safety and security. How is the business changing and what strategy will ultimately succeed? Leon Zhang, President of LONGi Europe, shares his view.
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.
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.
