lede The MET Group subsidiary has brought ten new distribution-connected sites online in France, lifting total operational capacity in the country to more than 86 MW / 143 MWh.
PV Guided Tours: With 690 W and an efficiency of 25.6%, AIKO Energy once again sets new benchmarks with its fourth-generation modules. In the video, we explore the technical details and outline future developments.
The agrivoltaics specialist is raising up to €5 million to fund a pipeline that includes more than 70 MW planned for 2027, betting its morning-and-evening generation profile gives it an edge over conventional solar plants.
Two hybrid sites at Stouby and Agersted bring European Energy's grid-connected storage in Denmark to more than 375 MWh across 96.75 MW.
As solar and battery storage projects scale up, the industry's exposure to fire, serial defects and unmanaged risk is outpacing its reliance on insurance alone, argues Harry Wolkenfelt of Solarif Group.
Gerard Scheper of European Solar argues that the positive sentiment seen after Intersolar Europe is no longer just sentiment, it is slowly turning into action.
CEO Talk: The project business revolves around modules, inverters and mounting systems. Small components such as cable ties, connectors or protective conduits for wiring are often neglected. Sooner or later, such oversights will come back to haunt you. We find out why.
This special edition explores how farmers can use land more efficiently by combining agriculture with solar energy. It also covers technology, insurance and the shift to e-mobility in farming.
The country's first dedicated clean energy act aligns Skopje with EU rules, introducing auctions, two-way CfDs and corporate PPAs. Colenco CEO Nikola Bitrak assesses what the framework achieves and where work remains.
PV Guided Tours: Demands on mounting are rising, and manufacturers are responding with designs that meet rooftop regulations while still allowing rapid installation. Ludwig Maximilian Schletter of SL Rack demonstrates how it works.
Podcast: Cybersecurity is a critical issue for inverters and solar storage. Uri Sadot, Cybersecurity Programme Director at SolarEdge and Chair of Digitalisation at SolarPower Europe, outlines system vulnerabilities, recent incidents and the urgent need for preventive action. He warns: caution blocks criminal access, while hesitation invites costly failures and grid disruptions.
Banks are stepping up warnings to solar operators as loans fall into arrears, with output restrictions and falling power prices squeezing project income and pushing some towards default.
With 50 GW of licensed projects awaiting connection terms and dealmaking in full swing, the country's largest renewables event returns for its eighth edition on 20 and 21 October.
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.
Roofs and flat open spaces aren't the only options for solar power. Applications that pose particular challenges for project planning and installation technology are increasingly coming into focus.
Full Black overtook the field to become the priciest module segment, while TOPCon bifacial kept easing. The PV PMI slipped to 65, its softest reading in months and a notch below the historical average, according to sun.store data.
The Swedish Transport Administration has awarded Soltech subsidiary E-Mobility a two-year framework agreement for EV charging infrastructure at its properties across Sweden, with a potential value of SEK 28 million and an option to extend for a further two years.
PV Guided Tours: Lightweight modules that offer a solution for load-restricted roofs. Or special technologies that enable durable and flexible solar modules without glass. Is this magic? Let’s find out.
Storage is no longer in question. What matters now is the system it forms with generation, controllable loads and e-mobility, argues Philipp Rasche of ENEO.
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.
With module prices currently low, investing in solar is particularly attractive, although conditions may not remain this favourable for long. The battery storage market is also gaining momentum, especially for large-scale systems. Dutch market analyst Gerard Scheper talks about the drivers behind the shift and what changes to expect.
High-voltage residential systems cheapened further while low-voltage products firmed for the first time in months, according to sun.store data, as commercial storage pricing eased across the board.
Expected capacity will comfortably beat 2024's record, but battery installations will reach only 1.1 GW, leaving projects exposed to curtailment and falling prices.
A conditional long-term agreement to supply around 17,000 m² of photovoltaic roof tiles annually positions the Polish manufacturer as a volume supplier for the Western European refurbishment market.
CEO Talk: Solar parks are growing in size, with cost pressure, construction timelines and availability all becoming tighter. How can projects be implemented faster, more cost-effectively and more reliably? What role do pre-assembled cabling, aluminium cables and smart combiner boxes play? Oliver Glenz, CSO of HIS Renewables, has all the answers.
