Are you a renewable energy expert from Saxony or the surrounding region? Looking to expand your network and connect with key players in Eastern Germany’s renewable energy sector? Don’t miss Solar Solutions Leipzig 2025, taking place on January 29th and 30th at Leipziger Messe. Here’s why you should attend:
Solarwatt presents the next generation of storage systems with the Battery Vision. The home storage system has a modular design with a capacity of 5.2 to 182 kilowatt hours and has been developed for sector coupling in the home.
Global renewable energy developer and solutions provider BayWa r.e. has successfully completed three PV self-consumption projects for Merck and Tetra Pak.
Elio offers planning, consulting and key components for solar-electric buildings. The overall concept for a highly independent energy supply in new and existing buildings is based on digitally controlled infrared heaters, a domestic hot water heat pump and photovoltaics.
Photovoltaic systems on arable and agricultural land are becoming increasingly popular. Noam Shvartz, agri-PV expert at Solaredge, explains an important consideration for farmers who decide to switch to agri-PV.
The software manufacturer Trace has introduced the latest version of the Archelios Pro planning software. The last upgrade focused on 3D modelling of the environment.
At the Agritechnica agricultural trade fair, researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) showed what a development kit for electric tractors could look like. The platform offers modules for various purposes and, if required, a kind of power bank as an exchangeable battery.
Berliner Stadtwerke has installed a photovoltaic system on the roof of the Topography of Terror Documentation Centre. In future, the centre in Berlin Mitte will be able to cover almost 40 per cent of its electricity needs with solar energy from its own roof.
KIT, ETH Zurich and the Jülich Research Centre have investigated the potential of single-family homes to become energy self-sufficient. In the next step, they want to investigate the impact of this self-sufficiency on the energy system.
Genera 2023 registered a new record number of visitors. One reason for this is that solar is currently booming in Spain and on the Iberian Peninsula. The international trade fair recorded more than 35,000 trade visitors and 402 exhibitors from 21 countries.
With the EP Cube, Canadian Solar's subsidiary CSI Solar is presenting an all-in-one energy storage solution for residential applications in combination with residential solar photovoltaic systems.
Intersolar Europe and the French-German Office for Energy Transition (DFBEW) will be giving a free webinar on Agrivoltaics in Germany and France: Potentials and Challenges on Tuesday, March 14, 2023, from 11am–noon.
Balcony solar systems deliver relatively good yields even in winter. This is due to the low sun. The online shop Greenakku offers these complete packages. These include not only balcony solar systems with one or two solar power modules, but also systems with up to eight panels.
GoodWe recently launched its single-phase, low-voltage hybrid inverter: the ES G2 Series. This inverter comes with features such as energy backup and peak shaving.
The solar business gains momentum, the demand is very high. Everybody is focussing on power output. This means more inverters with more functions to combine solar energy with e-mobility, with energy storage, with electrical heat and connecting to the grid. Large challenges for suppliers like Kostal Solar Electric.
Blue Pearl Energy announced the integration of France Solar into its network of specialist SMEs. This acquisition enables Blue Pearl Energy to take a significant market share in the B2B photovoltaic sector, at a key moment in the development of the solar industry in France.
About half of the wallboxes are integrated into solar systems, as a recent study shows. It also provides economic and political decision-makers with insights into the challenges of the market.
The BMW and Eon groups are currently investigating how an electric vehicle can be used sensibly as a solar power storage unit at home. The practical test should provide important insights for future products - also for smart meters and flexible electricity tariffs.
Photovoltaics for generating one's own electricity is becoming increasingly popular on farms. Farmer Alexander Kuhn, for example, has installed a self-power system consisting of photovoltaics and a storage unit with Kostal technology on his 70-hectare farm.
The Zappi Wallbox from Myenergi combines dynamic load management and solar surplus charging in one device.
With a number of solar canopies under their belt, Urbasolar is currently building a 30-megawatt system over the parking lots at Disneyland Paris. Deputy CEO Paul Keurinck explains what to consider when planning and realising such systems.
The German utility Eon and Adeje, a municipality in southwest Tenerife, are building an innovative energy community. It is the first of its kind in Europe and so far the largest solar district in Spain. Their goal: energy to come entirely from local, renewable sources.
Finding the right system size and deciding for or against a storage unit: This is something that a new planning software is supposed to provide assistance with for decision-makers in farms in the future.
3M has built a solar ground-mounted system on a section of its company premises in Hilden. For the National Association of Renewable Energies, this is a successful example of optimal land use and worthy of imitation.
The start-up Charge Here, a spin-off company of EnBW, offers charging solutions for the electrification of company fleets. With Charge Solar, companies charge their EVs with self-generated solar power and optimise their self-consumption.
