PV Tech Premium spoke with Oxford PV's CEO about bringing perovskite solar products to market and the conditions for future innovation.

Floating PV's carbon footprint could be around seven times lower than ground-mounted solar systems, according to a TNO-IEA report.

The tender will seek ground-mounted solar PV projects and onshore wind capacity, though the Commission has yet to announce the tendered capacity.

Solar PV accounted for 90% of all renewables that received an Administrative Construction Authorisation (AAC in Spanish).

Solar and wind power accounted for 30% of the EU’s electricity generation in H1 2024, exceeding the contribution of fossil fuels.

The Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition (MITECO) has published the regulatory basis for the €750 million (US$812 million) incentive scheme for renewables and storage manufacturing.

Global power platform Nala Renewables has acquired a 34MW PV portfolio in Lithuania from Lithuanian renewable power developer Green Genius.

The portfolio consists of three solar projects – with 160MW, 67MW and 40MW of capacity each – located in Central Greece.

Fortis Energy has acquired a 180MWac solar project in Serbia, with plans to add a battery energy storage system (BESS) to the facility.

PV Tech Premium reports on the barriers now facing European solar, from changing political winds to lagging grid modernisation efforts.
