Europe

Three new Eastern European countries hit 1GW of solar in 2023, but many are struggling to maintain the tempo after the 2022 energy crisis.

The Kiwa Group has published a report into PV module testing, which includes recommendations for a number of pass/fail module testing metrics.

One of the ways for the country to increase its installed renewable energy capacity will be through the launch of tenders.

Voltalia has published its financial results for the first half of 2024, which include a 28% increase in turnover compared to H1 2023.

The modules themselves comprise 72 of Oxford PV’s perovskite-on-silicon cells with a conversion efficiency of 24.5%.

Once operational, the project will be the largest of its kind in Europe, according to the renewables developer.

The idea of stationing PV systems at sea is rapidly gaining traction as an exciting new opportunity for the industry.

The Q3 2024 edition of our downstream solar PV journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download, focussing on the US grid.

In total 93 ground-based solar PV projects were awarded Contracts for Difference in the sixth auction round (AR6).

Consisting of eight utility-scale PV projects, which will be located in the central and northern Italian regions of Lazio and Emilia Romagna.
