Many of the mechanisms used to manage the finances of the solar sector have not kept pace with the rate of capacity additions.

The capacity is spread across three commissioned projects: the 40MWp Greenberry, 40MW Fontenet 3 and the 47MW Amance projects.

Fraunhofer ISE research suggests that the average monocrystalline silicon PV module’s power output was 1.2% lower than its nominal capacity.

Construction is slated to begin in Q1 2026 for the solar and energy storage portions and Q3 2026 for the wind assets, Voltalia said.

The company said it would supply "one of the largest tech companies in the US" with roughly 2.9GWh of solar power from 2026 through 2040.

The European Commission has launched a consultation seeking feedback on the State aid Framework accompanying the Clean Industrial Deal.

Velto Renewables and Q Energy have announced plans to develop over 500MW of renewable energy capacity in Europe.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) has committed €250 million to support the development of Burgenland Energie’s 2GW solar and wind portfolio.

The company said its Full Black double-glass module, based on n-type TOPcon cell technology, has a conversion efficiency of 22.8%.

Europe’s solar manufacturing sector heavily favours downstream products such as cells and modules, according to SolarPower Europe.
