High power prices and increased energy storage usage have led to a sharp increase in self-consumption of solar power in Germany since 2022, according to data from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).

A Fraunhofer and SolarPower Europe study has concluded that reaching the EU's annual solar module manufacturing target of 30GW is achievable.

Scientists from Germany and Saudi Arabia have discovered that perovskite thin-film cells are compatible with current industry standard silicon solar cells, which they claim is a “crucial step toward the industrialisation of perovskite silicon tandem solar cells”.

Fraunhofer ISE has completed testing work of grid-forming inverters currently available in the energy industry.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) will build a pilot solar cell line in Germany to support US manufacturer Talon PV’s efforts to establish solar cell capacity in the US.

Greater policy clarity will be needed if Germany is realise its FPV potential, according to a report from Fraunhofer ISE.

Many European countries generated record levels of solar power in the first half of 2025, according to figures from Fraunhofer ISE.

Germany could install 500GW of new solar agrivoltaics (agriPV) capacity on its most 'suitable' land, according to Fraunhofer ISE.

A new manufacturing method has produced tandem perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells with a conversion efficiency of 27.8%.

Fraunhofer ISE has developed a solar cell which uses “one-tenth” of the amount of silver as a standard cell.
