Growing hybridisation and co-location of renewable power projects and storage facilities could strengthen revenue in Europe’s power sector.

The gap between the largest and smallest markets in the European renewable energy sector have narrowed in recent years.

Economic trends and the US election have changed the conditions for investment in the European solar sector, say SFIEU panellists.

Ahead of the Solar Finance & Investment Europe event, Bart White of Santander spoke to PV Tech about banks and solar investment.

Slovakian software provider Solargis has launched Evaluate 2.0, the second generation of its 3D PV power plant designer.

Figures suggest that the European solar sector is seeing unprecedented levels of employment but the rate of new job creation is slowing.

December 2024 saw 2GW of power purchase agreements contracted in Europe, making it the second strongest month of the year for off-take deals.

The report from clean energy think tank Ember showed solar PV accounting for 11% of EU electricity while coal fell to historic lows of 10%.

Belectric is set to build what it says will be both the largest PV project in the Netherlands and that the company has built in Europe.

Europe will more than triple its renewable power capacity by 2050, but this rate will not be enough to meet climate goals.
