Europe’s post-2022 solar surge has slowed, prompting a closer look at the structural bottlenecks that must be addressed to sustain the continent’s energy transition.

The world added a record 664GW of new solar PV capacity in 2025, pushing cumulative global operational solar capacity above 3TW.

Europe has avoided €10 billion in gas imports since the start of the Iran war thanks to power generated from its solar PV fleet, according to research from SolarPower Europe.

A faster rollout of solar and storage could cut the operating costs of European energy by 49% by 2030, according to SolarPower Europe.

The European Commission (EC) has launched a new strategy to address the fossil fuel energy crisis in the Middle East and accelerate the “shift to homegrown, clean energies”, said EC president Ursula von der Leyen.

R.Power's Michał Swół speaks to PV Tech Premium about Germany's position as a leader in Europe's renewable energy auction space.

Solar power has saved the EU over €110 million (US$127.5 million) a day since the outbreak of war in the Middle East, according to SolarPower Europe.

SolarPower Europe tells PV Tech Premium of the benefits of a ‘complimentary’ relationship between auctions and corporate PPAs.

EU member states awarded a record 25.2GW of new solar PV capacity through auctions in 2025, according to SolarPower Europe.

SolarPower Europe has released two new technical due diligence reports for utility-scale hybrid solar PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.
