The European solar sector has defied expectations to record its second-best year ever for deployment, according to a new study from trade association SolarPower Europe (SPE).
EU’s plan to lead the global fight for a greener and fairer economy finds European PV ready for a deployment surge, after installing 16.7GW continent-wide in stellar 2019.
SPE, ETIP PV: Bolder approach would help continent seize largely untapped building-integrated PV potential, which goes well beyond rooftop installations.
Far right will lack clout to reverse clean energy progress despite gains at EU election that dented support to mainstream parties, analysts and associations tell PV Tech.
300,000-strong solar workforce could see bloc add 30 million rooftop installations by 2030, says SolarPower Europe as it anticipates new policy roadmap.
The European Union solar market grew by 36% in 2018 and very strong demand for PV in Europe is expected in the next two years, said trade group SolarPower Europe.
Member States of the European Union, through the Committee of Permanent Representatives (COREPER I), have voted to maintain priority dispatch for small-scale solar PV installations up to 400kW.
