Our trend report reveals Brazil’s solar power and renewable energy preferences, including bifacial modules, central inverters, trackers, and AC BESSs.

Here’s a detailed look at Germany’s new Solarpaket 1 legislation, what it includes, and how it’s set to reshape solar’s role across the country and DACH region.

Find out what causes grid congestion in the Nordics, how each country is tackling the issue, and what the future might look like with a more efficient grid.

Comunidades energéticas are at the heart of Spain’s shift to a greener and more decentralized grid. Explore more about these citizen-powered networks.

The Nordics are increasingly adding solar to their renewable mix. We explore their solar energy strategy and share the figures that prove their success.

Australia is on a tight deadline to install 28,000 solar panels a day for the next six years to hit its 2030 decarbonization targets — a tall order that hinges on ramping up domestic production.

To this end, the government launched Solar Sunshot, a $1-billion fund to help local PV companies commercialize their products and strengthen the country’s solar supply chains. Let’s explore this initiative and how it might affect the future of Australia’s energy.

Spain’s journey to solar power success didn’t happen overnight. The country took its first steps towards renewable energy with small-scale solar projects in the 1980s, laying the foundation to become one of today’s most prominent solar markets. Thanks to decades of investment and progress, Spain became one of the world’s leading solar energy producers. Let’s look at how it got there in more detail.

String inverters are increasingly popular among PV plant developers, according to our annual Trends report. But why? Learn what a string inverter is and which projects benefit from this technology.

Germany found itself in a technical recession in 2023 and is likely to rank among the slowest-growing OECD countries in 2024. One culprit is its energy woes. Gas supply disruptions and nuclear plant closures are increasing energy costs, and the renewable shift needs to move faster to mitigate these effects.

Reducing energy waste is paramount to hitting green targets. Read on to discover how energy is lost and how governments are looking to capitalize on untapped opportunities and upgrade national infrastructure.

Once described as obsolete, the concentrated solar power market ballooned to $53 billion in 2023 and is still growing. Here’s why CSP is making a comeback.
