This comes after Meyer Burger announced plans to abandon its component plant in Germany. The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) has once again called for urgent measures to support the continent's photovoltaic manufacturing industry. There are fears the industry will collapse.    ...

Photovoltaic manufacturer Meyer Burger has decided to close its module plant in Germany and focus on its US operations.   Meyer Burger said the lack of adequate measures to create a level playing field in Europe (such as flexible incentive schemes) was the reason for the closure of the factory....

An updated report from the European Photovoltaic Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP PV) points out that Europe must find a balance between the need to rapidly expand photovoltaic capacity and innovation to maintain competitiveness.     The white paper "PV Manufacturing in Europe: En...

In 2023, Germany will add approximately 14GW of solar power capacity, of which the residential part will account for nearly half of the new capacity.   In 2023, Germany will add approximately 14GW of solar power installed capacity, of which the household part accounts for nearly half of the new...

Rystad Energy's forecast points out that from 2022 to September 2023, new residential and large-scale ground photovoltaic installations in the UK will be 2.9GW, bringing the total installed capacity in the UK to 18.1GW.     This marks a significant increase in solar PV installation rates...

After evaluating the revised "National Energy and Climate Plan" (NECP), the European Commission called on European governments to "increase their efforts" and accelerate energy transformation.   NECP is a plan to achieve its energy-structured energy structure from the EU governments until 2030...

Recently, the European Parliament and the European Council have reached a provisional agreement on strengthening the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which aims to improve the energy performance of buildings and require new buildings to be prepared for the installation of solar ener...

Since the mid-2020s, U.S. photovoltaic system developers have encountered increasing challenges in module procurement.     Chief among these are the impact of UFLPA, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s investigation into circumvention of previous anti-dumping and countervailing duty r...

France has submitted an updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), raising its solar photovoltaic installed capacity target to 60GW in 2030.     Compared with the previous NECP submitted in 2019, the new draft adds at least 14GW of installed photovoltaic capacity. By 2035, France ai...

On November 21, the European Parliament voted in a new round to pass the Net Zero Industry Act (hereinafter referred to as NZIA), which is committed to transferring onshore manufacturing of renewable energy technologies such as solar photovoltaics, battery storage and wind energy to the EU .  ...

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is a technology that integrates solar power (photovoltaic) products into buildings. Driven by China's dual-carbon policy, BIPV will become the key to the green transformation of the construction industry. By 2030, we estimate that the BIPV market size will re...

The Indonesian government has released a draft Comprehensive Investment and Policy Plan (CIPP), setting out Indonesia’s decarbonization initiatives to 2050, which include targets to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century and expand installed photovoltaic capacity to 264.6GW. .    ...
