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.

Our trend report reveals Spain’s solar power and renewable energy preferences, including bifacial modules, string inverters, tracker structures, and BESS.

Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo generate 100% renewable energy. Read on to find out how they achieved this.

In this article, we look at what organic solar cells are, how they differ from standard solar cells, how they work, their benefits and drawbacks, and what the future of organic solar cells looks like.

Could heterojunction (HJT) technology be the next wave in solar power?

This cutting-edge PV cell is on its way to taking 15% of the global solar market share by 2030. Demand is so brisk that manufacturers are expanding production and investing in its development. But what’s driving this trend? In this blog, we discuss what heterojunction technology is and its potential to reshape the solar landscape. 

Croatia is raising the stakes on clean energy with a new round of auctions for solar, wind, and hydropower projects. These subsidies aim to attract private investment and curb reliance on foreign energy. Will they work?

In this blog, we look at how Croatia is turning its national grid green and what these new auctions mean for its energy independence and climate goals.
