Solar is a renewable energy source that has seen huge growth across the European continent, especially in 2022. RealClearEnergy reports that solar power soared by almost 50% in Europe after installing a record-breaking 41.4 GW of solar. This can power 12.4 million homes, making it a very successful feat for solar.
This can be attributed to solar being the most renewable and sustainable energy source, as discussed in our article …

ITALIA SOLARE, the national solar organization, based in Italy, sent a letter to Roberto Cingolani, the current Minister of Climate Change, outlining seven solar goals for accelerating the energy transition.
The letter emphasizes that Italy still has a long way to go in terms of realizing the full potential of solar energy: It demonstrates that the longer we wait to begin the transition of energy sources, the more GDP, job prospects, and technological growth we can lose in a highly strategic sector in which Italian companies have the potential to be key …

The EU’s newest market forecast for solar power indicates that these countries are on track to account for 50% of the European solar market share. On day two of our study, we are examining the EU’s second-largest market: the Netherlands. Last year, almost three gigawatts of project capacity were installed and 12 additional government-subsidized mega-wattitude projects in the pipeline.
As far as the clouds are concerned, this painting a rosy picture is fair, considering the COVID pandemic. A projection by the national organization Holland Solar …

Solar radiation is the energy powering the Earth. You can use two instruments to measure solar radiation – a solarimeter and a pyranometer. The Sun radiates multiple wavelengths, but only a part of its energy reaches the Earth’s surface.
Before you test your solar panels, you need to appreciate the concept of solar radiation and the factors that affect solar radiation.
What Is Solar Radiation?
Simply put, solar radiation is a fancy name for solar energy or solar resource…

We are kicking off 2021 by highlighting the solar markets at the Top 5 EU, as identified in our most recent EU Business Outlook for European Photovoltaics Business Development. In 2020, Spain was the EU’s third-largest solar market.
Without auctions, the PPA/merchant segment has accounted for all of Spain’s new energy. This is a monumental achievement: it is the first time in Europe that this volume of capacity has been grid-connected without the use of public subsidies or auctions. This is an …

It was the first time in five years that Spain had arranged a green energy call for five years last week. By participating in 2,026 MW from the 3,034 MW in the auction, solar energy was clearly able to prove its ability to compete on a level playing field.
Here are the three key occurrences that happened in the event:

2026 from the 3,034 MW in solar power that had been sold at the second round of auction has been added to the grid.
If the world average cost of solar dropped to 24.47 …

Solar energy is experiencing a surge in popularity in Austria. Just this past year, the Austrian Ministry allotted €50 million for the production of renewable energy resources, with all three-quarters of the money directed toward residential, utility, public, and private development. This, including all already contracted projects, amounts to 15,957 new solar installations totaling 332 MW.
Moreover, the mission of Austrian Climate and Energy Minister, Leonore Gessler is to get the country to finally use 100% renewable energy within that year. With that, this project has been formed on the rock of the One-Million-Rooftop Program. …
