Webinars

On 11 June SolarPower Europe hosts the launch webinar of our new market intelligence report, the European Market Outlook for Battery Storage 2024-2028.

The EU has recently agreed on reaching a minimum 42.5% (+ 2.5% indicative top-up) renewables share in final energy consumption by 2030, almost doubling its current deployment. Most renewable installations will happen at the local level, making cities and local authorities the perfect candidates to accelerate the energy transition, and supply their citizens with secure, affordable and sustainable energy.

Supported by: Energy Cities and ICLEI Europe

Launch Webinar

Join this webinar to exchange on the needs of local authorities for accelerating permitting, and provide concrete examples to facilitate the assessment of projects.

Join us for our webinar on 9 November at 14:00 CET, to learn more about the SSI final system, its governance and how your organisation can join.

The demand for clean, sustainable, and cost-effective solar power has never been higher, especially in a time when energy prices are on the rise across Europe. Citizens and businesses are eager to reduce their energy bills while contributing to a greener future.

SolarPower Europe, in cooperation with BirdLife, published a first-of-its-kind best practices guidelines for Solar, Biodiversity and Land Use. This report provides support to solar industry stakeholders, detailing relevant EU environmental legislation for solar projects.

We will present our new report on a regulatory framework for energy sharing, which we called collective self-consumption. As well as describing the potential for the solar sector, we will discuss details of the European Commission’s regulatory proposals.

In this webinar, organised by SolarPower Europe in collaboration with eclareon, experts from the European renewable energy sector will share and discuss the latest developments in permitting procedures, as well as exchange on good practices in their respective local sectors.

SolarPower Europe and Solar Energy UK launched the Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI) in October 2022, with the goal of ensuring and demonstrating responsibility, transparency, and sustainability across the solar value chain.

SolarPower Europe will present in a free webinar the highlights of its freshly published Global Market Outlook (GMO) for Solar Power 2023-2027, launched on 13 June at Intersolar Europe.

SolarPower Europe’s annual EU Market Outlook helps policy stakeholders in delivering solar PV’s immense potential to meet the EU’s 2030 renewable energy targets.

SolarPower Europe has published its third ‘European Market Outlook for Residential Battery Storage’ report, covering 2022-2026, which analyses the current state of play of residential batteries across Europe. Analysing the synergy between residential solar and batteries, the report finds that in 2021, around 250,000 battery energy storage systems were installed to support European residential solar energy systems.

This panel discussion will look at the EC proposals in the REPowerEU package on permitting i.e. what is proposed by the EC and what is needed to accelerate the deployment of renewables and solve the permitting bottlenecks.

On the 22nd of September, the Board of SolarPower Europe approved a new workstream structure that will cover all the main challenges in our industry.

The increasing geographic concentration of solar PV manufacturing and supply chain challenges are prompting governments around the world to implement policies to stimulate domestic manufacturing.

A high-level exchange on the European Commission RES target for Ukraine and the roadmap to decarbonization with renewables at its core.

In this webinar we gather Ukrainian and European EPC experts to share and exchange on the current situation of solar in Ukraine.

At the SolarPower Summit 2022 SolarPower Europe will host the Solar Sustainability Award, a competition that aims to award top sustainability performers for their use of solar energy as a means to reduce their environmental footprint.

The European Solar Diversity Champion Awards 2022 brings visibility to the importance of diversity, recognising the substantial efforts that are still needed for a more inclusive workforce, and highlighting best practices that support diversity within an organisation.

In this open conversation, we will convene stakeholders from the industry and policymakers working in energy policy to discuss these important topics. An interactive Q&A session will allow the audience to share insights and questions.

This webinar aims to present the result of the one-year work conducted as part of the RES SIMPLIFY project financed by the European Commission.

On Wednesday 15 December 2021, SolarPower Europe will launch its EU Market Outlook for Solar Power 2021-2025, with updated forecasts for the EU solar market in 2021 and further projections of the evolution of the market through 2025 under different scenarios.

In this webinar, Siobhan Green, Nicolas Chouleur (from energy consultancy Everoze) and Romain Velon (from Energy transition funds of Acofi) discuss the synergies of grid connected solar + storage taking a technical perspective and how the co-location can make financial sense based on their experiences.

In this session, we present SolarPower Europe’s new report, the European Market Outlook for Residential Battery Storage 2021-2025.

With ambitious renewable energy targets, increased market liberalisation, and enormous solar potential, the solar PV sectors in the Middle East and North Africa are set to boom over the next five years.

In this webinar, we invite leading experts to explore how to assess and manage risks related to changing currencies in the context of emerging markets, especially Sub-Saharan Africa.

In this webinar, SolarPower Europe’s new report, EU Solar Jobs Report 2021: Towards Higher Solar Ambitions in Europe, will be presented. The study quantifies the number of jobs created directly and indirectly by the EU solar sector today and gives an outlook for 2025 and 2030, with an analysis of different levels of the value chain.

In this webinar supported by First Solar, we will be addressing the challenges that developers and investors are facing today and talk about how these risks can be mitigated.

Almost all leading solar module suppliers have now unveiled PV modules above 500 W. These high-power modules use a combination of technology upgrades at the ingot, wafer, cell, and module level, striving to achieve higher powers, and in some cases higher efficiencies.

Delivering climate neutrality requires a transversal approach to energy system integration, expanding the contribution of renewables beyond power.

The webinar, organised by SolarPower Europe and supported by GET.invest – a European programme supported by the European Union, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Austria – gathered African and European experts to shed light on how to reduce the levels of cost of capital for solar projects in Africa.

This webinar, organised by SolarPower Europe and supported by GET.invest, aims to gather African and European experts to shed light on the status and potential of solar & storage in Africa and its growth prospects.

As solar PV is projected to be the primary force towards decarbonisation and combating climate change, it is important to consider the social and environmental impacts of solar deployment beyond the TeraWatt scale.

On-site solar has the potential to contribute to increasing access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy (UN Sustainable Development Goal 7) for businesses and citizens across sub-Saharan Africa.
