Australia develops national program for reuse and recycling of solar modules
The federal government and states in Australia have agreed to develop a national scheme for the reuse and recycling of photovoltaic modules.Given Australia’s strong position in solar energy and expected growth in the coming years and decades, the creation of module recycling facilities is crucial. This will help maintain a circular economy and protect against […]
What’s Changing in Romania’s Grid Connection Rules?
Romania has implemented new grid connection rules, from June 2025, aimed at prioritizing mature renewable energy projects and reducing speculative ones. Only fully documented projects will be queued for connection studies, and developers can participate in technical discussions. Key changes include: Overall, the reforms strengthen discipline in project development, speed up mature projects, and improve […]
Why Choosing the Right Construction Partner Is Crucial for Successful PV Projects
How Specialized Subcontractors Like Evklips Energy Help EPC Companies Scale Efficiently As the European solar market experiences rapid growth, Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) companies are under increasing pressure to deliver high-quality photovoltaic (PV) projects faster and more cost-effectively than ever before. One of the most strategic decisions an EPC can make is selecting the […]
Colocation: A Strategic Opportunity for Renewable Energy Investors
Incorporating battery energy storage systems (BESS) into a planned photovoltaic (PV) project offers several key benefits, including protection against future market fluctuations, enhanced operational flexibility, and the creation of new revenue streams through grid services. BESS helps mitigate the risk of cannibalization—where wholesale prices drop due to an oversupply of solar energy. By storing excess […]
German study reports high returns on renewable energy investments
Around 80-90% of subsidies for green technologies in Germany have already been paid. This is the outcome of a quantitative study of the Brandenburg University of Technology. The report ” Pay-back time: Increasing electricity prices and decreasing costs make renewable energy competitive” is published in Energy Policy magazine. The researchers chose Germany because of its […]
SolarPower Europe: There is great potential for upstream solar investment in Europe
75% of the European sector involved in solar equipment manufacturing is focused on downstream products such as cells and modules. But Europe would benefit from greater investment in upstream products such as polysilicon, ingots and wafers. This is the main conclusion of SolarPower Europe’s report “Solar power generation equipment“. The report also notes that Europe […]
France has awarded 220MW of rooftop PV installations in a tender with lack of interest
France has awarded 220MW of rooftop PV capacity in a 400MW tender. 54 projects from 26 companies were approved at an average price of EUR 98.2/MWh, down from the previous auction where the average price was EUR 99.95/MWh. The average price of rooftop PV auctions in France has been slowly decreasing, auction after auction, since […]
Raptor Maps: Around USD 10 billion lost by the global solar industry in 2024, due to inefficient assets
According to the latest data from Raptor Maps, in 2024, underperforming assets will cost the global solar sector a record $10 billion in lost benefits. Raptor Maps is an American solar plant management software and robotics company that collects a lot of data on industry’s efficiency . The latest edition of its global report shows […]
The dialog is the key to successful photovoltaic projects
“A cooperation between the partakers in the different project stages is crucial for the overall success of the plants”, emphasized Elena Pedova, Managing Partner at Evklips Energy Ltd. During the interview at EnergySummit2025, she underlined that the decisions taken at each phase have a direct influence on both the efficiency and cost of the PV projects. […]
Storage contracts – the new investment opportunity in European energy
Storage facilities will be important in energy markets and, alongside power purchase agreements (PPAs), can offer a way out of volatility, low or zero prices and oversupply. This year, developers are gradually shifting their interest from the UK to EU countries where the urgent need for flexible resources is evident. Conditions of course are not the same […]
