Denmark's solar capacity has nearly tripled over the past four years, rising from 1.5 GWac in 2020 to 4.3 GWac in 2023. Similarly, Sweden has seen rapid growth in its solar PV capacity, increasing from 1.1 GWac in 2020 to 4.0 GWac in 2023, with 1,600 MWac added last year. Sweden’s solar sector, though smaller than Denmark's, is expanding quickly, particularly in residential and commercial installations, alongside larger utility projects. 👉You can find the short study on The smarter E Digital, your go-to platform for insights into smart energy solutions: https://bit.ly/4fdbk6g Svenja Putz EUPD Research ESG

Renewables are not only on the rise — they’re also becoming incredibly cost-effective 💰 A new study by International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) shows just how far we’ve come: the cost of solar energy from utility-scale installations was 56% lower than the cost of energy from the cheapest fossil energy source. This positive trend can also be seen in The smarter E Europe registration numbers 👀 Messe München is already 90% booked seven months before the doors even open! Next year, The smarter E Europe and its sub-exhibitions (Intersolar, ees - electrical energy storage, Power2Drive & EMPower_energy) will once again demonstrate that the energy transition is not only possible, but is quickly becoming a reality 🙌 We are awaiting you from 7-9 May, 2025 🌞 👉To the recent Press Release: https://bit.ly/3Cfk9hv

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲? 🔦 According to SolarPower Europe, PV produces almost 96 percent less greenhouse gas emissions over its lifetime than coal-fired power plants and 93 percent less than gas-fired power plants. But even solar energy is not entirely free of emissions – the production of PV modules is the largest contributor to its greenhouse gas emissions. The solar industry is aiming at reducing the carbon footprint in solar production as much as possible to make it a carbon-neutral technology by: 👉 Optimising production technologies 👉 Improving processes 👉 Recycling materials internally 👉 Recovering energy 👉 Sourcing renewable energy Want to know more about how PV module manufacturing can become more sustainable?

Understanding the Perspectives of Installers in the Mediterranean Energy Landscape In this issue, published in collaboration with EUPD Research Energy, we dive into the PV markets of Italy, Portugal and Spain - through the eyes of the installers! Italy, which ranks third in the EU, will reach a total capacity of 30 GWdc by 2023. Portugal's capacity approached 4 GWdc, while Spain, Europe's second-largest PV installer, will grow to an impressive 39.2 GWdc. But we're not stopping at PV installations. We're also looking at what other technologies these installers are working with, or which segments they're focusing on in which country.
