Our mission is to ensure that more electricity is generated by solar than any other energy source by 2030☀️ Learn more at
Europe's future runs on electricity⚡ The European Commission's Electrification Action Plan puts electrification at the heart of Europe's economic strategy and that's exactly where it belongs Read our reaction: www.solarpowereurope.org/press-releas... #Electrification
Global solar fleet expected to exceed 6 TW by 2030 Global solar capacity surpassed 3 TW in early 2026 and by 2030 is expected to reach 6.6 TW The new milestone confirms the unprecedented speed of solar deployment Download the report👉 www.solarpowereurope.org/insights/out... #GlobalSolarOutlook26
Europe's solar fleet has now avoided €20 billion in gas imports since the start of the war in the Middle East 📅137 days 💶€146 million saved per day That’s more than what France spends daily on defence More: www.solarpowereurope.org/press-releas...
🔋Europe installed a record 36 GWh of battery storage in 2025, pushing total capacity beyond 100 GWh By 2030, Europe could reach almost 600 GWh, but stronger policy action is needed 📖Read the report here: www.solarpowereurope.org/insights/out... #10XBatteryStorage
🔋Europe added 36 GWh of battery storage in 2025, marking the 12th consecutive year of growth This pushed total capacity beyond 100 GWh and accelerated the role of storage in the energy transition Download the report👉 www.solarpowereurope.org/insights/out... #EUBatteryOutlook26
🇮🇪 Ní neart go cur le chéile – strength with unity! As Ireland takes on the Presidency of the @consilium.europa.eu we look forward to advancing solar and storage through the Industrial Accelerator Act, European Grids Package, Electrification Action Plan and post-2030 framework. #Ireland2026EU
3️⃣/4️⃣: Solar accounts for over three-quarters of global renewable energy capacity added in 2025 Solar PV accounted for 77% of the estimated 861 GW of new renewable capacity installed worldwide in 2025 Download the report👉 www.solarpowereurope.org/insights/out... #GlobalSolarOutlook26
"I have the pleasure of Chairing the Battery Storage Europe Platform - if you're active in the sector please consider joining us The more we are, the more effective we can be, speaking as one voice and influencing legislation to help storage grow" Guido Boccardo, Statkraft, at #Intersolar
Senior Market Analyst Antonio Arruebo presents our latest battery report at EES Forum #Intersolar "Batteries are key to flexibility and energy security, now EU policy rollout must catch up. At the current pace, we are falling short on our objectives and need to deploy 10x more batteries by 2030"
"Battery storage systems are the perfect time machine - capturing cheap solar energy and releasing it during peak demand times, keeping electricity prices stable Solar + storage is now the second largest electricity source in Bulgaria" Mariyana Yaneva, IPS, speaking at #Intersolar
“Last year, the world generated enough solar energy, representing ~5 years of LNG shipments through the Strait of Hormuz” Senior Market Analyst Christophe Lits presents figures from our Global Solar Market Outlook 2026-2030 at #Intersolar We’ll be here again tomorrow at Booth B3.107 09:30-10:30
This morning we hosted a Market Intelligence breakfast at our Intersolar Booth: B3.107 Our experts presented the latest figures on solar and storage from our two new reports If you’re in Munich, make sure to call by our booth tomorrow or Thursday, 09:30-10:30 for the briefing (+☕️🥐)
Today is day 1 of the Intersolar exhibition in Munich☀️ We are here at booth B3.107 - come and say hi, get a free copy of our new reports, and win some cool merch 😎
Our Senior Market Analyst Antonio Arruebo at the #Intersolar C&I storage session: "While C&I has been growing, it is still a small segment compared to residential & utility-scale If policymakers want to empower companies the same way as households, they need to start giving the same incentives"
"Solar growth in the last 4 years was stellar, reaching the 3 TW milestone, tripling capacity in four years By 2030 solar will more than double capacity reaching 6.6 TW" SolarPower Europe's Director of Market Intelligence, Michael Schmela, presents the new #GlobalSolarOutlook26 at #Intersolar
🆕 The world installed a record 664 GW of solar in 2025, bringing the total global solar fleet to 3 TW However, market growth slowed to 12% & a temporary decline in installations is forecast for 2026 Read the full press release 👉 www.solarpowereurope.org/press-releas... #GlobalSolarOutlook26
This #EuropeanSolarDay, a solar story that goes back generations ☀️ From pioneering ideas in 1942 to flying a solar-powered airplane around the world, the Piccard family pushed the limits of what solar can do "Solar energy is unstoppable. Now, we just need to go faster"
"I vote yes to solar," says MEP @tpellerincarlin.bsky.social "If we want Europe to be free and competitive, we need to choose clean, renewable energy. Solar is one of the solutions" On 21 June, the longest and brightest day of the year, we celebrate #EuropeanSolarDay Share your #SolarStories
"Let the sun shine!" This is the message from MEP @juttapaulus.bsky.social for #EuropeanSolarDay 2026. On 21 June, the longest and brightest day of the year, we celebrate #EuropeanSolarDay, with #SolarStories from across the EU. Share yours!
How much has solar already saved Europe?⚡ Since the start of the 2026 Middle East war, EU solar PV has avoided €13 billion in gas imports By 2030, savings could reach €53.3 billion Read more: www.solarpowereurope.org/press-releas... #LetsFlex #10XBatteryStorage
Our new Solar+ report shows scaling renewables and storage could cut EU power system costs by up to 49% by 2030⚡ Read the full report here: www.solarpowereurope.org/press-releas...

Our solar future, seen through young eyes🌞🎨 During the #SolarPowerSummit we were inspired by the Solar School drawing competition, a vibrant exhibition of how students in Belgium see solar energy and what it means to them 🏆Congratulations to Bogaerts International School, winner of the competition
The #SolarPowerSummit wrapped up with a clear reminder and opportunity for Europe to accelerate Solar + wind + storage must join forces to power Europe's energy transition faster, smarter, and together
"Climate, competitiveness, and independence are linked" EU Commissioner @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu closed #SolarPowerSummit with a clear signal: Europe must move faster on electrification and take control of its energy future as global crises evolve
"Batteries are the winning technology"🔋 Great words from the #SolarPowerSummit session on New Technologies for BESS The key message was that batteries are an essential technology providing security to the system and helping integrate renewables - we need to scale fast! #10XBatteryStorage
Today is all about battery storage at #SolarPowerSummit🔋 In a session on the outlook for BESS in EU, Antonio López-Nicolás from @ec.europa.eu said: "Storage has a very important role in setting the price of electricity. Key barriers to be addressed are permitting and improving the business case"
