European solar manufacturing boasts a low carbon footprint, and falling material requirements, says SolarPower Europe. Solar Stewardship Initiative releases supply traceability standard December
Solar energy, in particular photovoltaics (PV), is currently the fastest growing renewable energy source in the EU. Last year, 56 GW of solar PV were installed in the EU, two thirds of it on rooftops, empowering consumers and protecting them from high electricity prices and reducing land use. The installations in 2022 and 2023 saved the
Members of European Parliament (MEPs) have adopted the EU Solar Standard, which will require the installation of solar on buildings across EU member states. The standard forms part of the...
EU measures to boost solar energy include making the installation of solar panels on the rooftops of new buildings obligatory within a specific timeframe, streamlining permitting procedures for
These job opportunities can''t be taken for granted. We urge the new EU leadership to improve regulatory conditions to add more solar, support EU solar manufacturers, and develop Europe''s strategy around solar skills." The annual EU Solar Jobs Report has revised last year''s projection that the EU would reach 1 million solar jobs by 2025
The effective execution of the EU Rooftop Solar Standard within the directive could potentially provide solar energy for the equivalent of 56 million European homes. An initial assessment by SolarPower Europe indicates that the EPBD could catalyze the installation of 150 to 200 GW of rooftop solar in the coming years, harnessing the untapped
The European Union''s Solar Rooftop Standard, part of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, could prompt the installation of 150-200 GW of rooftop photovoltaics, powering around 56 million European homes. The directive mandates new buildings to be solar-ready, aiming for widespread solar adoption.
So, if there is an outage for any reason, then your system will most likely stop generating power. When planning your investment in a solar system and hardware, consider whether you want it to be set up so it will operate independently if the power goes out. Speak with your solar installer about how to set it up for an outage scenario.
The effective execution of the EU Rooftop Solar Standard within the directive could potentially provide solar energy for the equivalent of 56 million European homes. An
a rebate swap, where you receive a solar subsidy instead of bill rebates. The assistance you can access will vary depending on the state or territory where the rooftop solar system is being installed, whether the system is for a household
These initiatives will introduce a legally binding EU solar rooftop obligation to ensure accelerated installation of solar panels on buildings, help create a skilled workforce necessary to produce, install and maintain solar panels, and support the EU industry in expanding the domestic production of photovoltaic panels. The installation of
This policy brief presents how an EU solar mandate can be designed to be as effective as possible, based on the suggestions made by the European Commission. Five key recommendations . 1. Start as early as possible (it takes time for the mandate to become effective) 2. Obligate Member States to create favourable conditions which enable the
From 2026, the EU Solar Standard will require solar rooftop installations across a significant proportion of Europe''s building stock. The EU Solar Standard puts the power in citizens'' hands and will enshrine the energy transition
Successful implementation of the EU Rooftop Solar Standard under the EU Energy Performance Buildings Directive (EPBD) could solar power the equivalent of 56 million European homes.* A preliminary analysis conducted by SolarPower Europe suggests that the EPBD could drive the installation of 150 to 200 GW of rooftop solar in the next years

will not interrupt power supply to customers – only rooftop solar generation is reduced during emergency situations, and customers will continue to receive power from the grid; will provide capability that will only be used in emergencies – expected to be needed infrequently and for short periods, and will prevent loss of power for consumers during these critical times;
Successful implementation of the EU Rooftop Solar Standard under the EU Energy Performance Buildings Directive (EPBD) could solar power the equivalent of 56 million
EU measures to boost solar energy include making the installation of solar panels on the rooftops of new buildings obligatory within a specific timeframe, streamlining permitting procedures for renewable energy projects, improving the skills base in the solar sector and boosting the EU''s capacity to manufacture photovoltaic panels.
We recommend that the European solar obligation should be defined in as much detail as possible at EU level. In this context, some elements can be specified as mandatory

The report examines EU Member States (Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Sweden) on their good and bad practices when it comes to facilitating rooftop solar deployment in the EU.
We recommend that the European solar obligation should be defined in as much detail as possible at EU level. In this context, some elements can be specified as mandatory requirements and others as guidelines. Member States should only be allowed to deviate from the mandatory elements through a stricter implementation.

Rooftop solar photovoltaics (RSPV) are critical for megacities to achieve low-carbon emissions. However, a knowledge gap exists in a supply-demand-coupled analysis that considered simultaneously RSPV spatiotemporal patterns and city-accommodation capacities, a pivotal way to address solar PV intermittency issues. Here, we developed an aggregated
According to our analysis, the EU Rooftop Solar Standard within the EPBD could drive the installation of 150 to 200 GW of additional rooftop solar capacity in the EU between 2026 and 2030. · Critically, the Solar Rooftop Standard will unlock the potential of large rooftops such as those installed on offices, commercial buildings, or car parks.
These initiatives will introduce a legally binding EU solar rooftop obligation to ensure accelerated installation of solar panels on buildings, help create a skilled workforce necessary to produce, install and maintain solar panels, and support the EU industry in expanding the domestic production of photovoltaic panels.

The standard forms part of the European Performance of Buildings Directive, which was provisionally agreed upon in December.
Jan Osenberg, Senior Policy Advisor at SolarPower Europe, said (he/him): “Today, the European Parliament reached a huge milestone to accelerate renewable deployment, by adopting the EU Solar Standard. From 2026, the EU Solar Standard will require solar rooftop installations across a significant proportion of Europe’s building stock.
On March 12, 2024, European legislators acceded to the EU Solar Standard in the European Parliament within the European Performance of Buildings Directive. As per the standard, solar installations on buildings will now be mandatory across the European Union.
