Solar is contributing to Europe's main goals ☀️

Solar is helping to drive European security, competitiveness & climate resilience. But continued innovation in PV technology is essential to scale up and meet the challenges ahead.

Delighted to share this message during the 20th #ETIPPV Conference.

🆕 report: The World installed 600 GW of solar in 2024, could be installing 1 TW per year by 2030 🌅

🌍 Our latest GMO report reveals a 33% surge from 2023, after the world crossed the milestone of 2 TW total solar in late 2024.

Favourite soundbites from #Intersolar kickoff:

@gjuk.bsky.social: "Flexibility IS the new system; it is not a compromise - it's an upgrade."
 
Julian Jansen, EASE: "Battery storage is a time machine for the energy system"
 
@renewablebruce.bsky.social: "Renewable energy = energy security"

Renewables, flexibility, electrification, and battery storage
 
This is the recipe for a secure, reliable and competitive energy system
 
I was happy to relay this message during the opening session of #IntersolarEurope 2025
