Technical FAQs 4

What is Solarpower Europe?

PV trade body SolarPower Europe is celebrating its 40th anniversary with the tagline SolarPower Europe: solar, storage, and flexibility, and has announced plans for a Battery Storage Europe platform to highlight case studies and regulatory best practice.

How does energy storage work in the EU?

The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped storage hydropower', which works by pumping water into reservoirs when there is an electricity surplus in the grid - for example on a sunny or windy day - and releasing it when more energy is needed.

How has solar energy helped Europe during the current crisis?

According to industry sources, Europe was able to save as much as €29 billion during the current crisis thanks to solar energy. This kind of relief from cost-efficient and renewable resources is invaluable, to say the least. In fact, solar generation in the EU was up 28% year on year for the summer period.

How much solar power is installed in the European Union?

The European Union installed nearly 8.0 GW of solar power systems in 2018. Overall, total solar installations in the continent grew by nearly 20% to 11.0 GW in 2018, an increase from 9.2 GW from 2017. Fig 3: Global Annual Solar PV Installed Capacity 2000-2018 (Source: solarpowereurope.org)
