The StoRIES project, led by Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), is advancing the development of hybrid energy storage systems to support Europe’s clean energy transition. By combining multiple storage technologies and testing them through real-world applications, the initiative aims to improve grid flexibility, renewable integration, and system resilience. The project also promotes collaboration among researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to accelerate the deployment of innovative storage solutions across Europe.
Hoymiles has achieved Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) certification for its microinverter portfolio in India, reinforcing its position in the country’s rapidly growing solar market. The certification validates the products’ high efficiency and performance standards, helping installers and consumers maximize energy yields. As rooftop solar adoption accelerates, certified high-performance microinverters are expected to play an increasingly important role in enhancing system reliability and improving project economics.
A new study suggests that vehicle-integrated solar (ViS) technology could significantly reduce Europe’s annual electricity demand by generating solar power directly from vehicle surfaces. Researchers estimate that widespread deployment could offset up to 15.6 TWh of grid electricity consumption each year. As electric mobility continues to expand, integrating solar generation into vehicles could strengthen energy independence, reduce emissions, and support broader decarbonization efforts across the continent.
