But, as you’ll read, some hurdles still stand in the way and the industry will have to collaborate to overcome them.

We also take a comprehensive look at Europe in our Market Watch section of the journal, where the continent's COVID economic recovery stimulus and a host of national decarbonisation strategies look set to give Europe another moment in the sun.

As always, 'Storage & Smart Power' – the dedicated section brought to you by Energy-Storage.news – returns and this edition includes no fewer than four feature articles and technical papers which are: 

‘What you should know about manufacturing lithium-ion batteries’ – by Benjamin Sternkopf, Ian Gregory and David Prince, Photovoltaik Institute Berlin (PI Berlin)

'Europe’s energy storage transformation’ – by Naim El-Chaimi, Clean Horizon

'Green hydrogen: the zero-carbon seasonal energy storage solution’ – by Janice Lin, Green Hydrogen Coalition

'For lithium to still lead the way…' – by Andy Colthorpe, Energy-Storage.news / Solar Media

PV Tech has been running PV ModuleTech Conferences since 2017. PV ModuleTech USA, on 17-18 June 2025, will be our fourth PV ModulelTech conference dedicated to the U.S. utility scale solar sector. The event will gather the key stakeholders from solar developers, solar asset owners and investors, PV manufacturing, policy-making and and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out the PV module supply channels to the U.S. out to 2026 and beyond.
