Italy has awarded 88 projects for a combined 1.1GW of solar PV in its Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) non-price criteria FER-X auction.

Italy's NZIA FER-X auction aims to diversify Europe's supply chain, but this brings its own challenges, writes Patrizio Donati.

Module quality issues, such as glass breakage, UVID and delamination, featured heavily in the discussions at PV ModuleTech Europe this week.

The French and Italian solar markets have both moved forward in their latest public tender process for solar capacity.

Italy has released the results of its latest solar auction, which includes 273 expressions of interest for a combined capacity of 3,161MW.

A Fraunhofer and SolarPower Europe study has concluded that reaching the EU's annual solar module manufacturing target of 30GW is achievable.

Two of the major European solar trade associations, the European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) and SolarPower Europe (SPE), have called for EU policymakers to take measures supporting European solar manufacturing.

Italy’s latest renewable energy tender has received 12GW of bids, of which the majority, 10GW, came from solar PV.

The European Commission has passed legislation intended to support the bloc’s clean energy manufacturing industry.

The ESMC has called for more comprehensive support measures for European solar manufacturing following a leak from the European Commission.
