Félicitations à Heliup jeune pouce industrielle 🇫🇷 du photovoltaïque pour son Gold European Solar Startup Award Winner 🥇, prix décerné par @solarpowereu.bsky.social lors du #SolarPowerSummit 👏 L'innovation récompensée, c'est la fabrication de panneaux photovoltaïques légers 👍
At the #SolarPowerSummit, @solarpowereu.bsky.social & Greenpeace Ukraine announced their collaboration to fast-track solar installations across Ukraine 🌻
Solar is the future. We're committed to working with Greenpeace Ukraine to make this a reality & ensure Ukraine's energy independence & security
It was a pleasure flexing solar muscles with EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen yesterday at @solarpowereu.bsky.social's #SolarPowerSummit
Commissioner Jørgensen affirmed; "We live in a defining moment for Europe... Europe is stronger together & we are stronger with solar ☀️"
Congratulations to HELIUP who were crowned as the Gold European Solar Startup Award Winner 🏆 at our #SolarPowerSummit 👏 🎉

Již tradičně je #SolarPowerSummit, pořádaný @solarpowereu.bsky.social, věnován aktuálním energetickým tématům. Na letošním ročníku #LetsFlex! o akumulaci a flexibilitě proto vystoupil předseda představenstva Jan Fousek, ředitel Asociace AKU-BAT, který hovořil o stavu akumulace v Česku.
Fairer rewards, price signals, digitalisation and smarter planning are key to grid flexibility. 🤸♂️
At #SolarPowerSummit, we’re discussing how flexible grids can boost solar deployment and asking for a EU Grids and Flexibility package with an Energy Storage Action Plan. 🔋

"In these critical times for Europe, we must speed up the permitting processes while ensuring public acceptance, a key prerequisite for expanding solar ☀️
Engaged people recognise the benefits & become renewable defenders"
- @nicogcasares.bsky.social, MEP at @europarl.europa.eu at #SolarPowerSummit

For Europe to stay competitive, we need to focus on allocating proper funding, simplifying access to resources & maintaining a long-term vision for nurturing solar skills"
- Victor Negrescu, Vice-President at @europarl.europa.eu at #SolarPowerSummit
“This is a technology that still has a lot to give.” 💡
At the #SolarPowerSummit, Stefano Lorenzi, CEO of 3Sun, reminded us that solar is far from reaching its full potential.
As Europe pushes for more resilient, sustainable supply chains, investing in solar innovation is essential.
"Solar ☀️ brings hope, opportunity & the promise of a brighter, peaceful future
We're committed & looking forward to collaborating with Greenpeace to accelerate solar across Ukraine 🌻"

The #SolarPowerSummit 2025 has officially kicked off!
What an honour to welcome such an esteemed line up of speakers to open this year's Summit, setting the energy high for the discussions to come over the next 2 days
Here are some of my favourite quotes from the opening🧵
"Our latest report is confirmation that solar is the queen & you can see it in the numbers
12 years in a row of year on year installations breaking records
Last year, for the first time, solar produced more energy than oil globally"
Laura Cozzi Director at @iea.org #SolarPowerSummit
"Solar has been a success in Europe
Now we see challenges, and we turn to flexibility
That needs to be the core focus of our policies - flexibility, grid development, storage"
What we love to hear! From MEP Anna Wechsler at #SolarPowerSummit: #LetsFlex
"Crucially solar energy reduces our dependency on imported fossil fuels, shielding economies from volatile markets
Solar power is not just a technology, it's a 🗝️ to unlock Europe's competitive & secure future"
Polish Minister for Climate & Environment @hennigkloska.bsky.social #SolarPowerSummit
"We’re in a new energy era, solar energy has been driving this transformation
President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu says we need to represent competitiveness, security & values
This is what you represent"
Executive Vice President @teresaribera.ec.europa.eu opens the #SolarPowerSummit #LetsFlex
“This year’s edition of the #SolarPowerSummit is dedicated to the biggest challenges facing Europe: security, competitiveness, climate change
But more important than the challenges—we want to focus on the solution: Energy System Flexibility”
- Our President Aristotelis Chantavas #LetsFlex
“It is a time of uncertainty in the world: trade wars, real wars. It can be tempting, to cling to the ways of the past. But that’s not an option.
Renewables are Europe’s ultimate freedom energy.”
SolarPower Europe President Aristotelis Chantavas opens the #SolarPowerSummit #LetsFlex
Our CEO @solarwalburga.bsky.social opens the #SolarPowerSummit 2025:
“SolarPower Europe turns 40
It comes at a special time, we’re at a crossroad in Europe, the only way is fast forward energy security, competitiveness & combatting climate change”
