The European authorities are trying to determine whether two consortia – including subsidiaries of Longi and Shanghai Electric – violated the new EU rules on foreign subsidies when they participated in a procurement process in Romania for a 110 MW solar farm. The European Commission is expected to make a final decision within 110 working days.

A report from Climate Action Network Europe says residential rooftop solar installations in the EU have grown by 54% year-on-year, but warns a lack of grid capacity and specific strategies for rooftop solar development means member states are not keeping pace with the demand.

Solargiga Energy says it expects to return to a profit of CNY 130 million to CNY 170 million for 2023, while GCL Technology says it anticipates lower profits for the year.

Cape Town, South Africa, has opened an online portal to simplify the authorization process for solar and reduce approval waiting times.

Employees of G-Store, an Australian solar installation business, have lost their jobs and customers and suppliers are owed millions of dollars now that the company has been placed in the hands of administrators.
