Hoymiles, a major manufacturer of microinverters and residential energy systems, has teamed up with TÜV SÜD — one of the world's leading technical inspection and certification bodies — to release a joint white paper on residential energy storage for 2026. The collaboration signals a growing push to standardize quality and safety expectations in the fast-expanding home battery market, where residential PV-plus-storage systems are becoming increasingly mainstream across Europe and beyond.
Why this white paper matters for solar-plus-storage buyers
The white paper is expected to address key technical areas including inverter-battery compatibility, grid integration requirements, self-consumption optimization, and emerging safety standards. These topics are directly relevant to the EU's Battery Regulation (EU 2023/1542) and the upcoming Battery Passport framework, which will require greater transparency in battery supply chains and performance data.

How Much Do Solar Panels Produce in Winter? Realistic Numbers
Winter output from a rooftop solar system is a fraction of the summer peak: shorter days, a low sun, cloud and snow mean that the four darkest months together typically deliver only around a tenth to a fifth of the annual yield, depending on latitude. This guide sets realistic month-by-month expectations, explains what winter means for self-consumption and your bill, shows how a battery and smart scheduling help, and why you should never size a system for December.

Combining a heat pump, rooftop solar panels and a preferential electricity tariff can significantly cut household energy bills — but only if you plan all three as one integrated system. This guide walks through the decision logic, common mistakes and key considerations for homeowners.
Solar PV in the Arctic: Svalbard's surprising potential
Researchers at Norway's SINTEF have found that solar PV in Longyearbyen, one of the world's northernmost inhabited settlements, can achieve capacity factors comparable to central European cities during summer. The study shows that PV, combined with wind and storage, could play a pivotal role in the Arctic energy transition.
