The Netterden Group has strengthened its sustainability credentials with a new floating solar installation in Ellertshaar, Drenthe, supplying clean energy directly to its local sand extraction operations. The project, delivered by Solinoor and featuring Trinasolar’s Vertex N modules, showcases how innovative solar solutions can meet industrial energy needs while supporting local initiatives.

A supermarket in Vinslöv, Sweden, has strengthened its sustainability credentials with a new rooftop solar installation, designed to cut grid reliance and lower operational costs. The system, distributed by Krannich Solar and installed by Thells Elektriska, showcases how solar energy can directly support the retail sector’s transition to clean power.

The Vārme solar project is one of Latvia’s largest utility-scale installations, built to deliver clean, reliable power to the region. Spanning 110 hectares, the plant is equipped with 156,000 Trinasolar Vertex N modules, reaching a total installed capacity of 94 MW.

At the Parco del Marchese pumping station in Laterza, Italy, Acquedotto Pugliese (AQP) has renewed and expanded its photovoltaic plant with Trinasolar NEG18R.28 modules, creating the largest solar-powered water pumping facility in Europe. This project is part of AQP’s wider energy transition strategy, aimed at improving sustainability across one of the most complex water infrastructures on the continent.

In Catania, Sicily, an ambitious Agri-PV project is showcasing how solar energy and sustainable agriculture can work hand in hand. Developed by Aquila Clean Energy, the utility-scale installation uses Trinasolar’s Vertex N large-format modules to deliver 52 MW of clean power, while preserving and enhancing the agricultural use of the land.

In Thalsdorf, Austria, the national railway operator ÖBB has developed the country’s first Agri-PV installation for traction power, combining sustainable agriculture with the clean energy generation for the rail network. The 13 MW photovoltaic system, built with Trinasolar Vertex N modules, marks a major step forward in integrating clean energy into critical infrastructure while preserving the multifunctional use of land.

In Adorf, Germany, a forward-looking solar project is blending large-scale renewable energy generation with sustainable farming practices. Developed in partnership with CleanSource Construction GmbH, the new 15 MWp solar installation features Trinasolar Vertex N modules and serves a dual purpose: supplying clean energy to the grid and supporting agricultural activity through AgriPV.

In Wexford, Ireland, a multinational company has taken a significant step towards reducing its grid dependency with a ground-mounted solar carport installation. Designed to overcome the limitations of restricted roof space, the system now delivers clean, on-site electricity generation directly from the company’s premises.

Cleve Hill Solar Park, developed by Quinbrook, is a large-scale solar and energy storage project located on the north coast of Kentt, near the village of Graveney. The site comprises over 550,000 photovoltaic modules and integrated battery storage, delivering 373 MW of clean, affordable power to more than 102,000 UK homes.

This 234 MW project for Statkraft, located in Cádiz—one of the sunniest regions in the world—comprises four solar plants: Arenosas, Malabrigo, El Yarte, and La Guita. The plants are expected to generate approximately 500 GWh of clean energy annually, supplying power to 120,000 households and avoiding 80,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year.
