Market Insights – July 2026 #3

YOUR SOURCE FOR NEWS, TRENDS AND EVENTS IN THE GLOBAL SOLAR & STORAGE INDUSTRY!

   
   

According to the PV Price & Inventory Tracker© Q2 2026 by EUPD Research, high-efficiency module prices (installer procurement level) from Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers increased by 7% compared to the previous quarter, while those from European manufacturers decreased by 7%. Other segments remained stable, with German prices only falling by 1% and other manufacturers only rising by 1% compared to the previous quarter. The slight increase in Chinese module prices is likely driven by higher upstream costs and trade-related policy changes.

This year, we have an addition to the agenda. The Industry Insights Panel: Emerging PV & Energy Storage Technologies Shaping Brazil’s Solar Future. The panel discussion will focus on the technologies, market dynamics, and downstream opportunities shaping the next phase of Brazil’s solar and energy storage market. 


Key topics:

  • Next-generation PV and energy storage technologies
  • The transition from standalone PV systems toward hybrid and integrated storage solutions
  • Grid bottlenecks, dynamic power management, zero-export solutions, and peak-shaving applications
  • The role of software tools, smart monitoring, and Energy Management Systems in creating new business opportunities for installers
  • Common technical challenges in the field and how manufacturers can support installers with design tools, training, and technical expertise
  • Growth opportunities in areas such as premium residential backup, C&I peak shaving, and microgrid solutions
