What this means for homeowners and C&I project owners

  • Attribution matters: numbers about named companies should be tied to a source.
  • Policy support is expanding in some markets, including self-supply solar and battery rules.
  • VPPs are becoming more accessible, which can improve battery economics even without rooftop solar.
  • Supply-chain concentration remains a strategic risk for European buyers.
