What are the requirements for a European solar installation?

Equipment deployed in European solar installations must meet stringent standards and certifications to ensure safety, reliability, and performance. Solar panels and associated equipment must carry the CE marking, indicating compliance with EU health, safety, and environmental protection standards.

What is the EU solar standard?

From 2026, the EU Solar Standard will require solar rooftop installations across a significant proportion of Europe’s building stock. The EU Solar Standard puts the power in citizens’ hands and will enshrine the energy transition into the places where we sleep, work, and live.

Will the European Parliament adopt the EU solar standard in 2026?

Jan Osenberg, Senior Policy Advisor at SolarPower Europe, said (he/him): “Today, the European Parliament reached a huge milestone to accelerate renewable deployment, by adopting the EU Solar Standard. From 2026, the EU Solar Standard will require solar rooftop installations across a significant proportion of Europe’s building stock.

What does the new EU solar law mean for buildings?

The new law is set to require solar installations on buildings across the European Union. This means that solar installations must be integrated into building works, and public bodies must retroactively install PV on their buildings, entering into force gradually from 2026.

What is the European solar rooftops initiative?

The European Solar Rooftops Initiative is part of the EU Solar Energy Strategy, which aims to deliver over 320 GW of new photovoltaic capacity by 2025 and almost 600 GW by 2030. The European Parliament on Tuesday adopted the so-called EU Solar Standard, which will require the installation of solar on buildings across the EU.

What are the standards for solar panels?

Some standards set requirements such as those for performance, mechanical safety (e.g. load tests), and electrical safety. Note that you can find more solar panel standards on the CENELEC website.
