Europe and the EU are increasing the reliance and priority of solar energy options to support the environment, green transparency and sustainability. The European Commission has launched the REPowerEU plan. This includes an EU Solar Strategy which aims to double photovoltaic capacity by 2025 and install 600GW by 2030. The plan also includes the Solar Rooftop initiative which will introduce a legal obligation to install solar panels on commercial and private residential buildings.
