[SMM PV Flash] Indonesian Nickel Project Advances 20 MWp Solar and 30 MWh Storage Build

Germany's net solar generation reached 90.2 TWh by September 27, already exceeding the roughly 90.0 TWh produced during all of 2025 and setting a new annual record before the fourth quarter. The increase reflects both continued capacity additions and favourable sunshine conditions, while the concentration of output around midday further raises the need for grid flexibility, storage and demand response. The milestone shows that Germany's solar supply base is still expanding rapidly, shifting more market attention toward curtailment, negative-price exposure and storage revenue mechanisms.

German vertical bifacial PV specialist Next2Sun says it received more than €5 million in share subscriptions and funding offers by the end of last weekend, meeting the interim threshold it set to avoid an insolvency filing. The company cautioned that some indications still need to be firmed up and plans to confirm by Friday whether sufficient binding commitments can be accepted to complete the financing. The result therefore represents a critical liquidity milestone, but it does not yet mean that all funds have been received or that the company's going-concern risk has been fully removed.

PAD RES has secured PLN 192.5 million in long-term financing from UniCredit to build and operate three solar farms in Poland with a combined capacity of 133 MW. The financing covers the 90 MW Krapkowice, 18 MW Strzelce Opolskie and 25 MW Gromadka projects, all of which are under construction and are expected to generate around 140 GWh annually, equivalent to the yearly demand of roughly 47,000 homes. PAD RES plans to retain the assets after commissioning, indicating continued lender appetite for developers shifting from project origination toward long-term ownership and operation.
