2、sation goals will be instrumental to guarantee energy security in the EU,the Clean Industrial Deal and associated initiatives,such as the EU Grid Package,the Affordable Energy Action Plan,and the Flexibility Strategy,mark significant steps toward a more resilient and sustainable energy system.Contra

3、ry to popular belief,most of the technologies we need to achieve those objectives are readily available today.Using them in innovative ways is the next step to maximise their impact and value.Hybrid solar systems combining solar photovoltaic(PV)with battery energy storage or wind power present a cle

4、ar opportunity to do just that.By integrating complementary technologies within a single facility and grid access point,they maximise renewable energy generation,mitigate intermittency issues,and bolster grid stability.The capacity to store surplus solar energy and deploy it during peak demand perio
