Aug 13, 2025 · Polish independent power producer R.Power is putting on the market a 440-MWp portfolio of ready-to-build high-voltage solar photovoltaic projects across Poland, the company
Katja Wünschel, CEO of RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, commented, “Securing these 31 solar projects is a significant achievement and reinforces our commitment to expanding solar energy in Poland. We already have 91 MWac of solar capacity operational in the country, with over 100 MWac under construction.”
RWE has been awarded 31 solar projects in Poland, with a combined capacity of 102 megawatts of direct current (MWdc), following the latest renewable energy auction held by the Polish energy regulator, Urząd Regulacji Energetyki (URE). This capacity translates to approximately 84 megawatts of alternating current (MWac).
This is a very important step, for Poland and for the whole of Europe, towards 100% clean energy and the successful implementation of the sustainable energy transition. The PV power plant is located in the municipality of Witnica in west Poland, approx. 30km east of the German border and 150km east of Berlin.
RWE Renewables Poland Sp. z o.o. is a subsidiary of the international utility RWE which is one of the leading players worldwide in the area of renewable energy. RWE has been an active investor in Poland for more than 10 years.
This capacity translates to approximately 84 megawatts of alternating current (MWac). Most of the awarded projects have already secured permits and are expected to begin construction in early 2025. In Poland, RWE is currently developing solar farms with a total capacity exceeding 100 MWac.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
