Meet Avalon Siegel, Sales & Customer Growth Team Lead at Virto Solar, whom we caught up with at Intersolar Europe in Munich. Virto Solar provides intelligent solar design software that enables EPCs, developers, and engineers to design photovoltaic projects more accurately while significantly reducing planning time. A standout feature of the platform is its AI-driven automation, which can streamline the engineering process and shorten project design from weeks to just a matter of days.

Deserts turned into power plants

Some of the world’s largest solar power plants have been built in places once considered almost useless. Deserts receive abundant sunshine throughout the year, making them ideal locations for generating renewable electricity. Certain facilities contain millions of solar panels and cover areas comparable to medium-sized cities. The electricity they produce is enough to power hundreds of thousands, and sometimes even millions, of homes. These massive projects demonstrate how previously unused landscapes can become key contributors to the global clean energy transition. Instead of being known only for extreme heat and endless sand, deserts are increasingly becoming symbols of innovation, sustainability and the enormous potential of solar energy for future generations.

Villages transformed by the sun

Solar energy has the power to change more than cities and industries it can transform entire communities. Barefoot College trains women from remote villages, many of whom had little or no technical education before joining the program. They learn how to install, maintain and repair solar power systems before returning home to bring electricity to their own communities. In many villages, this has meant electric lighting for homes, schools and healthcare centers for the first time. The initiative creates local jobs, strengthens independence and improves quality of life while expanding access to clean energy. It shows that solar power is not only a technological breakthrough but also a powerful tool for social development and lasting positive change.

Space would stop without the sun

There are no electrical outlets in space, making solar energy one of the most important power sources for spacecraft. Satellites and the International Space Station rely on large solar arrays to generate electricity for communication systems, scientific instruments and onboard operations. These panels are designed to withstand the harsh environment of space, including vacuum, intense radiation and extreme temperature changes, while operating reliably for many years. Without solar technology, modern satellite communications, Earth observation and human space exploration would be nearly impossible. Space remains one of the most impressive examples of how solar power enables technologies that transform life both on Earth and far beyond our planet.

The airport powered by sunshine

Airports are usually associated with enormous fuel consumption, yet one of them has become a global example of renewable energy. Cochin International Airport produces enough electricity from its own solar power plant to cover its annual operational needs. Tens of thousands of solar panels supply energy for terminals, offices and essential airport services. The investment has dramatically reduced carbon emissions while proving that even highly energy-intensive facilities can rely heavily on renewable power. Its success has inspired airports around the world to explore similar projects, demonstrating that solar energy is capable of supporting critical infrastructure without compromising reliability or efficiency.

Solar trees combine nature-inspired design with modern renewable energy technology. Their solar panels are arranged like branches and leaves, allowing a large energy-producing surface to fit into a relatively small footprint. They are increasingly installed in parks, public squares, university campuses and near electric vehicle charging stations. Many designs also include LED lighting, USB charging points and even free Wi-Fi for visitors. Beyond generating clean electricity, solar trees serve as eye-catching symbols of sustainability, encouraging people to think differently about renewable energy. They demonstrate that solar technology can be both practical and visually appealing, transforming everyday public spaces into sources of clean power and environmental awareness.

What if roads could generate electricity instead of serving only transportation? This idea inspired the development of solar roads, where photovoltaic panels are built directly into the road surface. Pilot projects in France and the Netherlands have tested whether traffic infrastructure can also produce renewable energy. Although the technology has not yet met all economic expectations, it has provided valuable engineering experience. Researchers have learned how difficult it is to protect solar panels from heavy vehicles, weather conditions and constant wear while maintaining energy production. In the future, solar surfaces may prove more effective in parking areas, cycle paths and other low-traffic locations, where renewable electricity generation and transportation can successfully work together.

Solar power has also proven its potential at sea. PlanetSolar became the first vessel to circumnavigate the globe using only energy generated by the sun. Its deck was covered with hundreds of square metres of solar panels that continuously charged onboard batteries, providing the electricity needed for long-distance voyages. The expedition demonstrated that fossil fuel-free navigation is not just a concept but a practical reality. Although commercial shipping still faces significant technical challenges, the achievement marked an important milestone in sustainable transportation. PlanetSolar inspired the development of future electric and hybrid vessels while proving that solar energy can provide reliable power even across vast oceans and during demanding international expeditions.

Will AI be running Europe’s power grids by 2030?

As solar and wind energy continue to grow across Europe, managing the electricity grid is becoming more complex than ever. That's where Artificial Intelligence comes in.

AI-powered systems can analyze massive amounts of data in real time, predict grid congestion, improve renewable energy forecasts, and help ensure that every possible kilowatt-hour of clean electricity is used instead of being curtailed.

From digital twins of power networks to advanced forecasting and predictive maintenance, AI is already helping grid operators improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase energy security.

According to industry experts, AI could soon become one of the most important tools for managing the renewable energy transition, supporting everything from battery storage systems to cybersecurity and smart grid operations.

The question is no longer whether AI will play a role in the energy sector—but how quickly it will transform it.

Want to learn more? AI-driven energy solutions will be one of the key topics at EM-Power Europe in Munich, June 23–25.

💬 Do you trust AI to help operate the power grid of the future?
