Abstract: The Borexino liquid scintillator neutrino observatory has a unique capability toperform high-precision solar neutrino observations thanks to its exceptional radiopurity andgood energy resolution (5% at 1 MeV). A comprehensive study of the pp-chain neutrinos waspresented that includes the direct measurements of 7Be, pp and pep neutrino fluxes with thehighest precision ever achieved (down to 2.8% in the 7Be component), the 8B with the lowestenergy threshold, the best limit on CNO neutrinos and the first Borexino limit on hep neutrinos.These results are important to validate the MSW-LMA oscillation paradigm across the full solarenergy range and to exclude possible Non-Standard neutrino Interactions (NSIs). In particularthe effects of neutrino-flavor-diagonal Neutral-Current (NC) interactions that modify the νeeand ντ e couplings while preserving their chiral and flavor structures, have been investigated. Atdetection, the shape of the electron-recoil spectrum is affected by changes in the νee and ντ ecouplings, quantified by the parameters εL/Re and εL/Rτ . New bounds to all four parameters wereobtained, quite stringent compared to the global ones. In particular, the best constraint to-dateon εLe was achieved. A comprehensive summary of all the recent results on solar neutrinos fromBorexino is reported in the present paper.
