PV2Float will check several solar advances with different structure designs over a three-year duration

There has been a boost in the share of PV systems in Germany that have an eastern and western orientation, according to brand-new searchings for from Fraunhofer ISE.

A research team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has actually set a brand-new conversion efficiency globe record of 26% for both-sides-contacted silicon solar cells.

Fraunhofer ISE spin-off NexWafe has actually elevated EUR10 million in a new Series B round of funding as the business transfers to another pilot production stage.

A research project has created a silicon carbide inverter with the ability of allowing large-scale solar systems to connect straight to medium-voltage grids without the need of a transformer.

As part of its "Green Deal", the EU specifies that CO2 emissions have to be lowered by 55 percent by 2030 and by 100 percent by 2050 (in each case contrasted to the recommendation year 1990).

German solar electric automobile producer Sono Motors is to join the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) to examine and also certify the business's innovation for integrating solar cells into the bodywork of electric automobiles (EVs).

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has actually created an alternate process for creating solar battery calls. The laser transfer as well as shooting (LTF) method offers numerous benefits contrasted to conventional procedures, specifically for specific solar cell surface areas. Along with market partners in the joint project "C3PO", the Fraunhofer scientists in Freiburg have realized a totally automated LTF procedure for the first time on a system from Pulsar Photonics GmbH. Currently the process can be systematically examined and also maximized with the goal of industrial execution. f-cell conference in Stuttgart on September 29.

The record was obtained with a 1.1 sq cm tool.

The Austrian Institute of Technology, Fraunhofer ISE, and Forster Industrietechnik are creating a brand-new rooftop PV system idea for freeways. They aim to harness the capacity of underexploited roadway networks to produce electrical power.

The brand-new outcomes mark an improvement on the institute's previous 24.3% efficiency record. The III-V tandem solar cell is directly grown on silicon.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE (Fraunhofer ISE) has actually obtained EUR740,000 (US$ 866,429) in financing to check out land use problems between solar farms as well as farming land.

Kaco New Energy, STS Transformatoren Stockach, and Fraunhofer ISE have created a brand-new topology, administration software program, as well as transistors for crossbreed inverters. Existing tools frequently experience efficiency losses when power need is reduced, as circuits and transistors are made to operate close to design requirements. The scientists assert their new tech can enable even more battery use, based on simulation outcomes.

The system can metallize the front and also back sides of silicon solar cells with unprecedented accuracy and also rate, Fraunhofer ISE stated. The technology is likewise appropriate for elements such as printed motherboard or chip cards.

Fraunhofer ISE scientists have actually incorporated stress and anxiety as well as temperature level sensing units within a PV module. They assert that the gadgets cover an extremely marginal part of the cells, which their communication with the cell as well as the module itself is rather minimal. The sensing units can be produced as part of a normal cell production procedure.
