Fraunhofer ISE, based in Freiburg, Germany, as a pioneer R&D institute of solar energy, presented mono- and bi-facial monocrystalline solar cells at InterSolar 2019. These products have an edge length of 22 mm x 148 […]
The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg implemented new analytic models into the software SmartCalc.CTM which simulates the losses and gains in power output due to cell-to-module (CTM) integration. Significantly extended features […]
The shingle technology was developed in the 1960s. First with the drastic fall in silicon solar cell costs and the successful realization of conductive glues, however, was the market readiness of the technology reached. Through […]
For many people, solar power is seen as a threat to farming communities. That’s because they believe farmers must choose between raising crops or livestock and installing solar panels on their land. The Fraunhofer Institute […]

For the first time in the history of Germany, the share of renewable electricity generation into the electricity mix of the country has exceeded from the share of fossil fuels, in 2019. Over the previous […]
A study commissioned by BayWa r.e. and done by Fraunhofer ISE, shows that Germany holds 56 GW theoretical potential for floating photovoltaic (FPV) power plants on lignite opencast mines. Dr. Andreas Bett, director of Fraunhofer […]
Hybrid Solar PV is a solution to many problems a business owner could have. High electricity price? High land price? Low Return of Investment? Hybrid Solar + Your business could be the answer, says Fraunhofer ISE. […]
Our 2020 feed starts with a Solar Hybrid solution called Agrivoltaics or AgroPhotovoltaics. This is an approach to install solar PV panels at farms. The panels are mounted above the crops “at a certain height” […]
In early June 2019, we reported that Germany achieved a remarkable milestone in that month. For the first time, solar PV became the largest single contributor to its electricity output for the month. Later throughout […]
