Fraunhofer ISE won three student awards at the 47th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference as the world’s oldest photovoltaic conference. This conference will be held in virtual form from June 15 to August 21. One of […]
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 […]

Agrivoltaics refers to the innovative use of farmland to produce electricity using solar panels, and food. This system was designed to develop sustainable solutions to ensure food security and shift to renewable sources of energy. […]
It was in the last days of February that we reported that for the first time in the history of Germany, the share of renewable electricity generation into the electricity mix of the country has […]
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 […]
