A new project at the Fraunhofer CSP is researching production processes for connecting photovoltaic modules with aluminum components so that efficient energy generation, architectural freedom of design and cost-effective manufacturing processes are combined. Initial results will be presented at the EU PVSEC from September 23 to 27 in Vienna.
Sustainable solar modules made from renewable raw materials
In the recently completed project “E2 - E-Quadrat. Renewable energies from renewable raw materials” the Fraunhofer CSP, together with partners, has developed a solar module in which the components that are not directly required for light-to-electricity conversion are made from biodegradable materials, recyclable materials or renewable raw materials.
Fraunhofer and Korean Institute of Energy Research cooperate on hydrogen and renewable energies
Three Fraunhofer Institutes and the Korean Institute of Energy Research (KIER) want to intensify their exchange on hydrogen, photovoltaics and wind energy topics. To this end, a cooperation agreement was signed today in Halle (Saale).
Preparative and analytical methods in order to be able to provide legally secure evidence of patent infringements are developed by Fraunhofer CSP together with partners in the "IP protection" project.
Recycling photovoltaic modules for a sustainable value chain
The recycling of components from end-of-life solar modules is an important approach to the sustainable use of resources. This is where the recently launched joint project "RETRIEVE" comes in. The Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP is contributing its expertise in material analysis and process optimization.
