Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP
Aluminum elements with integrated PV modules
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.
