Agrivoltaic systems enable the simultaneous production of renewable energy and agricultural products on the same area. This makes it a key technology for preventing competition for land and meeting the growing demand for solar power.

Agri-Photovoltaik (Agri-PV) ermöglicht die gleichzeitige Produktion regenerativer Energie und landwirtschaftlicher Erzeugnisse auf derselben Fläche. Damit gilt sie als Schlüsseltechnologie, um Flächenkonkurrenzen zu verhindern und den wachsenden Bedarf an Solarstrom zu decken.

Schwimmende Photovoltaik (engl. Floating PV) ist eine innovative Technologie, die einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur Energiewende leisten kann. Die auf Schwimmkörpern in stehenden Gewässern oder auf dem Meer installierten PV-Kraftwerke können in gefluteten Tagebauflächen, Kiesgruben und Stauseen zum Einsatz kommen. Laut einer aktuellen Studie des Fraunhofer ISE liegt das technische Potenzial je nach Gewässerabdeckung und Ausrichtung der FPV-Anlage zwischen 11,8 und 44,5 GWp. Mit unseren FuE-Leistungen unterstützen wir dabei, dieses Potenzial zu heben, indem wir maßgeschneiderte Lösungen für Planung und Umsetzung anbieten, die auf die spezifischen Anforderungen abgestimmt sind.

Floating photovoltaics (FPV) is an innovative technology with the potential to contribute significantly to the energy transition. Installed on floating structures in artificial bodies of water or offshore, FPV power plants can be deployed in flooded mining lakes, gravel pits and reservoirs.

Photovoltaics is regarded as one of the most important pillars of the future energy supply. By the end of 2021, 59 GWP of photovoltaics had been installed in Germany, with about 75 % on roofs and the rest ground mounted. The integration of PV into buildings, vehicles and roads as well as the incorporation into agricultural and water areas and public places in urban centers unlocks vast areas for energy generation with a high economic potential.

In order to determine the solar radiation potential of passenger cars, we are currently investigating and measuring solar radiation on German roads as part of a citizen science campaign with 80 vehicles. The data will be used in new simulation models for solar radiation on traffic routes. This would allow drivers to calculate how far they could drive with solar energy, at what time and on which route.

According to a study by Fraunhofer ISE, photovoltaic systems on Germany’s roofs have a technical potential of approx. 560 GWp. So far, rooftop systems have mostly been installed on house roofs. However, with a widespread expansion of rooftop solar installations, there is a risk that the public’s acceptance of photovoltaic systems could decline. One solution is to use integrated solar modules instead of roofing tiles, which are visually hardly distinguishable from conventional roofing tiles and produce solar power at the same time.

Our independant quality assurance services have been contributing to high performance and optimal yields of PV power plants for more than 30 years. Real world experience highlights the importance of system design, proper planning, engineering, component selection and construction work for successful PV systems. Thus, comprehensive quality assurance for PV power plants covers all phases of the completion process from the planning to system operation and maintenance.

Electricity from photovoltaic systems is an essential component of the energy transition. To generate sufficient energy, large areas have to be equipped with solar modules. Here, road infrastructure can offer a large area of potential.

Auf Deutschlands Dächern haben Photovoltaiksysteme laut einer Studie des Fraunhofer ISE ein technisches Potenzial von ca. 560 GWp. Bisher werden meist Aufdachanlagen auf Hausdächern errichtet. Bei einem breitflächigen Ausbau der Solar-dachanlagen besteht jedoch die Gefahr, dass die Akzeptanz der Bevölkerung für Photovoltaiksysteme schwinden könnte. Eine Lösung können integrierte Solarmodule statt Dachziegel für die Dacheindeckung sein, die sich optisch kaum von herkömmlichen Dachziegeln unterscheiden und dabei Solarstrom produzieren.
