Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE

Dear customers, project partners, sponsors and friends,

Unfortunately, the COVID 19 pandemic continues to keep the world in its grip, presenting us with major challenges and tight constraints. In Germany stricter measures to reduce contact have been put in place since January 2021.

In the new year, Fraunhofer ISE will continue to do everything in its power to protect the health of its employees and society as a whole by acting responsibly. Therefore, we strictly adhere to the official guidelines and those of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and also implement measures which are specific to Fraunhofer ISE. Of course, we remain in operation and continue to serve you. We process all project orders and continue to carry out our R&D for the energy transition. Should there be unavoidable small delays in projects at times due to the measures implemented to contain the infection, we ask for your understanding. We are determined to carry out all work as consistently, quickly and reliably as the current pandemic situation allows. Our employees are working partly at the institute and partly in their home offices. Therefore, please get in touch with your contact person preferably by e-mail. Should you still have difficulties in contacting them, please call our main telephone number: +49 761 4588-0.

We wish you, your relatives and employees good health!

Warm regards,

Prof. Dr. Hans-Martin Henning
Prof. Dr. Andreas Bett
