What is the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE?

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg, Germany is the largest solar research institute in Europe. With a staff of about 1 400, we are committed to promoting a sustainable, economic, secure and socially just energy supply system based on renewable energy sources.

Can a Fraunhofer ISE technology make photovoltaic modules more energy-efficient?

NexWafe, another company built on Fraunhofer ISE technology, is working on energy-efficient manufacturing of photovoltaic modules. Using an innovative production process, it has succeeded in manufacturing silicon wafers − the heart of every photovoltaic cell − far more efficiently than was previously possible.

Who is Fraunhofer ISE?

Fraunhofer ISE has investigated the production and supply costs of hydrogen in and from Colombia. His Royal Highness, The Grand Duke of Luxembourg visited the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE on November 8, 2024.

Will German glass industry move into photovoltaic manufacturing?

This will allow the German glass industry to move into photovoltaic manufacturing,” says Dr. Wagner. The EU project UNIQUE, which is led by Fraunhofer ISE and involves all the stakeholders in printable solar cells, is pushing the efficiency of these new solar cells to even higher levels.

Is Fraunhofer ISE certified?

How does Fraunhofer IAP work?

Fraunhofer IAP uses nanoparticles to apply a coating to the window panes that collects light, conducts it to the front side of the glass pane and feeds it into an organic solar cell there. “The efficiency is only at 4 to 7 percent at the moment, which is very limited.
