Solar parks are usually checked for defects in the solar field using infrared images taken by drones. This monitoring method is particularly simple and time-efficient. Unfortunately, not all defects in the solar modules can be detected with this method and the...
After winning races in Chile, Australia and Belgium, the Innoptus Solar Team (https://www.solarteam.be/) is the current world champion. For the 2023 race series and the prestigious race from Darwin to Adelaide in Australia in October 2023 as part of the Bridgestone...
On 9 December 2022, the European Solar PV Industry Alliance (ESIA) was launched by the European Commission. It aims to create the right conditions for investment in large-scale PV manufacturing capacity in Europe, across the solar PV value chain. ISFH joined the...
A measurement system for the calibration of large-area solar cells with edge lengths of up to 210 mm is now available to all customers at ISFH CalTeC. This system enables the measurement of current-voltage characteristics and addresses the ever-increasing...
High-precision measurement technology from the laboratory is making its way into industry: Ingenieurbüro Mencke und Tegtmeyer GmbH (IB-MuT) has brought the large-area reference solar cell “BigRef”, pre-developed by the Institute for Solar Energy Research...
The Aerial PV Inspection GmbH and the Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) team up to develop LIEL – a new electroluminescence (EL) inspection method to analyse PV field systems and to identify failures in PV modules. In contrast to the common technique...
