Glass front

This solar glass facade generates electricity. So-called bifacial solar cells, which allow light to pass through, were used for this purpose. Bifacial solar cells are cells that, unlike normal solar cells, are also irradiated with sunlight from the back and can therefore generate more electricity. The electricity generated by these solar modules is fed into […]
Shading of offices

In this system, the facade of a building was retrofitted with photovoltaic modules. In addition to producing electricity, the solar modules also serve to shade the window surfaces in summer to protect the office space from overheating. In this solar system, some of the electricity generated by the solar panels is used directly in the […]
Replacement of diesel generators

In remote areas, some important buildings like this health centre are sometimes not connected to the power grid. Instead, expensive, noisy and dirty diesel generators produce the electricity. Here, the photovoltaic systems are used as the main power source or as a backup power source for medical equipment and refrigerators for vaccines, replacing the diesel generators. […]
Electricity for the household

These solar panels installed on the roofs of homes generate electricity for the household. The solar panels are installed to provide renewable electricity in the houses for self-consumption, thereby helping to reduce the load on local power grids. It also allows the homeowner in Germany to save money. In Germany, the electricity generated by the […]
Street lights

Some areas are so far from the power grid that connecting these streetlights to the central power grid would be too expensive. These streetlamps are equipped with small solar panels and small batteries, so that they can store electricity during the day and light up at night. Photovoltaics is therefore sometimes the much more cost-effective […]
Humanitarian aid

In this refugee camp, lighting lanterns have been set up that can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled. They consist of small solar modules with integrated small batteries. During the day the batteries are charged by the solar modules and at night the stored energy is used for lighting.
Power for radio networks
This radio mast is in a remote area without access to the power grid and requires power to transmit radio signals. A solar system is also used here, which consists of solar modules and batteries, since radio signals also must be transmitted or amplified at night. The electricity produced here is always fully utilized. It […]
Parking lot roofing

This large PV system produces electricity and at the same time serves as a canopy for a car parking lot . The roofing provides a lot of shade and therefore protects the cars from overheating. An adjacent building, such as a shopping center, can use the electricity itself and electric cars can use the system […]
Power for schools

The solar system installed on the roof of this school produces solar electricity for use in the school. The installed system can be equipped with battery storage and can also be used as a back-up during possible power outages. The electricity produced is mainly used by the school itself and thus helps to reduce electricity […]
Power for drinking water supply

In many remote areas a diesel generator is used to power a water pump for drinking water. In this pump, the electricity is powered by a solar system instead of a diesel generator. The PV system used is placed at wells or rivers and can supply power to the pump during the day for pumping […]
