Preisverleihung für die Gewinner des Wettbewerbs für Photovoltaikanlagen an der Eurasischen Nationalen Universität nach L.N. Gumilev, Kasachstan

Photovoltaic unit awarding ceremony was held at the ENU Transport and Energy Faculty

On December 7, a ceremony was held to present a photovoltaic system to the Faculty of Transport and Energy at L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University in Nur-Sultan. The photovoltaic system was installed at the university as part of the “Solar Universities” project. The ceremony was attended by the Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Dean of the Faculty […]

Neue Technologien im Photovoltaikmarkt

New technologies on the PV market

In 2021, the PV industry has had to contend with numerous shortages in the supply of PV modules and project delays. Nevertheless, new innovations in the field of solar energy are expected, writes PV Magazine. In the future, large-format solar modules will prevail in the PV manufacturing market, according to the International Photovoltaic Technology Roadmap […]

Wer ist Marktführer im Photovoltaikmarkt?

Who leads the PV market?

From the statistics of the analytical companies, one can conclude that the share of renewable energy is growing at an average rate of 25-27%. Also in 2021, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the share of renewable energy in electricity generation worldwide will increase to 30%, with increases in all sectors – electricity, heating, […]

Warum Windkraftanlagen immer größer werden

Why wind turbines are getting bigger

The world’s largest wind turbine was completed in November 2021 by Siemes Gamesa in Østerild, Denmark. The gigantic prototype SG 14-222 DD has a rotor diameter of 222m and has an output of 14 MW. It is scheduled to be tested and then mass produced by 2024. But the race for the world record continues: […]

IEA prognostiziert 4.800 Gigawatt Gesamtkapazität an erneuerbarer Energie im Jahr 2026

IEA forecasts 4800 gigawatts total capacity from renewables in 2026

In 2021, the capacity of newly installed renewable energy systems rose more strongly than ever before. The International Energy Agency (IEA) calculated 290 gigawatts of newly installed capacity, as it announced last week in its report “Renewables 2021 – Analysis and forecasts to 2026”. For photovoltaics, global growth was 17 percent, year-on-year, at 160 gigawatts. […]

Die Zukunft der Batterien: Nachhaltige Alternativen zu Lithium-Ionen-Batterien finden

In search for new batteries

The question of the sustainability of lithium-ion batteries is controversial: The high demand for raw materials worsens their environmental balance; mining conditions, non-transparent supply chains and the unresolved issue of recycling are also arguments put forward against the lithium-ion battery. The exact raw material consumption of these battery systems varies between the different battery types. […]

Recycling alter Solarmodule

Recycling old solar modules

The energy transition and high energy prices have increased the demand for photovoltaics worldwide. It is foreseeable that a large quantity of photovoltaic systems will reach the end of their life cycle in the coming years. For Germany alone, it is estimated that approximately 5 million solar modules will be discarded annually in the future. […]

Dekarbonisierung und Rohstoffknappheit

Shortage of raw materials and decarbonization

Decarbonization is currently presenting many countries with the problem of raw material shortages in many sectors. In some cases, climate-neutral energy systems require considerable quantities of rare raw materials for plants and storage systems. In 2022, photovoltaic additions worldwide will exceed 200 GW for the first time. Total investment is estimated at at least $170 […]

Im Jahr 2021 stieg die installierte Leistung von Solarkraftwerken in Europa um 34 %

European PV installed capacity increased by 34 % in 2021

SolarPower Europe has published a report forecasting the development of the photovoltaic industry in the European Union for the period 2021-2025. The authors calculated that the growth of the European PV market this year was 34% stronger than last year. With 25.9 GW of newly installed photovoltaic capacity, a new record growth would have been […]
