FiPVT retrofit
Facade-integrated PVT modules for large-scale retrofit applications
As part of the FiPVT-Retrofit project, the Industrial Measurement Technology project group at HTWK Leipzig and DRECHSLERtechnik GmbH are developing a photovoltaic-thermal module system for the straightforward retrofitting of industrial façades, which combines organic photovoltaic films with air as the heat transfer medium, thereby providing both electricity and heat.

PiKE
Crop production in the context of climate change and the energy transition – a research project for school pupils
The energy transition is affecting all our lives: in order to link two key issues relating to the provision of basic services to the population, the project focuses on the shared use of land for agriculture and renewable energy generation via photovoltaics – agri-photovoltaics.
Funding: German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU)
Project duration: 01/2023 – 12/2024
