Study on the lignite phase-out
The study by the Fraunhofer Centre for International Management and Knowledge Economy (IMW) focuses primarily on electricity costs and security of supply up to 2030 and reveals that an average annual increase in energy prices of around four percent is possible.
BiWiBi
Sustainable combination of bifacial solar modules, wind energy and biomass while simultaneously utilising agricultural land and increasing biodiversity.
Carbon concrete & solar energy
The Fraunhofer Centre for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP in Halle is working together with other corporate and research partners in a C3 project to optimally combine carbon concrete with the generation of solar power.
Fraunhofer CSP develops flexible photovoltaic modules for lorries with Continental
The photovoltaic modules with a total output of 270 watt peak can supply on-board systems such as radio, air conditioning or navigation systems and relieve other energy sources accordingly.
