SPECTRUM

Advancing Solar Innovation with SPECTRUM & Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE?? SPECTRUM Project brings together expertise from leading research platforms to develop next-generation hybrid solar technologies. One of these platforms is Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE, a pioneer in solar energy research for over 40 years. FISE plays a key role in optimizing photovoltaic components for our innovative absorbers. A major step forward is the use of Module-TEC, Fraunhofer ISE’s newly expanded Technology Evaluation Center. This 1,000 m2 facility will be instrumental in developing and integrating customized solar cells for the SPECTRUM prototypes, pushing the boundaries of solar efficiency and application. ??Learn more about Module-TEC: https://lnkd.in/dxaqkD6D Through collaboration & cutting-edge R&D, SPECTRUM is shaping the future of high-performance hybrid solar solutions.

?? Recycling Meets Renewable Innovation! On Global Recycling Day, we recognize the need for a circular approach in renewables - maximizing efficiency, repurposing resources, and ensuring that clean energy remains truly sustainable. And sustainability in solar sector goes beyond just energy generation. It is also about efficient and maximum usage of the available resources. And that is what SPECTRUM aims to achieve - maximum usage of the available solar spectrum, and synchronising IWW treatment and hydrogen generation. #SPECTRUM #GlobalRecyclingDay #SustainableEnergy #CircularEconomy #SolarInnovation #RenewableEnergy

Project Progress ?? The SPECTRUM project goes beyond conventional solar energy by fully optimising the solar spectrum to generate multiple clean energy solutions while supporting industrial wastewater treatment. ?? How do we transform a scientific breakthrough into a real-world energy solution? That’s what WP3 in the SPECTRUM project is all about! This is what is happening in WP3: ?? T3.1 - Refining Prototype Designs Every detail, from materials to integration, will be optimised to meet industrial and environmental standards. ?? T3.2 - Building the Prototypes The SPECTRUM-LT and SPECTRUM-HT collectors will be manufactured at @HiG and @LNEG, integrating next-generation solar technologies ?? T3.3 – Defining Performance Testing Protocols: Since no standard methodology exists for hybrid collectors that combine heat, electricity, and hydrogen, WP3 will develop new experimental protocols to ensure accurate and comparable results. ?? T3.4 – Outdoor Experimental Testing: Prototypes will undergo rigorous real-world testing at LNEG and CIEMAT. By bridging scientific research and industrial application, WP3 ensures that SPECTRUM is not just an idea - it’s an energy revolution.

Maximizing solar efficiency is key to sustainable energy solutions! ?? A recent paper by Sze & Wei (2025) explores photovoltaic-thermal collectors, using spectrum division and solar concentration to enhance energy conversion. By efficiently separating visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light, their system optimizes both electricity and heat generation—an approach that aligns with SPECTRUM’s goals. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dZyM43zF While independent of our project, this research reinforces the SPECTRUM concept: developing an innovative solar collector that produces heat, PV electricity, and green hydrogen, while treating industrial wastewater. By leveraging spectral splitting, SPECTRUM ensures higher energy efficiency and sustainability for industrial applications. With upcoming prototype testing in WP3, we are one step closer to realizing a hybrid solar energy solution that can revolutionize industrial energy systems. Stay tuned! ?? #SPECTRUM #SolarInnovation #CleanTech #HybridSolar #FutureEnergy #SolarFutures
