PIONIERKRAFTwerk 3.0 allows supplementary electricity to be supplied to multiple apartments (or circuits) from a single source, enabling a tenant electricity model based on the principles of community energy supply. It is primarily intended for small apartment buildings with up to 20 units, either privately owned or co-owned. For the complete story, click here .
FOOD STORAGE SOLUTION
Cool Off-Grid Solar For Food Storage: The ‘Much Cooler’ project by Off-Grid Europe was a finalist in the Smart Integrated Energy category at The smarter E AWARD 2024 for its solution for food storage in off-grid, hot regions. The system is designed to address the significant food waste issues in developing countries due to inadequate refrigeration, this system integrates solar panels into the warehouse structure. These panels power a cooling system, operated at night through energy stored in lithium-iron-phosphate battery systems, reducing operational costs and complexity. For the complete story, click here .
PV MODULE INSPECTION
Non-Contact High-Res LIEL Characterization From Aerial PV Inspection And ISFH: Aerial PV Inspection GmbH and the Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) have teamed up to develop Light Induced Electroluminescence (LIEL) – an EL inspection method to analyze PV field systems and to identify failures in PV modules. In contrast to the common technique, no electrical current needs to be induced in the PV modules, which decreases the measurement effort drastically. The technology was the finalist for The smarter E AWARD 2024. LIEL is a unique measurement technology specifically for inspecting half-cell solar modules in large solar parks.
