A main result of the Low Cost Active House BIPV project is to realise a demonstration campaign with 3 MWp, low cost BIPV solutions in connection to low energy class 2020, energy neutral and plus
Combining silicon solar cells and high efficiency solar cells into one cost-efficient, high-efficiency solar cell has been a dream of the solar industry for decades. However, differences in the
Grid side converter (GSC) is the key for PV integration. GSCs are still not capable of advanced control features that enable the full control of PV systems with fault ride through, reactive power
The overall target for this project is to develop an industrialized concept for Building Integrated Solar PV-BIPV that visualizes a number of added values, minimizes additional costs and thus paves
The purpose of the project is through applied research and development to demonstrate and develop a building-integratable, transparent PV module harvesting direct sunlight, acting as intelligent
An energy payback time less than 1 year for a complete polymer solar cell plant is now reality. DTU, EnergiMidt and Gaia Solar are now taking the next crucial step towards sustainable reliable energy
This project focuses on the integration of photovoltaics (PVs) with thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and microchannel heat exchangers (µHX) in two parallel phases: low-thickness solar power systems

The purpose is to achieve an energy pay-back time of less than one year for a complete grid-connected installation with polymer solar cells. The project comprises development of polymer solar modules
This project aims to support the integration and higher penetration of PV systems into the electrical power systems by advanced grid condition monitoring and grid control, Diagnostics and failure
The purpose of the project is to develop, design and demonstrate a total concept with solar heat, borehole storage and heat pump for electricity regulation and up to 100% reduction of fossil fuels on
Problem description: The impact of high penetration levels of PV has different dimensions: i) In the distribution network, a high share of PV may require new approaches for voltage control as the
Development and testing different methods to fasten mono crystalline solar cells to a standard zinc roof system and finding different mono crystalline solar cells to find the optimal configuration.
PolyStaR aims at demonstrating large-area processing of polymeric solar cells with improved stability and reliability. A transnational consortium addresses the problem of unifying power conversion
The goal of the project is the continued development and validation of a PowerShade window and facade element, which is a strong solar shading and a semi-transparent solar cell. The core technology is
The objective of the project is to document and demonstrate the economic, functional and aesthetical potential of thin-film PV installations under Northern European conditions.
The project generated important knowledge about practical light measurements, but also an awareness of the need to characterise light and PV cells with varying spectral light distribution. To address
From a power conversion point of view it has been demonstrated that solar cell segmentation can be performed and a high performance local cell controller can also be made. The project has developed so
The purpose of the project “Customized PEC modules” was to move from the production hand-made individual DSCs in the laboratory to the production of DSC modules in a semi-automated process. At the
The project will focus on establishing a foundation for the production of cost-efficient PVs and modules meeting the architectural requirements. The value chain from silicon crystals to the production
The project proved that PowerShade with an efficiency ratio in excess of 5% can be produced, and that future development will probably further increase its efficiency. The project also showed that the
