In the PV2Float research project, floating solar energy plants are tested and further developed.
Outlines for the new funding format "Real-world Laboratories of the Energy Transition" can now be submitted to Project Management Jülich.
Teams of scientists from all disciplines can conduct research on the FINO platforms.
In a newly launched research project, researchers want to improve the manufacturing equipment for coating silicon perovskite tandem solar cells.
In the FEUERDRACHE research project, contact burning processes were optimised to produce highly efficient silicon solar cells.
The FINO platforms provide important data and insights for the further expansion of offshore wind energy.
A local biogas network connects biogas plants. This enables operators to distribute their biogas and feed it into decentralised CHPs.
Last year, the Federal Government funded 5,980 projects in the 7th Energy Research Programme.
Preliminary data shows that the global photovoltaics market has grown significantly - notwithstanding the current COVID-19 pandemic.
