KIT Installs Solar Modules of about 1 Megawatt Power /
Research Cooperation with Module Manufacturer SOLARWATT / Additional Storage
System Planned
Renewable energies and electric energy storage are central
research topics of KIT. Now, KIT is transferring its theoretical findings into
practice: KIT will build the largest photovoltaics facility for own consumption
in Germany and produce energy from renewable sources for its own supply. In
cooperation with the module manufacturer SOLARWATT, the new facility will also
be used to study how service life and grid compatibility of photovoltaics
systems can be enhanced.
