Largest PV Facility for Own Consumption in Germany



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.
