The solar test sites are ideal for testing innovative technologies, such as bifacial modules, TOPCon technology, hetero-junction technology (HJT), perovskite PV, organic PV (OPV) and tandem PV. Under outdoor conditions, comparative measurements can be performed with reference modules from Fraunhofer ISE as well as with competitor products.
In Merdingen, 15 km west of Freiburg in Germany, one of the largest test fields for solar energy systems in Europe is being built. On an area of three hectares, Fraunhofer ISE will be testing the performance and reliability of components and systems in real-life operation.
At our outdoor test sites, we test PV modules and their com-ponents for manufacturers and operators. The actual yield, reliability and aging behavior of new module types have a significant influence on the economic viability of solar power plants and the costs of the energy transition.
