4 FAQs about Outdoor solar energy field energy evaluation comparison

What is a solar test site?

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.

Why should you use Fraunhofer ISE solar test sites?

Fraunhofer ISE’s solar test sites enable precise collection of all relevant monitoring data. Together with classical laboratory tests, they provide valuable infor-mation on the possible degradation and the expected lifetime yield of PV modules in different climatic zones and allow their comparative evaluation.

Do bifacial solar modules increase the electric yield of PV power plants?

Bifacial modules are able to utilize light from both sides and therefore increase the electric yield of PV Power Plants. Visualization of different solar systems on the Solar TestField in Merdingen near Freiburg, Germany. Flasher für bifaziale Module am Fraunhofer ISE CalLab PV Modules.

Why do we test PV modules?

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.
