Faktor 3 - Technology

Technology

The term 'technology' is very broad, but at the end of the day it's all about getting the most out of the sun's energy. We have a broad knowledge of different PV technologies and their characteristics which is important given, that placement, surroundings and consumer needs all influence the choice of the right PV.

We participate in large-scale R&D projects in order to broaden our knowledge about solar cells. The projects involve other companies, research and educational institutions, and are supported by ELFORSK and ForskEL (Danish Energy and Energinet.dk). These interdisciplinary projects are highly interesting and have high ambitions for the future. We are currently participating in an R&D project with the Danish Technological Institute and DTU Fotonik, with the objective of exploring the potential for more solar cells in the cityscape. The project is supported by Energinet.dk with approximately 2m DKK. Read more here.

We strive to optimise our products in terms of reducing both energy consumption and electrical loss. By taking the specific product as a starting point, we deal with the entire circuit including solar cells, voltage inverters, the electrical control of energy storage units, the choice of energy storage and the end-use appliance. All components must be as energy-efficient as possible, which is why we keep close contacts with the battery and LED industry. In addition, we work with highly competent freelance electrical engineers on a per-project basis.

Solar irradiation in Denmark during the year

We have to admit that the Danish climate doesn't always make for the most ideal light conditions. We can provide you with advice about which type of solar cell is best, depending on the environment of the installation.

Solar irradiation varies greatly throughout the year in Denmark, which is why it's not so straight-forward to dimension solar cells. We try to identify the user's needs, which might be dependent on the season, and we work in close dialogue with our client to ensure a dynamic process that optimises both the design and technology. In this way, we can lay the foundation for a product that functions under predefined conditions.
