FRAUNHOFER at a glance
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is the largest organisation for applied research in Europe and works closely with industry. Work in VIPERLAB will be carried out at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE (Freiburg) and the Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovotaics CSP (Halle), which is a collaboration of the Fraunhofer ISE and the Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IWMS (Halle). With more than 1200 employees, Fraunhofer ISE is the largest solar research institute in Europe. Based on the excellent laboratory infrastructure, materials, components, systems and processes are being developed in the business area Photovoltaics. The activities range from basic research to industrial realization and commercialisation
Main role and tasks in the project
Fraunhofer will provide infrastructure in the area of solar cell manufacturing and characterisation. Fraunhofer will lead WP10-JRA4 on environmental, social and economic impact. It will also contribute to the other JRA and the Networking activities
