The Natural History Museum in Vienna has been fitted with a brand new solar installation. It now supplies twelve per cent of the electricity needed in the listed building.
The Austrian processing centre for green electricity subsidies has approved investment grants for more than two gigawatts of solar capacity this year. The problem child of the industry association PV Austria is still the expansion of open spaces - in addition to the known hurdles.
A large PV roof project has gone into operation on the 85,000-square-meter site roofs of Steyr Automotive in Austria. The 7.5 MW system was installed using the Schletter FixGrid and ClampFit systems. Schletter Group were once again working with the energy supplier Burgenland Energie on this project.
Our Editor in Chief recently went to see the birthplace of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the east of Austria. Based on a post for his blog, we present here a two-part series. We start out with the man himself as well as his humble beginnings and sheer determination. Next time we will then focus on his political career and activism for solar energy.
A farmer in Pyhra, Lower Austria, has covered part of his berry plantation with semi-transparent modules. This has advantages and the neighbourhood also benefits.
A number of conditions had to be observed when building the system. This is why it was installed parallel to a flat roof. The solar power only covers part of the theatre's requirements.
The Upper Austrian company M-Tec now also offers a storage unit for smaller households. The compact, modular system can be gradually expanded with additional battery modules as well as with the Energy Wizard inverter and the Energy Charger charging station.
Roadshow will have stops across Germany, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, Romania and Czechia presenting a 4-hour training session and a chance for networking at each stop.
A total of 15 universities and companies are involved in the project. The aim is to develop industrially usable and environmentally friendly cells. However, sodium is a tricky element and its use in storage technology is still in its infancy.
A project team from Vorarlberg in Austria has developed a system with which cycle paths can be quickly and scalably covered with solar modules. The solution offers the chance to generate plenty of solar power from sealed surfaces - and protection for cyclists.
INTEC Energy Solutions, a solar EPC systems provider, has embarked on a service endeavor for a project in Jalmicco area (Friuli Venezia Giulia region of Italy). The project is run in cooperation with KELAG of Austria
Koga Energy, the Austria based Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) solutions provider, has officially launched, providing services for solar energy projects across Europe.
An important focus of an extended research and development centre of Varta in Graz/Austria is on new materials and recycling.
The European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition has appointed Gabriele Eder as Chair of the 41st edition of the event which will take place from 23-27 September 2024 in Vienna, Austria.
To achieve the goals of the EU Green Deal, the expansion of the grid infrastructure and the flexibilization of energy generation are fundamental, Martin Dürnberger and Jörg Menyesch of CCE state in a guest article. They give an overview about the situation in different European countries.
Inverter manufacturer Fronius has almost doubled its production capacity in Sattledt, Austria. But more is needed to survive as a European manufacturer in a tough market, as a visit on site shows.
G&G Sonnenstrom built its agri-PV system with Next2Sun technology. But it was more than the dual-use option that convinced the jurors to award the project with the Solar Prize.
Fronius has put its new production facility into operation. This increases production capacity from four to seven gigawatts per year. Further expansion is already planned.
Worldwide, 31 solar process heat plants will go into operation in the next few weeks. The suppliers' order books are also quite full.
MO Energy Systems from Austria has developed a modular standard solution for solar facades. The scalable solution is suitable for existing and new buildings. It can be connected to concrete as well as brick and timber facades.
Wheat has now been harvested on the research field with Agri-PV system in Austria. The yields are now being measured and compared with surrounding fields.
The first partial results of an investigation into the use of photovoltaics in combination with agriculture are available. The results show that the combination of agriculture and solar power production works smoothly.
In the inverter segment, Fronius from Austria also has something new in its quiver: Hybrid inverter GEN24 Plus has already established itself in the company's portfolio. This model has now been joined by an even more economical version: the GEN24.
Austria's largest photovoltaic plant is currently under construction in the municipality of Nickelsdorf in Burgenland. The plant, which is community owned, will be the first in Austria to break the 100-megawatt mark. It is being constructed using Schletter’s FS UNO single-pile system.
In Gabersdorf, Austria, Next2Sun has commissioned the first vertical Agri-PV plant in the country. The plant will be scientifically monitored over a period of three years.
