Solar power plant

A state-of-the-art facility dedicated to high-precision monitoring of solar irradiance and meteorological parameters.

Located at 55.694243°N, 12.101793°E, the station provides crucial data for photovoltaic (PV) research, including resource assessment, system optimization, and long-term performance analysis.

Evaluates UnitSun curtain wall elements and other building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technologies under real-world conditions. The facility operates in two phases: a container setup (2022–2024) with PV façades on three sides and a free-standing L-shaped installation (from 2024).

Equipped with high-precision pyranometers, temperature sensors, power optimizers, and wind monitoring, the facility collects detailed performance data on irradiance, module temperature, and electrical output. Data is logged at 10-second intervals via Campbell Scientific loggers and stored in an SQL database.

The facility enables research on thermal and electrical behavior of BIPV systems, airgap effects on efficiency, and aesthetic solar integration, supporting the development of next-generation architectural solar solutions.

A cutting-edge test site for bifacial and monofacial PV systems, designed to evaluate energy gains under various tracking and fixed-tilt conditions. Established in collaboration with European Energy A/S, the facility supports research on bifacial energy optimization, spectral albedo effects, and degradation modes in modern PV technologies.

Provides advanced tools for electrical and optical characterization of photovoltaic modules under controlled conditions (25°C ±2°C).

It supports performance evaluation, degradation analysis, and calibration of PV technologies.

Provides a dedicated workspace for the assembly, interconnection, and lamination of photovoltaic modules.

Equipped with manual and automated soldering stations, a laminator, and precision cutting tools, the facility supports custom module prototyping and research on advanced PV materials.
