HelioControl is the first system to determine the target points of heliostats during operation and align them optimally.

PECVD makes it possible to deposit a hydrogen containing layer on TOPCon solar cells. As a result, the solar cells produce more power.

The new remote-controlled robot enables greater safety in the operation of the wind turbines. Failures due to material defects are prevented.

How can plant operators integrate as much renewable energy into their district heating as possible while also saving on costs?

The learning platform of the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics LIAG aims to make geothermal energy accessible to all who are interested.

Thanks to the PARASOL passive radar system, there is now an end to the continuous night-time flashing at wind farms.

Another living lab for the energy transition is being launched in Hamburg to study an integrated household heating transition in Wilhelmsburg.

New multifocus tower of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) goes into operation.

An optimised contact layer has produced an efficiency of 24.3 per cent for thin-film solar cells made of the materials CIGS and perovskite.
