Inverters are increasingly becoming digital all-rounders, facilitating new applications and business models in the areas of self-consumption, storage, smart homes, power-to-heat, e-mobility and grid services. One current trend is for digital platforms. Driven by digitalization, innovation cycles for inverters are becoming ever shorter. Integrated communication packages with wifi, energy management systems and multiple interfaces are now standard in many cases. Inverters are thus developing into much more than just the electronic “brain” of a photovoltaic installation – they are also being used to control, monitor and integrate solar batteries, power-to-heat, smart home applications and electric vehicles. Recently, for example, a…
Swiss homeowners link mainly positive aspects to the energy transition, such as their own contribution to climate protection. This is shown in the results of a current survey from EuPD Research. However, a complete analysis of the portfolios of all Swiss energy suppliers in regards to products, services and information regarding the energy transition shows, that their offer is still expandable. This year the Swiss utilities with the best energy transition portfolios will be awarded with the Energiewende Award. Bonn. A current survey of 215 homeowners in Switzerland shows that the opportunities of the energy transition are mainly assessed positively.…
Munich, November 7, 2018: The solar market is thriving, and demand for batteries is also rising steadily. Market researchers have predicted photovoltaics (PV) deployment of roughly 100 gigawatts (GW) for 2018. At the same time, the global market for batteries and fuel cells is already worth 5.5 billion euros and is forecast to exceed 81 billion euros by 2025. The industry’s impressive growth is fueling a boom in production. Everything points to a continuing upward trend in the coming years – prompting Intersolar and ees Europe to focus more closely on production technologies. In 2019, the two energy exhibitions will…
