IRENA and Fraunhofer ISE sign MOU to increase renewable energy deployment

Professor Eicke R. Weber, Director of Fraunhofer ISE

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) aimed at enhancing their cooperation while increasing the deployment of renewable energy systems worldwide.

Speaking during the signing ceremony at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, Professor Eicke R. Weber, Director of Fraunhofer ISE , said: "By joining forces we intend to create synergies and accelerate the deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions on a global level."

The two organisations will collaborate in a number of areas including joint public event support and initiatives to make energy more accessible via the UN Sustainable Energy for All program. They will also collaborate on providing insights on how Fraunhofer is developing solar energy technologies in different sectors.

In this issue we offer some insights into what the next wave of photovoltaic technologies may look like as that upturn gathers pace. Industry observers have been in broad agreement that the major next-gen PV technology innovations won’t happen straight away. But there’s also little doubt that the search is now on in earnest for the breakthroughs that will come to define the state of the art in the industry in the years to come.

Manufacturing The Solar Future: The 2014 Production Annual

Although the past few years have proved extremely testing for PV equipment manufacturers, falling module prices have driven solar end-market demand to previously unseen levels. That demand is now starting to be felt by manufacturers, to the extent that leading companies are starting to talk about serious capacity expansions later this year and into 2015. This means that the next 12 months will be a critical period if companies throughout the supply chain are to take full advantage of the PV industry’s next growth phase.
