pv magazine highlight top innovation: combination module with low-temperature trick

Award for good ideas:

In the September round, pv magazine chose two submissions as highlights. There is no spotlight this time.

What the jury says:

Use All Energy – combi-module with low-temperature trick

If it is possible to use not only the electricity but also the heat from the photovoltaic modules in a practical way, the energy yield from the roof will be multiplied. The start-up Use All Energy has developed a combination that allows it to use standard photovoltaic modules, which reduces costs and even allows for retrofits compared to custom-made ones. It already has certification and approval from the Tier 1 module manufacturer. It combines the system with a brine-water heat pump. For this, the jury awarded the development with the pv magazine highlight top innovation.

The judges

Volker Quaschning is a professor for regenerative energy systems at the HTW Berlin. Hans Urban has been an expert and consultant for photovoltaics, storage and e-mobility for many years. Winfried Wahl heads the product management at Longi Solar in Germany.
