Research project

Solartanne- Mounting solutions for photovoltaic systems in exposed locations

The project aims to provide mounting solutions for low-cost, high-quality PV systems in exposed locations. The innovative system enables high winter electricity yields and thereby makes a significant contribution to a secure power supply in the winter months. The two active modules reinforce the construction and prevent self-shadowing on the rear side.

The new system concept is being tested on a roof in Scuol and an alpine version is being developed in parallel. Load tests at SPF will test the stability of the construction and the functionality of the alpine reinforcement. Following a successful test phase, a pilot system will be erected at over 2000 meters above sea level and scientifically monitored.
