Dr. Kristian Peter, founder of the ISC, provided attendees with an in-depth introduction to ISC's latest 250kW rooftop photovoltaic project. Located on the roof of ISC's newly expanded R&D facility, the project is equipped with a 60kW inverter supplied by Hopewind. Dr. Peter, alongside Hopewind's Technical Manager, personally took part in the installation and commissioning process, successfully achieving grid connection before the event. It is estimated that this project will save ISC up to €70,000 in electricity costs annually. In addition, the project also uses Aiko's most efficient ABC photovoltaic modules, embodying a commitment to green and low-carbon principles from the research and development stage, setting a benchmark for the industry and driving Europe's energy transition forward.
Dr. Kristian Peter stated, “For 20 years, ISC has been dedicated to researching efficient modules and new energy system technologies, while also offering installation training courses. By having the ISC team install the rooftop system themselves, we can better understand the installation process and work together with installers to accelerate the adoption of advanced system application including N-type modules, high efficient inverters and battery.”
Mr. Roland Burkhardt, Founder and CEO of Energy Depot, with 40 years experience in the solar industry, highlighted during his speech: “In recent years, the European photovoltaic industry has seen rapid growth, with a surge of new market participants. However, installation standards still vary significantly. We are honored to collaborate as members of ISC with Hopewind to contribute to this 250kW project. In the future, Energy Depot will continue to promote standardized installation training courses through technical workshop for installers, in partnership with ISC. High-quality products and rigorous installation standards are key to enhancing the overall value of the photovoltaic industry.”
During the seminar, SolarLago, the Photovoltaic Association of Lake Constance—one of the most active regions for PV installation in the German-speaking area—provided an in-depth analysis of the local PV industry ecosystem and the evolving trends in application scenarios. Energy Depot offered a comprehensive overview of the global market supply of photovoltaic modules, inverters, and energy storage systems. Equipment manufacturers, including Aiko, GoodWe, Hopewind, and Solinteg, showcased their leading technological innovations, supporting installers and downstream clients in addressing growing market demands, especially amid global supply chain fluctuations, while maintaining competitiveness and enhancing
adaptability.
