Turning walls into power plants – the OPV demonstrator at FAU
In a joint effort of FAU, ASCA, and HI ERN, within the framework of the EU Project BOOSTER, and with support from the FAU Profile Center Solar and Solar TAP, a new organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar demonstrator has been installed on campus.
The innovative installation features a 35 m² OPV façade that seamlessly combines architecture with renewable energy. A total of 120 OPV modules, fabricated by ASCA, are connected in three separate strings with remote monitoring. The façade, oriented vertically, enables power generation from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm, demonstrating the potential of OPV technology for urban integration and sustainable design.
