Sectors of application
Photovoltaic installer sector / Centralised production / Solution integrator for buildings.
Your challenges
- To characterise and approve a product or integrated solution for the production of photovoltaic electricity
- To assess the initial and long-term behaviour of modules and their systems (inverters, etc.)
- To develop sizing tools for photovoltaic projects in various sectors (tertiary, industrial, residential, centralised)
- To define a research programme and/or develop test resources associated with photovoltaic production
Our strengths
- Know-how implemented in support of EDF Energies Nouvelles (EN) and its subsidiaries (EDF Group).
- Multi-physical modelling tools, enabling work to be carried out from the module level to the PV equipment level.
- Training provided for a wide range of audiences (researchers, study engineers, etc.).
- Internationally recognised scientific excellence (publications, awards, higher education).
Our offer
- Trial and test campaigns of all technologies.
- Modelling studies of photovoltaic installations and optimisation of their sizing and management.
- Set-up of research projects and programmes on centralised and decentralised photovoltaic systems.
