Research: Wireless solar modules – wireless solar or photovoltaics – Freudenhofer Institute reports breakthrough in research

There have always been different types of solar panels, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Monocrystalline solar panels, which are typically black in color, are known for their higher efficiency and better performance, which is why they are preferred by many solar panel owners. Silicon-based poly and monocrystalline solar panels are the most commonly installed solar panels, and they are produced by many premium manufacturers such as IBC, JA Solar, Canadian Solar, Q CELLS and others. These brands offer product warranties of 10-30 years.

Today, the Freudenhofer Institute reported in a press release that it was now possible to transfer the energy generated from the solar modules wirelessly to the main power distribution board using the wireless function, with a power loss of only 6.4%. This technology is made possible by the use of powerful microinverters from Enphase, among others, which are smart grid-capable .

As the share of electricity from renewable energies increases, it becomes clear that in the future AI will control the energy system's processes on a large scale via wireless.

While power grids with central power generation have dominated so far, the trend is towards decentralized generation systems. This applies to production from renewable sources such as photovoltaic systems, solar thermal power plants, wind turbines and biogas plants. This leads to a much more complex structure, primarily in the area of ​​load control, voltage maintenance in the distribution network and maintaining network stability. In contrast to medium-sized to larger power plants, smaller, decentralized generation systems also feed directly into the lower voltage levels such as the low-voltage network or the medium-voltage network.

Suitable for:

• Building an intelligent power grid – artificial intelligence in the field of renewable energies

The potential for wireless solar systems is enormous

Whether for roof systems or solar parks, the cost structure in the planning and implementation of cable-free solar systems will be profound globally.

Renowned scientists and experts assume that the first wireless solar systems will come onto the market on April 1st next year.
