digitalPV
The ENERGIEregion Nürnberg e.V. has launched a new innovation network to advance the digitalization in the planning, operation, and maintenance of photovoltaic (PV) systems. With more than 82 gigawatts peak of PV installations already in Germany, achieving a CO2-neutral energy supply will require a fivefold increase in capacity. Dr. Jens Hauch of ENERGIEregion Nürnberg e.V. anticipates a trend towards integrating PV systems into existing spaces, such as facades and rooftops.
Through the «digitalPV» network, 15 partners from industry and academia, including the Chair of Robotics at the University of Wuerzburg, are collaborating to develop innovative solutions to these challenges. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. During the first meeting of the network partners in Erlangen, initial ideas for technologies like automated inspections and AI-supported diagnostic systems were already crafted. Peter Will, Managing Director of ENERGIEregion Nürnberg e.V., expressed his enthusiasm about the diverse expertise from the Nuremberg metropolitan region coming together to tackle this forward-looking issue.
