Photovoltaics – technology for tomorrow
Forschung und innovative Entwicklungen aus Österreich

Photovoltaics (PV) are going to play an increasingly important role as an energy source in the future. PV has the greatest technical potential, across Europe but also worldwide, for generating electricity from renewable sources. New technological developments aimed at increasing efficiency, integrating PV into buildings and appliances and improving cost-benefit ratios create the right conditions for spreading this sustainable way of producing electricity more widely.
