Kazakhstan´s national flag shows a bright yellow sun on a blue sky, so it should be one of the leading countries converting solar energy into electric power, avoiding the use of nuclear power

The widespread use of solar energy – our experience and cooperation for the implementation in

Kazakhstan

Photovoltaics in Adlershof

Adlershof has the complete value-added chain for photovoltaics:

• Basic research and development in scientific institutes

• Production of cells and modules

• Service companies covering the full spectrum of metrology and analytics

• Installer and supplier

•test fields and roofs with photovoltaic power plants

WISTA-MANAGEMENT GMBH

Photovoltaics: Adlershof as a Testfield of more than 1500 kWp

Types of installed Solar Cells at the campus Berlin-Adlershof

• unifacial monocrystalline silicon, • bifacial monocrystalline silicon, • multicrystalline silicon,• thin film crystalline silicon,• thin film amorphous silicon (flexible foil),• thin film Cu(InGa)Se2,• III-V-compound-heterojunction with concentrator.

In the following slides will be shown several examples of our solar energy installations

PV-Facade of the Center for Environmental-, Bio-, and Energy Technology, 14 kWp, 1998, AstroPower Si-Apex-cells, Modules made by SOLON

WISTA-MANAGEMENT GMBH

6 kWp at the roof of the International Technology Center, OWZ,(3 kWp unifacial, 3 kWp bifacial, mono-Si from Krasnodar, Russia)

The bifacial modules use the reflected light from the backside

The SIT-Foil Coating of two buildings of the Photonic Center, 46 kWp

by DACHLAND GmbH using a-Si-Modules from United-Solar Ovonic ECD

10 Solon Movers at Abram Ioffe Street, Each approx. 7 kWp, Installed in 2004

Sulfurcell, finished in October 2009,

Roof 375 kWp, Facade-Elements 45 kWp,

Testfield 45 kWp

Our experience with different kind of solarcells allowed us to assist our colleges in Kazakhstan to decide

- to built at first a research and production plant based on crystalline silicon and

- to install large photovoltaic power plants at many places in the country in order to avoid the erection of nuclear power stations
