Gantner Instruments Environment Solutions develops and produces monitoring and control solutions for PV assets. The advanced products made in Germany are already used in over 37 countries. Managing Director Jörg Scholz and his employees are proud to be part of the rapid and future-oriented development in this field of renewable energies.
Due to its successful business development, Gantner Instruments moved into a state-of-the-art, innovative company building “with an outstanding design” three years ago. According to Jörg Scholz, this contributed to making the products’ quality and individuality visible to the world. “This enabled us to convince a considerably larger number of customers to work with Gantner Instruments.”
Gantner Instruments is currently delivering a complete monitoring and control solution for the 187 MW solar park “Weesow-Willmersdorf” of Energie Baden-Württemberg “EnBW.” The solar park is the largest photovoltaic project in Germany that has been implemented without subsidies. A total of 465,000 solar modules are installed and generate 187,000 MWh of electricity, equal to 51,000 households. This Solar park prevents approximately 129,000 tons of CO₂ emissions on an annual basis. All our primary customers are currently forecasting significant growth for the next few years and expect us to expand our capacities significantly.

Trapped in Ice
Arctic ice is disappearing — the question is how fast. Summer sea ice could endure 100 more years, or it could vanish later this decade, with disastrous consequences for the rest of the planet. To nail down the answer, an expedition to the top of the world has to uncover the complex physics of ice.

By 2050 we need to become a carbon-neutral society, and the aviation sector needs to contribute. While flying less can help reduce emissions, we have options for cleaner air travel. For one, we could power our flight with electricity or hydrogen, which are no longer ideas in some futuristic science fiction novel. Rather, they are on the brink of generating a shift in aviation technology.

Currently, a vast amount of research institutions and organizations are focusing on ways to improve the operation, reliability and consequently the output of PV systems. An important aspect yet to be targeted remains the procedural and standardized approach to calculate accurately the factors behind the various performance loss mechanisms, while also detecting and diagnosing potential failures at early stages or before occurrence. Identification of degradation and failure modes at preliminary stages is important as these mechanisms directly influence the performance, lifetime and reliability of PV technology.
