Pico PV Systems
Currently engagement concerning Pico PV Systems increases. In order to advance the framework for project development in this field EnDev has effected various activities. One of these is a test series for Pico PV Systems. It is divided into three phases:
1. Technical Test I
2. Technical Test II
3. Field Tests
Technical Test I
The technical tests are performed by Fraunhofer Gesellschaft FhG/ISE in Freiburg, Germany. In the first test phase (2007/ 10 - 2008/ 01) eleven systems were tested on road capability with special focus on mechanical stability, lighting characteristics and operability. These systems were in detail:
- GL9000SW, Global Marketing Technologies Inc. (US) --> overall picture bad
- MS01, Macro-Solar Technology Co,. Ltd (China) --> overall picture very bad
- Solar 2007-1, Solarprojekt-Freilassing e.v. (Germany) --> overall picture good
- Mightylight, Cosmos Ignite Innovations (India) --> overall picture good
- AISHWARYA, Noble energy Solar Technologies Ltd. (?) --> overall picture middle
- Solar Home System, "Afghanistan" --> overall picture very bad
- 2212SL Wuara, SolEnergy Africa (PTY) Ltd (South Africa) --> overall picture very bad
