Solar Award for SolPol

Next appreciation for SolPol: The research initiative will receive the Austrian solar award in category education and training.

The award will be presented in Bregenz Festspielhaus at the end of September.

Ten scientific partners (Kunstuniversität Linz, Universität Innsbruck, AEE – Institut für Nachhaltige Technologien, WIFO et al.) and nineteen companies (Borealis, Engel, AGRU Kunststofftechnik, GREENoneTEC Solarindustrie, Sunlumo Technology et al.) have been cooperating in the SolPol research platform since 2010. They all bank on the potential that lies in the cross-linking of solar and polymer technologies – Two industry sectors in which Austria traditionally shines with competence. The project with a budget of 14 Mio. Euro is funded by Climate and Energy Fund of the Austrian Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft (FFG).

The goals are ambitious: Functionality, durability and weight of solar components are expected to be improved by polymer materials which are used in solar thermal and photovoltaic applications. At the same time, it is aiming for reduction of costs and global implementation of the products.
