Quality Assurance for Photovoltaic
The Anhalt Photovoltaic Performance and LifetimeLaboratory (APOLLO) focuses on Photovoltaicmetrology, performance measurements, reliability, anddurability of Photovoltaic modules and systems. Weoperate an outdoor and indoor laboratory with state-ofthe-art test facilities to characterize Photovoltaic cells,modules, and system components under laboratory andreal operation conditions.
Highlights of our laboratory facility
- Class AAA LED sun simulator with two independentlight sources according to IEC standards
- Mobile LED sun simulator for field testing
- Spectrometer for time-resolved (TCSPC) and timeintegrated(Raman)
- High-precision meteorological equipment for on-sitemeasurement of environmental parameters
- Energy yield measurements of single PV moduleswith I-V tracer in different applications (open rack orfacade)
- Energy yield measurements of grid-connected MonoandBifacial PV systems
- AgriPVplus demonstrator with vertical east/westmounted Bifacial PV modules
Collaboration
APOLLO is part of the TruePowerTM Alliance, foundingmember of PhotoVoltaic Collaborative to AdvanceMulticlimate Performance Energy Research (PV CAMPER),and founder of the AgriPVplus Network.As your partner in national and international research orindustrial projects, we offer the development and testingof new PV module technologies and components. If youare looking for an academic partner for funding projectsor looking for a reliable test facility for PV prototypesor independent third-party testing, please feel free to contact us.Contact

A multifunctional land-use Approach
Agrivoltaic (AgriPV) involves the use of land both for agriculture and solar energy generation. Such dual systems have been developed in recent years. However, their potential to contribute to biodiversity and ecosystem services restoration has been rarely discussed. The network aims to investigate an innovative and sustainable triple-use approach, called the AgriPVplus system, that combines crop production, solar energy generation, and restoration of biodiversity. This approach enables, e.g., improving species diversity in intensively used agricultural areas or restoring degraded soil, resolving land-use conflicts, and fostering socioeconomic benefits.
Objectives of the network are
building an interdisciplinary research group of ecological, photovoltaic, and agricultural scientists
forming a cross-sector collaboration between science, the solar industry, farmers, and relevant stakeholders
developing joint projects of international relevance
demonstrating the application of well-tested restoration methods for the triple-use approach of AgriPVplus
systems and research of its effects and synergies
supporting the European Union´s 2030 Biodiversity Strategy and 2050 climate neutrality goal.Membership Requirements
The Network AgriPVplus welcomes new members and is open to scientists and all relevant stakeholders from restoration, agriculture, and photovoltaics. Each member must agree to support the network through active contributions.
