Positions

  • First aid officer
  • Institute Director

Teaching disciplines

  • photovoltaics
  • Renewable Energy photovoltaics and solar thermal systems
  • energy efficiency in buildings
  • Introduction to renewable energy

Research fields

  • Optimization of the optical performance of solar modules
  • technology of solar glass
  • Circular Economy with a focus on photovoltaics
  • Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)
  • Bifacial photovoltaics
  • Cooperation project "Solar Roof Tile.NRW - Decentralised electricity and heat supply made in NRW"
    EFRE.NRW (1.5.2019-30.11.2022): . The aim of the project is to research the technological basis for developing and optimising the solar roof tile in such a way that it can be produced in a later mass production and used like a conventional roof tile. The solar roof tile must have numerous properties such as high efficiency, heat resistance, walkability, very long service life, recyclability and fire protection.
  • Modelling the yields of bifacial photovoltaic systems as a function of the albedo and soiling in Sub-Saharan Africa
    DFG-Project (1.12.2020-30.10.2022) in the frame of the program "solar energy 2020", the objectives of the collaboration are to offer opportunities for experts and researchers from Senegal and Germany to share their knowledge and experiences in the modelling of bifacial photovoltaic systems, particularly under the regional conditions in Sub-Saharan Africa.
  • Photovoltaics Online Teaching
    Erasmus + KA 226 (1.6.2021-30.5.2023), the PV-iTeach project was developed in order to train pre-career and continuing education PV professionals that would otherwise be unable to obtain an in-depth PV education in the absence of PV-iTeach. Additionally, the project seeks to establish an emerging hub of PV networks and professionals that will serve to connect PV stakeholders across Europe and around the world while establishing itself as a top destination for top-quality PV training and education. The PV-iTeach project will be carried out by a consortium of five European universities: the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), the Technical Hochschule Köln in Germany (TH Köln), the Fachhochschule Münster in Germany (FH Münster), Dalarna University in Sweden (DU), and the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg in Germany (Uni Freiburg).
  • My energy transition - Acceptance of technologies for the implementation of the energy transition through innovative communication formats
    BMWK project (7th Energy Research Programme, term: 1.12.2021-30.11.2024), the aim of the MEnergie project is to identify the specific information needs of key stakeholder groups (such as the Z and Y generations, property owners and citizens from the low-income sector) and to use the Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) and innovative media formats to communicate particularly suitable explanatory patterns for the energy transition in order to generate willingness and competence to act. The transdisciplinary team of TH Köln, the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy and the company partner World of VR GmbH consists of communication and social scientists, interaction designers, sustainability and transformation researchers as well as specialists in the field of renewable energies and innovative technologies such as virtual and augmented reality.
  • GSM: Green Solar Modules
    BMWK (1.6.2023 - 31.5.2026), (Fraunhofer ISE, Fraunhofer CSP, Solarwatt GmbH, Glasmanufaktur Brandenburg GmbH, Exxergy GmbH) The aim of the research project is to develop and demonstrate sustainable solar modules, manufacturing and recycling processes on a production scale that meet the planned EU regulation on eco-design and energy labelling above average. The following sustainability features will be developed: 1. recyclability and use of secondary raw materials, 2. low material and energy consumption in module production, 3. avoidance of environmentally harmful substances, 4. reparability of the solar module, 5. increasing the annual energy yield and module reliability (degradation rate, service life, failure). The material and solar module developments are evaluated holistically with a life cycle analysis.
