High-performance coatings for effective use and storage of solar energy
Ensuring a climate-neutral energy supply is one of the greatest challenges of our time. A huge energy supplier is available as an alternative to fossil fuels: the sun.
Vacuum technologies developed by the Fraunhofer FEP are used to deposit layers and layer systems serving the exploitation of solar energy and the storage of heat on an industrial scale, contributing to the increased use of this important energy source.
The focus is on the development of efficient coatings for storage systems in order to be able to use solar-generated energy variably over time. There is particular interest in these coating systems among developers of novel storage materials with a focus on maximising storage capacity.
