THE VISIT WILL BE HELD IN ENGLISH OR DANISH
Kort beskrivelse af aktiviteten: Photovoltaic (PV) cells are solar cells used to convert sunlight into electrical energy. A new record has been set, with over 24,339 GWh of solar and wind energy produced in Denmark in 2024, contributing to around 63% of the annual electricity production. Of this, around 6% of the electrical energy came from solar panels. An average household uses around 4,000 kWh of electrical energy per year, so it can be said that 600,000 families were supplied by solar energy. Considering that many households with PV systems are combined with batteries, this means that these families can cover their daily electricity needs during sunny periods, thereby supporting electricity network companies like Norlys and Energinet.
Karakter af besøgets indhold: General overview and introduction into photovoltaics, including a tour of the laboratories and hands-on experiments with different types of solar cells. The visit could also involve a general tour in the labs of Department of Energy Technology conducted by our decentralized study advisors.
