At Eurac Research IPV is one of the topics covered by the Photovoltaic Energy Systems research group, which experts deals with performance and reliability of photovoltaic systems, solar resources, exploitation and mitigation of variability, PV integration in electricity grids, and buildings, precisely.

Research is performed in international cooperation projects but also directly with industry partners by supporting them in product development, quality testing and dynamic simulations of photovoltaic systems. Research projects are focused on development and test of photovoltaic modules for the integration into the grid and in buildings, performance evaluation of installed photovoltaic systems, development of online tools for the performance simulation of photovoltaic systems coupled with satellite data and geographical information systems. Scientific consultancy both for private enterprises and public authorities are provided in terms of yield assessment, performance simulation and due diligences of photovoltaic systems, evaluation of building stocks for photovoltaic applications, support in the building integration of photovoltaic systems, laboratory test of photovoltaic modules. The laboratories are a contact point between scientific research and private companies.
