In an interview with Jonathan Gifford, Editor in Chief of pv magazine Global, WAVELAB's CEO Torsten Brammer explains that perovskite solar cells are capable of > 30% efficiency, which means an additional range of more than 50 kilometers, and why it is important to set uniform testing standards for solar cells in automobiles. Read the complete interview.

2021 has been another exciting year for WAVELABS. Besides many exciting projects and developments, we decided to put a higher focus on a topic, which matters most to us: Sustainability! All WAVELABS members were invited to help to make our company, our processes and our daily work more sustainable. It was amazing to see how many great ideas we collected. Switching to eco-friendly transport modes for business trips, reducing trash and implementing Ecosia as default search engine are just [...]

In just a decade WAVELABS has grown to become one of the most established names in solar metrology. Around 30% of all solar cell simulation is now accomplished using a WAVELABS device. These are good reasons for a company party and a heartfelt "thank you" to everyone who believed in and supported us: Friends and family, investors, customers, suppliers, and last but not least our employees. We could not have done it without you. It all started in September [...]

IMPULSE TALKS @ WAVELABS Performance & Safety of Solar-Electric Vehicles Livestream on November 26. 9:00 – 10:00 CET Register below for free. Solar-EVs promise autonomous charging, adding many kilometers of driving range per day. This reduces range-anxiety in drivers and makes EVs generally cheaper to own and easier to operate. At WAVELABS we believe in a 100% sustainable energy future. Making our vision a reality will require many different players in industry, science, and regulators [...]

In this whitepaper, WAVELABS investigates the challenges that VIPV may be facing. We examine how the use of our LED sun simulators can help solve some of the problems ahead. We are considering applying for patents specifically in the VIPV space. If you are interested in discussing your specific challenges, please reach out to us and we will be happy to help!

Recently, Fraunhofer CSP issued “The Categorical Table of Solar Cell Architectures”. This comprehensive overview does not only display currently common cell types, but it also gives an outlook on trending technologies. While cell architecture in the PV industry becomes more and more diverse, we can only assume which will be the winning technology in the future. Good news is: With WAVELABS devices you can measure all these different types of solar cells! With many exciting new features WAVELABS is [...]

WAVELABS and Aurora Solar Technologies announce a strategic partnership for integration and marketing of their InsightTM and LED solar simulator products. Aurora’s InsightTM is a novel product using proprietary algorithms to evaluate the large volumes of data collected by the cell tester during solar cell fabrication. The InsightTM product evaluates these data to inform the manufacturer – in real-time – how well its production equipment is performing, where problems may be occurring, or where yield might be improved. Link to [...]

When we founded WAVELABS back in 2011, we dreamed of pushing the development of the photovoltaic industry with our technical innovations. At that time, we put all our knowledge and motivation into the development of our first solar simulator, the SINUS-220. That first sale of a single tool in 2013 was monumental for us! Today we are pleased to announce that we have won a 10 GW tender in China. For comparison: The famous Hoover Dam, almost 45 kilometers [...]
