1 HERACLES – High-End Reference Apparatus for Calibration of Light-Engine solar Simulator (ARAMIS_ID = 58921)
Project duration: 2025-12-01 to 2026-11-30
Project execution: CSEM / Pasan
Project type: Research & Development
Funding agency: Innosuisse (CHF: 135'800)
Abstract
The HERACLES Project aims at developing the next generation of photovoltaic reference apparatus. These novel devices will encompass state-of-the-art PV technologies providing an efficient and reliable way to perform calibration of solar simulators.
2 Market-ready carbon inks for the solar and electronics industry (ARAMIS_ID = 58928)
Project duration: 2025-11-03 to 2027-11-02
Project execution: GraphEnergyTech Sàrl / EPFL
Project type: Research & Development
Funding agency: Innosuisse (CHF: 656'714)
Abstract
Perovskite photovoltaics are nearing commercialization but need durable solutions. We develop graphene-based contacts for stable, scalable modules and extend this platform to energy storage and printed electronics, creating new market opportunities.
3 OptiChromi solar panels: introducing advanced inkjet technology to fabricate colorful and efficient building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) (ARAMIS_ID = 58095)
Project duration: 2025-09-01 to 2028-02-29
Project execution: MEGASOL ENERGIE AG / Gugler Gilbert HEIA-FR - Haute école d'ingénierie et d'architecture
Project type: Research & Development
Funding agency: Innosuisse (CHF: 686'388)
Abstract
In building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), coloring techniques like sputter coating or ceramic pigment printing enhance solar panel aesthetics, but have many limitations. OptiChromi solves these limits by inkjet-printing photonic structures for customizable, colorful and energy efficient PV panels
4 Multi-model forecasting engine for PV production and load in active distribution grids (ARAMIS_ID = 58025)
Project duration: 2025-05-01 to 2027-02-28
Project execution: CEEX AG / FHNW / HSLU / HESSO-VS
Project type: Research & Development
Funding agency: Innosuisse (CHF: 457'215)
Abstract
We develop a forecasting engine for PV production and load, leveraging advanced algorithms with comprehensive data. The engine significantly increases forecast accuracy, drastically reducing the costs of ancillary services for DSOs. These costs surge due to rapid PV growth and weather volatility.
5 Automated High-Precision Planning of Photovoltaic Systems (ARAMIS_ID = 57951)
Project duration: 2025-04-01 to 2027-03-31
Project execution: Melchior Martin FHNW / enshift AG
Project type: Research & Development
Funding agency: Innosuisse (CHF: 468'520)
Abstract
This innovation project aims to develop an AI-powered software solution that enables the automated layout planning of optimal solar systems. The solution uses multidimensional building data in combination with high-resolution imagery.
6 Sandwich PV for PV systems on exposed sites (ARAMIS_ID = 56287)
Project duration: 2024-10-01 to 2027-07-31
Project execution: SPF / REG.LAS Schweiz AG
Project type: Research & Development
Funding agency: Innosuisse (CHF: 485'456)
Abstract
Sandwich PV enables affordable, high-quality PV systems in exposed locations. The innovative system enables high winter power yields, thereby making a significant contribution to a secure power supply during the winter months.
