AI revolutionizes the solar industry: increase in efficiency and reduction in costs!

Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland - The solar industry is revolutionized dynamically - with the power of artificial intelligence (AI) at the top! Thanks to innovative AI-based management systems, the energy community can react more flexibly to the energy markets. These systems optimize self -consumption and feed the current precisely into the network when market prices are highest. Algorithms analyze consumption data, weather forecasts and network capacities in real time in order to make economically sensible decisions. The Fraunhofer ITWM emphasizes that this technology positions the community as a virtual power plant, which, depending on the need, can provide both energy and absorb, which entails an unprecedented efficiency, such as Econews reports .

Not just that management benefits! The B2B trade with photovoltaics experiences a radical change through digitization and AI. Market places help installers and wholesalers to find their way around more easily in the increasingly complex market. Frederic Drouard, CEO of the leading trading center for photovoltaics in Europe, emphasizes that the industry is more transparent today than ever. "Market places make it easier for installers and dealers to find the right products without having to fight countless individual offers." This enables significant time savings, while real-time data is provided to find the best offers.

efficiency increase through intelligent production

Another crucial aspect of the AI ​​revolution lies in the production of photovoltaic modules. AI-supported inspection systems can identify tiny material defects at an early stage, which significantly lowers the committee rate. Automated cell measurements ensure that only the most efficient solar cells are processed. In addition, “bifacial modules” - which can use sunlight from both sides - are gaining in importance through machine learning, since new cell structures can be simulated faster and converted into production. According to experts, the production costs could be reduced by up to 20 % through these progress and the efficiency of the modules could be increased by up to 15 %. Minister of Economic Affairs Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut sees a key technology in AI that strengthens the location and highlights the Selfab project, which is funded with two million euros, such as Fraunhofer reports .

With these developments, a turning point will be marked in 2025, where AI is not only a promising idea, but also an everyday reality in the solar industry.
