Company Profile
The Photovoltaic Technology Laboratory is part of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Cyprus. One of the main priorities of the Department is to develop a research portfolio into the area of renewable energy sources with emphasis on solar and PV systems, harnessing thus the excellent solar resource that exists in Cyprus.
Our team at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Cyprus are delighted to announce the successful completion of the first Photovoltaics Park of its kind in Cyprus, situated at the New Campus of the University of Cyprus. Recognising the potential importance of the area of Photovoltaics for the future energy needs of Cyprus, we have instigated a collaboration with the Institute of Physical Electronics, University of Stuttgart, Germany, one of the pioneering research centres of excellence in Europe in the field of Renewable Sources of Energy and in particular in Photovoltaics and Solar Cells. The PV Park has materialised through a research project recently funded by the BMU (The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Energy) in Germany. Our team has secured the installation of a PV park worth over 200000 euro at the University and has also received further funding through the European Union and more specifically through an INTERREG program. In addition we are in the process of finalising the details for our participation in other European projects in the near future.
