Currently engagement concerning Pico PV Systems increases. In order to advance the framework for project development in this field EnDev has effected various activities. One of these is a test series for Pico PV Systems. It is divided into three phases:
1. Technical Test I
2. Technical Test II
3. Field Tests
The technical tests are performed by Fraunhofer Gesellschaft FhG/ISE in Freiburg, Germany. In the first test phase (2007/ 10 - 2008/ 01) twelve systems were tested on road capability with special focus on mechanical stability, lighting characteristics and operability. These systems were in detail:
Seven solar lanterns reached the second testing stage, of which four are German-made: the Solux LED 100 and Solux LED 50 of the Solux e.V. development assistance project, the Solar 2007-1 by the Freilassing solar promotion project, and the sun x-set mobile produced by Würth. Other lamps of the main test were the Glowstar GS7 of the British company Sollatek, the Aishwarya NEST-6543 of the Indian manufacturer Noble Energy and the Mightylight 3040, also Indian made.
The SOLAR 2007-1 Lantern (Solarprojekt Freilassing e.V.)has been upgraded with new LEDs of 80 lm/W.
