‘Heat Transition with Next Generation Solar Collectors’ - Exciting lecture at THI

How can innovative solar collectors advance the energy transition? The next lecture in the lecture series ‘Energy - Environment - Sustainability’ is dedicated to this question. On Wednesday, 4th of December 2024 at 6.30 pm, Thorsten Summ, Head of Building Energy Systems at the Institute for New Energy Systems (InES), will shed light on the latest developments in solar thermal technologies.

Experts outline the future of the energy transition (symbolic image: ChatGPT).

The presentation will focus on the next generation of insulating glass collectors, which have been specially developed for use in heating networks. Using a practical example from the flexLAC project, Summ will show how these innovative systems are already enabling efficiency gains and opening up new fields of application. Summ will not only discuss the technical fundamentals and challenges of these technologies but will also provide an outlook on the ‘STRAWBERRIES’ research project, highlighting the future of solar energy.

The event will occur in person in room G215 on the Ingolstadt campus and online via Zoom. Participation is free of charge and registration is not required. The access data can be found at www.thi.de/go/ringvorlesung-umwelt. After the presentation, participants can discuss the topic with the speaker and ask their own questions.

The lecture series at THI is a popular format that combines science and practice. Experts present current topics relating to renewable energies, the environment, and sustainability. The series is organised by Professor Sabine Bschorer, Head of the Bachelor's degree course ‘Energy Systems and Renewable Energies’.
