Isofoton’s R&D department currently has three main active research streams: PV generation in urban environments; PV systems for pumping, treating and distributing water; and solar trackers, which track the sun to keep PV modules in the best position for maximum energy absorption. In addition to its internal R&D, Isofoton also works in collaboration with universities and research centers. In 2010, it had six major collaborative research programs focusing on different subsets of PV technologies and development processes. All of the company’s R&D streams have one common goal of innovating technologies that take better advantage of the sun’s energy.
