Summary:
A German research company has developed a geographical information system (GIS) enabling users to allocate high potential areas for solar panels, employing laser scanning data. The company is looking for partners to establish a joint venture or a distribution services agreement.
Description:
The GIS offered is capable of detecting how the placement of solar power devices can be optimized. It is an innovative software approach with high economic potential. There is an enormous field of application opportunities on a global scale.
Based on laser scanner data and plan view data the software provides a computer-aided analysis method to identify high potential areas for the installation of solar power devices. This approach accurately calculates the potential of any roof as a solar collector by deploying airborne surveying and mapping data. Thereby, the software incorporates numerous factors such as design, orientation, clouding of each roof, seasonal path of the sun across the sky and the shadow cast by a chimney or other roof toppings during the course of the day. The result indicates the potential energy yield within designated regions or single households.
Main customers are companies and institutions from the technical sector focusing on the production and marketing of solar panels.
In order to extend their market the German company is looking for business cooperation partners to introduce the new system to the European as well as global market.
This might be accomplished either with a joint venture in order to collaborate on specific undertakings or a distribution services agreement in order to distribute this software on new markets globally.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
Partners looked for are distributors, manufacturers and providers of photo voltaic or remote sensing technology. They should dispose of experience within their markets and be able to represent high-tech products in need of explication.
Joint venture partners should be experts in the respective area, e.g. they should collaborate with the company on specific projects in terms of the development of the system.
Ideally, the partners already have experiences on the markets and countries the company wants to enter.
