The A Building on Campus Valla is partly powered by energy from the building’s own roof. Up here, a large amount of electricity is generated annually. Which can, for example, correspond to many hours of studying on laptops. LiU together with property owners is working to continuously expand solar cell installations on our campuses.
Solar cells
Location: Campus Norrköping, Kåkenhus Building
Industrilandskapet contains many successful examples of a daring combination of old and new. The solar cells at Kåkenhus integrate new technology with traditional surroundings and contribute to a deeper experience of Industrilandskapet. The facility is used at LiU for education in solar cells and high-power electronic devices. The students can compare various types of solar panel and carry out experiments to examine, for example, angles of incidence and the effects of shadows. The facility can be used by the various research groups that are developing new types of solar panel and other ways of harvesting energy. The facility contributes to the property's energy supply and reduces the need for purchased electricity. LiU, together with property owners, works to continuously expand solar cell facilities on our campuses.
