About IKS Photovoltaik
IKS Photovoltaik GmbH is an internationally active company in the field of renewable energies, headquartered in Kassel. The company develops, manufactures and distributes training and experiment systems for photovoltaics, wind energy, hydrogen and fuel cell technology as well as energy efficiency, which are used worldwide in schools, technical colleges, universities and in vocational education and training. A second pillar is measurement and testing technology, including solar radiation sensors, PV display systems such as VisiKid and measuring instrument cases for energy consulting and the skilled trades. Another business area is customer-specific developments: measuring instruments, measuring instrument cases, prototypes and small series as well as product customization, including combinations of electrical, electronic and mechanical components. Production takes place in networks with freelancers and partner companies. Close cooperatives exist with the University of Kassel, Fraunhofer IWES and the Renewables Academy (RENAC). The IKS experts have been active in the field of renewable energies since 1985 and are regarded as pioneers of the industry.
