Our expertise for the territory
Institutes, competence centres and laboratories support organisations, companies and institutions by providing targeted services and advice for the development of tailor-made solutions to specific issues.
Results36
Analysis and monitoring of photovoltaic systems
Photovoltaic systems are built to last. However, the performance of a system indicated by the manufacturer does not always turn out to be that achieved in the actual system.
Aquatic Ecology Sector Services
The Sector Aquatic Ecology offers scientific advisory services in the field of management of lakes and watercourses.
BiPV
All applied research and innovation services dedicated to the integration of photovoltaics in architecture and construction.
Climatic / accelerated tests
The SUPSI PVLab laboratory offers numerous services to the local area.
These include a series of climatic/accelerated tests.
Conservation and Restoration
Scientific advice and diagnostics in conservation and restoration projects.
Construction diagnostics
Buildings, like construction materials and products, have their own life cycle and can therefore be considered as living organisms.
Corporate ecological footprint
The management of natural resources is a major global challenge. This challenge does not only concern international and national politics, but also every individual, entity and company.
Environmental biotechnology
The Institute offers consultancy in the optimisation and development of processes in the field of wastewater disposal and in the valorisation of waste biomass.
A range of services as part of research activities for SUPSI's scientific community.
