Welcome to
Reiner Lemoine Institute
Reiner Lemoine was a pioneer of renewable energy. While others were thinking and talking about alternative forms of energy, Reiner Lemoine took the lead and founded the solar companies SOLON and Q-Cells, amongst others. It was in this spirit that the Reiner Lemoine Institute was established. The goal of the institute is to scientifically support the long-term transition of the energy supply to 100% renewables. The institute’s basic funding is provided by Reiner Lemoine-Stiftung.
Research Units
Transformation of
Energy Systems
We analyze and optimize future scenarios with an energy supply largely based on renewable energy sources.
Mobility with
Renewable Energies
We analyze sustainable mobility concepts through sophisticated implementation and optimization of renewable energy systems.
Off-Grid
Systems
We support the development of sustainable energy supply for remote regions.
Fields of Competence
Project Management
We provide the necessary expertise for designing and acquiring new projects as well as executing and utilizing both publicly and privately funded projects focusing on renewable energy systems.
Data
We derive reliable results based on well validated input data. To guarantee that we can generate, validate, process, and structure data on many different ways.
Simulation
Using self-developed simulation tools we model and optimize electricity and heat supply systems as well as mobility systems.
Analysis
Through our interdisciplinary approach we conduct analyses from different perspectives and consider cross-sectoral contexts.
Application
We bring theoretic insights into real-life applications and reflect practical experience back into our simulations and research projects.
