October 2017
New instruments are installed on the Solar Platform.
Kipp & Zonen SMP10 Smart Pyranometers are used for measuring global, diffuse and in-plane total solar irradiance.

The research on photovoltaics at the Physics Department of the West University of Timisoara has begun by 2000 and experienced
an impressive development after the commissioning of the Solar Platform in 2008.
In present, the research on the Solar Platform is focused on three well defined fields:
- increasing the efficiency of solar cells
- evaluation the performance of PV systems operating under real meteorological conditions
- monitoring, estimation and forecasting of solar resources
The research group is formed by twelve members. The strength of the team stems from its diversity, being formed of researchers with very different interests: physics, mathematics, statistics, astronomy and computer science.

The main component of the Solar Platform is the Solar Radiation Monitoring Station,
the first Romanian radiometric station outfitted for systematic monitoring solar radiation on tilted surfaces.
