About Black Photon Instruments
Black Photon Instruments was founded as a Spin-off from Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in July 2010 in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. The company's main office, lab and production facility is located adjacent to the historic part of Freiburg next to the University of Freiburg, the Freiburg trade center, the Fraunhofer ISE and the Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques (IPM).
It is our goal to supply advanced solar measurement technologies to the photovoltaic and solar thermal industry. Our main customers are developers, manufacturers and operators of solar power plants as well as research institutes involved in solar energy development and atmospheric research. The company is financed by private investors and has R&D contracts for sensor technology development by the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg and the German Environment Federation (Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt DBU).
