Urs Muntwyler is Professor for Photovoltaics and the leader of
the PV Laboratory of the Bern University of Applied Sciences.
His laboratory is active in PV system research, and in “long-term
measurements” of PV installations. Urs runs the only accredited PV inverter test bench in Switzerland. PV and architecture
is another main activity of his. He has a strong interest in the
connection between Photovoltaics and Electric Vehicles. He was
organizer of the „Tour de Sol, 1985–92“ in Switzerland, the first
solar car race in the world. Urs started three PV companies, the
first in 1985. The main company Solarcenter Muntwyler AG was
a market leader for off-grid and grid-connected PV installations
in Switzerland. Urs published “Muntwyler’s Solar Handbook”
which had 12 editions from 1988 to 2011, with over 100,000
copies printed. From 1998 to 2018 Urs was chairman of the
Technical Collaboration Programme “Hybrid- and electric vehicles” of the International Energy Agency (IEA). More details on
his present R&D activities: www.pvtest.ch.
