PHOTON is the largest publisher worldwide in the field of solar electricity production.
"PHOTON International – The Solar Power Magazine" covers the solar world as no other publication does – with in-depth, independently researched articles written by our own staff of editors from around the world.
Headquartered in Germany since 1996, we are a renowned, independent magazine publisher dedicated to applying a critical approach to journalism. There is a strict separation between our editorial teams and advertising department to ensure a journalistic environment free of the influences of public relations. Our independent reporting is exactly the thing that appeals to our readers.
PHOTON’s mission is to accompany manufacturers, installers and operators of solar power plants, but also the current customers and politicians on this way: as an independent and reliable source of information, always operating according to true journalistic principles, according to the credo of the deceased journalist Hanns-Joachim Friedrichs: "A journalist does not associate with any cause, not even a good one." Accordingly, we remain critically and point out progress as well as the failures.
At PHOTON Laboratory we are constantly testing and certificating PV modules, PV inverters and other PV connectors by very high testing standards over short and long periods. Near our headquarters in Aachen Germany we are maintaining the world larges pv long-term outdoor test field in the world.
