My internship at the Fraunhofer CSE was a very rewarding experience both personally and professionally. The breadth of the applied research and development helped me better understand the PV industry, and informed my decision to attend graduate school. In addition, the friendly team and international culture made working there enjoyable. I think it is an excellent internship for anyone looking to gain knowledge and experience in the PV industry.
