The two business divisions "Photovoltaics" and "Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage" and the division "Energy Policy and Energy Carriers" integrate the technical departments into larger research fields. The Heads of the Business Divisions are also scientific members of the Board of Directors.
The Central Division Finance, Human Resources and Legal embraces the administrative areas of Management, Public Relations, Finances, Controlling, Personnel, and Organisation and is headed by the CEO.
