Description

This European Commission call supports research and innovation actions aimed at advancing industrial processes and equipment for innovative, reliable, and scalable tandem photovoltaic (PV) technologies. The goal is to accelerate the commercialisation of competitive tandem PV technologies, contributing to the EU’s solar deployment and manufacturing targets, supporting the EU Solar PV Industry Alliance, and aiding the joint solar energy research and innovation agenda. Projects should demonstrate technologies with lifetimes comparable to silicon, higher efficiencies, large-scale engineering, and readiness for industrial deployment. A strong business case and exploitation strategy are required, including plans for scalability and commercialisation. Projects must report on key performance indicators to the European Partnership for Innovation in Photovoltaics (EUPI-PV).
