Expected Outcome:

Photovoltaic power generation is pivotal in the transition to a clean energy system and the achievement of a climate-neutral economy. To this end, it is important to enhance affordability, security of supply and sustainability of PV technologies along with further efficiency improvements. To ensure security of supply, retaining the whole value chain in EU Member States/Associated countries is essential; technology de-risking is a necessary step towards this direction. Consequently, project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:

  • Contribute towards establishing a solid European PV innovation and production base.
  • Reduce the CAPEX and OPEX in the PV solar production chain, ultimately leading to cheaper modules and lower LCOE.
  • Reinforce the sustainability of the European PV value chain building a secure, resilient, and diverse domestic energy sector industrial base.
  • Scope:

    Proposals are expected to:

    • Demonstrate alternative processes and equipment for PV manufacturing with reduced CAPEX, OPEX, energy and material consumption and implement Industry 4.0 concepts.
    • Increase the productivity and sustainability of large-scale PV manufacturing equipment and processing, for example by the enhancement of: i) throughput (e.g. wafers or roll area /time or module area/time) ii) yield (process & quality control) iii) availability (e.g. optimisation of uptime & service time) and iv) quality control.
    • Involve multidisciplinary consortia including industrial partners.

    A plan for the exploitation and dissemination of results should include a strong business case and sound exploitation strategy, as outlined in the introduction to this Destination. The exploitation plan should include preliminary plans for scalability, commercialisation, and deployment (feasibility study, business plan) indicating the possible funding sources to be potentially used (in particular the Innovation Fund).

    null

    Activities are expected to achieve TRL 7 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.

    Summary of observer report:

    "As independent Observer I was able to acquire deep insight into the call and evaluation documentation and accompanying instructions. I took part in a significant fraction of all briefings and panel meetings, had full access to the online evaluation SEP system and could both monitor the evaluation progress as well as having insight in individual evaluation and consensus reports.

    I observed a professionally orchestrated, fair, impartial, expertise-driven, and transparent evaluation exercise. The consensus reports, the ultimate outcome, meet high standards and adhere to the guidelines outlined in the guiding documents and applicable rules.

    All consensus panels were managed as equitably as possible, with effective quality control measures, inter-panel collaboration, and comprehensive final cross-checks ensuring a consistent evaluation outcome. The core principles of impartiality, fairness, and confidentiality were followed throughout the full evaluation process."

    We recently informed the applicants about the evaluation results for their proposals.

    For questions, please contact the Research Enquiry Service.
