Low-power PV
The Low-power PV funding program, identified as HORIZON-CL5-2024-D3-01-02, aimed to advance the potential of photovoltaic technology for energy-autonomous applications, especially in low-light and artificial light conditions. This initiative, part of the broader Horizon Europe framework, sought innovative solutions to power sensors, smart home devices, and portable electronics by leveraging efficient PV energy harvesting. The call is now closed for applications.
Who is Funded by Low-power PV
The Low-power PV program sought to fund projects focused on developing energy-autonomous applications using advanced photovoltaic technologies. The main objective was to enhance PV capabilities for low-power and low-irradiation environments, contributing to a more sustainable and secure energy supply within the EU.
What is Funded by Low-power PV
The Low-power PV program focuses on cutting-edge renewable energy solutions, particularly in photovoltaics. Funded projects aim to validate novel PV materials and architectures for diverse low-power applications, moving innovation from research to market introduction with a strong emphasis on sustainability and circularity.
Type and Scope of Low-power PV Funding
The Low-power PV program provides grant funding structured as lump sum contributions. For the HORIZON-CL5-2024-D3-01-02 topic, an indicative budget of 6,000,000 EUR was allocated, supporting two expected grants, with each project receiving up to 3,000,000 EUR.
Conditions and Requirements for Low-power PV
Applicants and beneficiaries must adhere to comprehensive conditions outlined in the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes, covering admissibility, eligibility, financial capacity, and specific project requirements. Emphasis is placed on consortia formation and responsible technology development, including the use of Copernicus and/or Galileo/EGNOS where applicable.
Application Procedure for Low-power PV
The application process for the Low-power PV program involved a single-stage submission, with evaluation results already communicated to applicants. Detailed procedures and supporting documents are available through the Funding & Tenders Portal and associated guides.
Legal Basis of Low-power PV Funding
The Low-power PV funding program operates under the comprehensive legal framework of Horizon Europe. Key regulations and decisions, including the Horizon Europe Framework Programme and Rules for Participation, and the Specific Programme Decision, provide the foundation for its implementation.
