Extending the lifetime of crystalline silicon PV modules (EUPI-PV Partnership)
This program, part of the Horizon Europe framework, aims to significantly extend the lifetime of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules. It seeks to reduce degradation, increase durability and reliability, and improve the lifelong energy yield of PV systems. This initiative contributes to decreasing the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) and advances the European solar energy joint research and innovation agenda through the EUPI-PV Partnership.
