Operation, Performance and Maintenance of PV Systems

This program targets a wide range of legal entities across Europe and associated countries, focusing on collaborative projects to advance photovoltaic (PV) system operations and integration. The overarching goal is to enhance the performance, reliability, and flexibility of PV systems, facilitating their seamless integration into the European energy grid and boosting their profitability within the broader transition to a climate-neutral economy.

This program provides funding for innovation actions that demonstrate cutting-edge technical solutions, processes, and models designed to improve the operational performance, stability, and reliability of PV systems. It specifically supports projects that integrate novel PV technologies and designs, with a strong emphasis on digital solutions.

This Horizon Europe program offers substantial grant funding for projects aimed at advancing PV system operation, performance, and maintenance. Each awarded project receives a significant financial contribution to facilitate large-scale innovation and demonstration.

Applicants and beneficiaries must adhere to a comprehensive set of conditions and requirements outlined in the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes, covering admissibility, eligibility, financial capacity, and project implementation guidelines. Collaborative applications are highly encouraged.

The application process for this program involves a single-stage submission, where proposals are rigorously evaluated against defined criteria. Successful applicants are then guided through the grant agreement preparation phase.

The funding program is firmly rooted in the legal and official framework of Horizon Europe, deriving its authority and operational guidelines from key EU regulations and decisions.
