Industrial scale up and circularity pathway for IPV technologies (EUPI-PV Partnership)

Proposals are expected to demonstrate

• Suitable IPV manufacturing, technically and economically innovative technologies at scale;
• Flexible IPV production pilot lines to test the 100kWp+ scale (with linked demonstration sites);
• Demonstration of recycling processes for various sizes, materials and technologies of IPV products (BIPV/IIPV, agriPV, VIPV, floating…).

Whenever the expected exploitation of project results entails developing, creating, manufacturing and marketing a product or process, or in creating and providing a service, the plan for the exploitation and dissemination of results must include a strategy for such exploitation. Proposals will present a plan for the exploitation and dissemination of results which should include a strong business case and sound exploitation strategy. 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).

This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership for Innovation in Photovoltaics (EUPI-PV). As such, projects resulting from this topic will be expected to report on the results to the European Partnership for Innovation in Photovoltaics (EUPI-PV) in support of the monitoring of its KPIs.
