Documents, reports (5)

D3.1 Data collection infrastructure ICT and data base

D3.1 is linked with Task 3.1:Develop the data collection infrastructure and framework in PV reliability on islands and Task 3.2: Technologies deployment in PV reliability. This deliverable will describe the setting up of the Maltese data collection infrastructure and framework in PV reliability on islands, including open research policies related to and access to the platform. A profile for each test site during the programme is included.
