WP1 – Management (EFPL): In order to coordinate, monitor and implement the necessary measures for the achievement of Be-Smart objectives on time, within the allocated budget and according to high quality standards, the management team has implemented different actions to ensure the smooth running of the project.
WP2 – Multifunctional EPoGs (CSEM): Target colours are selected based on the survey conducted among relevant stakeholders. New colors and printing process are developed for DCP glass. Over 10 new colors are developed for Solaxess colored film technology and their extrusion and lamination process are optimized. The long-term reliability of new colors is evaluated and approved on material and mini-module levels. BiocleanTM glass provided by SGDE is evaluated for the use in multifunctional EPoGs. Different module interconnection technologies are compared for their application in EPoGs.
WP3 – Multifunctional Performance, Lifetime Reliability, Upscaling and Monitoring (IFE): Towards Validating and optimizing the bottom-up reliability of EpoG towards standardization several tests have been performed. Several models for different failure modes and factors have been developed and verified with accelerated aging tests (AAT) and relevant characterization. Planning of the monitoring system, protocols and analysis for the site demonstrators has recently been initiated and will be a focus towards demonstrator launch.
WP4 – Building Interface / rules & norms (IMRC): The first demonstration building has been constructed in Uppsala and the second one is currently in construction in Oslo.
A review of mounting systems and associated costs was conducted.
WP5 – Implementation & production / demonstration (EPLF): Several contacts with module manufacturers have been taken and modules have been order for Uppsala, Oslo and Neuchâtel demonstration buildings.
WP6 – Exploitation and Capacity Building for BIPV implementation in Europe (SIE): A complete and comprehensive report on market analysis and exploitation strategy was realized. In addition, a training programme was created (Capacity building) and accessible online through the project website.
WP7 – Dissemination and communication (COMPAZ): An artistic and energy producing exhibition “Figli del Sole” has been inaugurated in the Sicilian village of Oliveri. A 25 minutes movie has been relaized to present and explain the Be-Smart project objectives and results to a large audience. The “Watt is Art” exhibition has been exposed in the Théâtre du Passage in Neucâtel (CH) from October to December 2022. Activities of communication on social media have been realized and numerous talk and conference have been given nationally and internationally.
WP8 – Ethics (L-UP): During the periodic reporting 2 necessary ethics requirements and reporting were produced and updated.
