Project description
Incubating the European strategic implementation plan for photovoltaics
The European Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan is focused on accelerating the deployment of green technologies to meet Europe’s ambitious goals for a climate-neutral energy system. Solar energy and photovoltaics will play a key role in this context, and the European solar market is booming. The European Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics (ETIP PV) brings together PV stakeholders to discuss the status of research and innovation (R&I) including their common interests and challenges. The EU-funded ETIP PV - SEC II project is coordinating the activities of the ETIP PV with the key aim of supporting the development of the strategic R&I PV Implementation Plan to turn ideas into reality.
Objective
The European Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics (ETIP PV) gathers all the relevant stakeholders of the PV sector, with arrangements for cooperative discussions with member states, associated countries, and the Commission services allowing stakeholders to meet, agree on their common interests, analyse the issues facing them in progressing R&I, interact with other groups, and determine their contribution to, and input for, the SET Plan. ETIP PV has supported SET Plan activities focused on raising the profile of PV or on helping policymakers to craft legislation or tailor research programmes to optimally support it. In 2018 onwards ETIP PV will continue to support the execution/realisation of the SET Plan Implementation Plan prepared by the SET Plan Temporary Working Group for PV (TWG PV). The ETIP PV – SEC II action aims to assist the mission of the ETIP PV. The proposal addresses the coordination of the ETIP PV' activities, especially towards the progress of the strategic R&I PV Implementation Plan.
