In the FP7 call for proposal, published on 20th July 2011, our R+D team will focus on the following topics:

ENERGY.2012.2.1.1 Reliable, cost-effective, highly performing PV systems
- Development of novel photovoltaic luminescent based on multi-functional photovoltaic modules which show simplicity of installation and utilization, suitability for use in a distributed generation configuration and easiness to integrate in buildings
- Electricity storage
- Light transmission
- Protection and thermal insulation
- IEC tests (e.g. IEC61215, 61646) as well as specially designed accelerated tests
- Life cycle assessment of the innovative photovoltaic cells and technologies
- Novel module concept including energy generation
- Energy storage (e.g. supercapacitors) all low-cost deposition processes

ENERGY.2012.2.1.2 Demonstration of smart multi-functional PV modules
- Integrated energy management
- Novel concepts with supercapacitors
- Suport on IEC standard test for modeling validation
- Industrial contacts in the field
