Looking for consortiums – Horizon Europe Cluster 5 (Photovoltaics)
About
IDEA PV Group (University of Jaén, Spain) – Horizon Europe Calls
The IDEA PV Research Group at the University of Jaén (Spain) is actively seeking to join competitive consortia for upcoming Horizon Europe (Cluster 5 – Climate, Energy and Mobility), LIFE, and regional R&D projects.
About Us & Key Expertise: With over 20 years of experience in photovoltaic characterisation, outdoor testing, and performance assessment, we evaluate emerging and established solar technologies under real operational conditions.
Specialised Lines of Action:
-
🌾 Agrivoltaics & Bifacial PV: Field benchmarking and yield optimization of bifacial technology, leveraging high albedo conditions and innovative spatial configurations suitable for dual land-use and agricultural integration.
-
🌊 Floating PV (FPV) Systems: Outdoor stability assessment, operational monitoring, and environmental impact/performance studies in water-based installations.
-
🔬 Next-Gen & Silicon Technologies: Long-term outdoor stability, benchmarking, and degradation analysis of Perovskite (and tandem), bifacial, and c-Si modules.
What We Bring to Your Consortium:
-
Outdoor Validation & Reliability: Real-world performance monitoring, accelerated degradation studies, and fault diagnostics.
-
Data Analytics & Modelling: O&M optimization, yield prediction, and degradation modelling.
-
Strategic Location & Facilities: Outdoor test fields in Southern Spain (high irradiance / high temperature testing environment) equipped with:
-
Two-axis sun trackers & high-precision spectroradiometers.
-
Continuous I-V curve tracers, pyrheliometers, and albedometers.
-
On-site high-precision meteorological stations.
-
Roles We Can Lead or Support:
-
WP/Task Leader for Field Testing, Outdoor Validation & Degradation Analysis.
-
WP/Task Leader for Agri-PV & Floating PV Performance Benchmarking and O&M Protocols.
