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.
