This project proposal has been conceived and prepared by a group of 8 partners, 6 research
organisations and two companies, with an extensive track record of research activities in the field of
photovoltaics. All of them have participated in the definition of the R&I priorities of the PV sector in the
Italian contribution to the PV Implementation Plan of the SET Plan, and in the follow-up activities supported by the Horizon2020 Project “PV IMPACT”. The low-TRL research activities included in this project are part of a coordinated effort to support the development of a new energy value chain based on diffused generation of solar electricity in the built environment. The focus of the first 5 WPs of the project is on materials whose fundamental properties are key to address specific functions of integrated PV cells and modules: transparency (WP1), flexible integration in architectural components (WP2), colour and aesthetics (WP3),high efficiency (WP4), intelligent energy management (WP5).The high-level strategic objective of this project is to serve as springboard for the establishment of a long-term national strategic partnership of the PV R&I community.
