Improved system design for innovative PV applications (EUPI-PV Partnership)

Call UE del programma Horizon Europe (HORIZON), bando "ENERGY" (HORIZON-CL5-2026-11). Tipo di azione: HORIZON Innovation Actions. Stato: aperta. Prossima scadenza: 01/12/2026 (single-stage). Testo ufficiale (in inglese): Scope: Proposals must address only one of the two areas (agriPV or offshore/nearshore PV). They are expected to demonstrate: A comprehensive (system) modelling for an accurate and reliable energy yield assessment with comparable methodologies for biodiversity, plant-yield and quality in the case of agriPV, as well as power generation. Advanced system components and system concepts/architectures of adequate scale that minimise impact on land/sea/environment while maximizing energy output/optimising connection to the grid. Resilience and adaptation of the systems to climate change impacts (extreme events, or in the case of agriPV, changing agricultural practices and/or crops choices, etc.). Standardisation for module and structure design for these applications. Permitting process definition. System demonstrators of adequate scale (min 5 MW altogether) at different EU climate/sea zones. Achieving societal acceptance and sustainability in agriPV development requires clarity in permitting procedures, promoting energy justice principles, mitigating agronomic risks, and balancing economic development with environmental conservation (notably biodiversity). These dimensions need to be addressed holistically with the involvement of policymakers, industry…
