Photovoltaic Thermal for Europe
PVT4EU Project at a glance
PVT4EU is a research project that aims to develop two innovative PVT collectors that could be an efficient and cost-effective solution for domestic heating and cooling demand and low—to medium-temperature industrial processes (20℃-140℃). The Consortium comprises six partners from Sweden, Denmark, and Portugal.
This project has received funding from the CETPartnership Joint Call 2022 Program under the grant agreement No.Cetp-2022-00403.
Strategic objective
Assess the potential applications and impacts (technical, social, and environmental) of the PVT technologies to be developed, disseminate the results, and establish a solid long-term dependable European innovation plan.
Aim
The PVT4EU project aims to advance technology and validate it through experimental testing, focusing on two main innovations: the Solarpeak PVT (PVT-SP) collector for building applications, and the MG-Solarus PVT (PVT-SOL) collector for domestic and industrial use in medium-low temperature environments. The project emphasizes eco-design and evaluates economic, environmental, and social impacts to enhance deployment, standardization, and certification amid growing regulatory demands.
Consortium
The PVT4EU project has a strong and compact consortium including universities, research institutes, and SMEs with a compelling background in state-of-the-art PV cell technologies development, PVT collectors manufacturing thermal, electrical, and optical development, modeling, prototyping, and technological impact assessment.
