Abstract/Summary:

---

PV deployment growth is an unmatched success story in the energy sector over recent years. However, European PV manufacturers are facing a decline in production due to competition from third countries. The fragmentation of the value chain is believed to be one of the major factors for this decrease in the competitiveness. SUPER PV is a collaborative European-funded project initiated in 2018 by 26 partners in reaction to this trend. It pursues a significant LCOE reduction for innovative PV systems based on a hybrid combination of technological innovations and data management solutions along the PV value chain. Responding to the need of evaluating proposed innovations in terms of economic feasibility and market trends, a dedicated task force, an Exploitation Team, was introduced at the beginning of the project as a main instrument for overseeing achievement of KPI’s and beyond, in the ever-changing landscape of the PV sector.
