Planning of Swedish Contribution to Horizon Europe Proposal on PV Module Lifetime Extension

Purpose and goal

The aim is to define and strengthen Sweden’s technical role in the EU proposal on PV module lifetime extension. The project supports the design of reliability testing, validation of test sites in Nordic conditions, AI-based diagnostics and prognostics, and coordination within the European consortium.

Expected effects and result

The planning project focuses on defining Sweden’s technical role, contributing to proposal writing, organizing collaboration with international partners, and initiating groundwork for comparative field testing. The expected outcome is a high-quality Horizon Europe proposal that reinforces Sweden’s leadership in sustainable and durable solar energy, while strengthening its position in strategic European research cooperation.

Planned approach and implementation

The project defines Sweden’s role in an EU proposal on PV module lifetime extension. LTU and HDa contribute expertise in reliability analytics, PV testing in Nordic climates, and AI-based diagnostics. Activities include technical planning, EU partner collaboration, and site validation—leading to a strong Horizon Europe proposal that advances Sweden’s position in sustainable solar energy research.
