Expected Outcome:Photovoltaic products are considered to be building-integrated, if they have been designed following the basic requirements for construction works in order to form and/or replace a construction product. If the integrated PV product is dismounted, it would have to be replaced by an appropriate conventional construction product. Building and infrastructure integrated PV can be a cost-effective, technologically proven solution to decarbonise buildings and infrastructure.
Consequently, project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
Demonstrate economic and sustainable integration of PV products in the built environment and in infrastructure.Establish enhanced structural collaborative innovation between PV companies and the (building) construction sector.Contribute to the Renovation Wave, the Mission on climate-neutral and smart Cities and the New European Bauhaus initiative. Scope:PV integration in buildings and in infrastructure unlocks a huge potential for renewable electricity generation. Integrated PV require individual solutions in order to meet multi-functional and aesthetic requirements such as y...

Consequently, project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
Demonstrate economic and sustainable integration of PV products in the built environment and in infrastructure.Establish enhanced structural collaborative innovation between PV companies and the (building) construction sector.Contribute to the Renovation Wave, the Mission on climate-neutral and smart Cities and the New European Bauhaus initiative. Scope:PV integration in buildings and in infrastructure unlocks a huge potential for renewable electricity generation. Integrated PV require individual solutions in order to meet multi-functional and aesthetic requirements such as yield-friendly colouring or modular transparency, antifouling property, structural flexibility, module lightness and flexibility, suited voltage levels, the use of and combination with (building) materials other than glass, and an overall high aesthetical value that addresses the requirements of architects and designers.
Proposals are expected to:
Demonstrate resilience against partial shading, flexibility in the interconnection of PV modules having different sizes and electrical characteristics specific optical and thermal control solutions, long service life/easy replacement, safety and simplicity of maintenance, software control for quick detection of faults, module substructures and fixing systems to enhance aesthetics and functionality of the integration and electricity yield.Decrease costs and enhance lifetime, quality, reliability and sustainability with new approaches for both PV module and BOS with the development of industrialized production of customized products and of prefabricated modular solutions, which incorporate an integrated life cycle approach.Develop energy integration and social behaviour concepts to maximize the energy matching between PV production and local buildings consumption, supported by new tools and business models to ensure their economic effectiveness.Demonstrate integration of PV design and manufacturing within the construction value chain with appropriate consideration to standards for buildings and infrastructure, as well as contribution to new and improved standards. Form alliances between all stakeholders (PV and building/construction sectors, distribution system operators, investors, owners, architects, installers) to tackle a number of educational and regulatory barriers that still hinder the development of integrated PV in buildings and in infrastructure. The goal is to promote new concepts/schemes and business models for an active role of integrated PV in renovation and construction. Demonstrations are expected to be carried out in more than one different construction typologies (residential buildings, tertiary building [hospitals, schools, public administration buildings, etc.]), or civil infrastructures (roadways, noise barriers, parking lots, bridges, etc.) and in more than one location in Europe.
A plan for the exploitation and dissemination of results should include a strong business case and sound exploitation strategy, as outlined in the introduction to this Destination. The exploitation plan should include preliminary plans for scalability, commercialisation, and deployment (feasibility study, business plan) indicating the possible funding sources to be potentially used (in particular the Innovation Fund).
Projects are expected to contribute to the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative[1] by interacting with the NEB Community, NEBLab and other relevant actions of the NEB initiative through sharing information, best practice, and, where relevant, results.

characteristics of the Proyecto
Expenses related to personnel working directly on the project are based on actual hours spent, based on company costs, and fixed ratios for certain employees, such as the company's owners.
Payments to external third parties to perform specific tasks that cannot be performed by the project beneficiaries.
They include the acquisition of equipment, amortization, material, licenses or other goods and services necessary for the execution of the project
Miscellaneous expenses such as financial costs, audit certificates or participation in events not covered by other categories
Overhead costs not directly assignable to the project (such as electricity, rent, or office space), calculated as a fixed 25% of eligible direct costs (excluding subcontracting).
