Conference: “Transport, Climate Change, and Clean Air”
21. June 2018
Kick-Off-Meeting for the GRECO Project
25. June 2018GRECO
Fostering a Next GeneRation of European Photovoltaic SoCiety through Open Science
For six specific technical goals, solutions werde developed in GRECO:
- A model for the aging of photovoltaic systems
- A repair process for old solar modules
- An irrigation system based on photovoltaics
- A highly efficient cell with the same price
- Micro-CPV-modules for building installations
- A photovoltaic heat pump
Project duration: June 2018 – May 2021

RLI was responsible for the following tasks within the project:
- Analysis of the impact of different photovoltaic technologies (building-integrated micro-CPV versus flat PV modules) in terms of costs and emissions in energy supply scenarios at local and European level
- Conception and test of an open-peer-review process for the open source models developed in the project
A summary of all GRECO project results can be found:
Partial results from the RLI work packages are also published in the paper "The influence of innovative photovoltaic technologies on urban energy systems - An energy system analysis with concentrator PV, perovskite-silicon PV and PV-powered heat pumps in comparison with state-of-the-art technologies (Haas et al., 2021)".
