Shaping a secure and sustainable energy future for all.
The European Green Deal directives endorse the development of new renewable energy concepts using non-toxic materials with low environmental impact and low greenhouse gas emissions. To meet this goal, RENEW-PV brings together leading and pioneering academic and industry researchers from across Europe and worldwide, targeting to pool current and stimulate further research development and deployment of emerging inorganic chalcogenide thin-film PV technologies.

The European Green Deal directives endorse the development of new renewable energy concepts using non-toxic materials with low environmental impact and low greenhouse gas emissions. To meet this goal, RENEW-PV brings together leading and pioneering academic and industry researchers from across Europe and worldwide, targeting to pool current and stimulate further research development and deployment of emerging inorganic chalcogenide thin-film PV technologies.
THE ACTION AIMS to create a research and innovation networking environment that will allow exploiting the high stability, low environmental impact, low carbon footprint, and high technological flexibility potential of emerging inorganic chalcogenide PV technologies. RENEW-PV seeks to consolidate and strengthen the emerging PV ecosystem, providing generation and exchange of knowledge, enhancing creativity and collaboration. It will deliver a portfolio of technological benchmarking to establish performance indicators defining a technological roadmap for the development of a new type of PV technology capable of producing higher power densities, and with a wider application range than traditional Si-based PV.
The challenge to overcome is to bridge the knowledge gaps between different research groups focused on materials and device modeling, thin-film materials and processes development, solar cells engineering, and material and device characterization. RENEW-PV Action will promote research excellence and foster the career development of early-career researchers and doctoral students (following the gender balance principles) through networking, training, mentoring, and integration into PV research collaborations, contributing to jobs creation and re-industrialization of Europe in a low-carbon economy and green society.
