Strategic Analysis

This Innovation Action (IA) under the EUPI-PV Partnership targets the commercialization of tandem PV technologies, addressing critical gaps in scalability, reliability, and efficiency. The winning angle lies in demonstrating industrial readiness (TRL 7) with a clear path to market, aligning with the EU Solar PV Industry Alliance and Net-Zero Industry Act. Focus on European competitiveness, supply chain resilience, and GHG emissions reduction will resonate with evaluators.
