ERG
Energy for a green society: from sustainable harvesting to smart distribution, equipments, materials, design solutions and their applications
ABSTRACT
The project aims to design and develop a set of innovative solar cells, electronic and electromechanical components for high performance photovoltaic systems.
The growth of interest and proliferation of applications in sustainable energy have highlighted the need for further research into the development of photovoltaic cells and into the techniques employed for harvesting, storing and distributing the electricity produced. The ENIAC JU project ERG combines the expertise of leading specialists in this field with the aim of establishing European companies as world leaders. The project will improve the efficiency of solar cells, optimise the energy generated by photovoltaic systems, reduce power-converter losses and enhance energy-management strategies.
