Be-Smart Project

the european union has set ambitious climate and energy goals within the implementation plan of the cop21 framework and 20/20/20 targets. to contribute to this energy turnaround, building-integrated photovoltaics (bipv) will undoubtedly play an important role especially in cities and urban areas. the widespread deployment of bipv could potentially lead to an increase in the area available for harvesting solar energy in densely populated countries, with an estimated 22% potential in europe for global electricity share. the mission of our unique and multi-disciplinary consortium is to significantly contribute to the implementation of a stronger european industrial sector in the field of solar energy and demonstrate new cost-effective bipv product concepts with high quality architectural design.
