Solar Energy Systems

Pursuant to the scope of India-EU Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement & Reinforcing the international dimension of European research within the European Commission's Seventh Framework of Research , the 2009 India-EU Call on Solar Energy System will facilitate India-EU Project mode partnerships supported by two-way mobility of researchers with a view to :

• Catalyzing emergence of solar power as an economically viable, commercially attractive, environment friendly and sustainable energy option;
• Advancing the transition to clean energy technologies (such conversion of solar radiation into electricity using ST,CSP/SPV) ) that are sustainable, affordable ,add to energy security and have no adverse impact on climate;
• Building institutional tie-ups with EU partners to incubate feasibility of and/or scaling up of research, pilot scale production and creation of new knowledge with output in the form of joint patents and co-authored publications;
• Achieving cost reduction , higher efficiency & reliability of solar photovoltaic devices and systems;

Improving design ,fabrication and demonstration of innovative solar thermal power generating technology .
