A new partnership that brings together four countries, Cyprus, Germany, Switzerland, and Sweden has been launched for the implementation of a new project with the acronym "CIRCULAR-PV", which has to do with perovskite-based solar PV.

The Coordinator is the DegradationLab, a strategic infrastructure unit of the PV Technology Laboratory, which is an integral part of the FOSS Research Centre for Sustainable Energy and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Cyprus.

The total project funding is €2,086,628.06 and the funding for the University of Cyprus is €445,660.

The project consortium comprises the University of Cyprus (UCY) and other internationally-leading research institutions, namely, the University of Freiburg, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Solaronix, and Dyenamo AB.

"The project focuses on perovskite-based solar PV, in particular metal-halide perovskites, which are a combination of organic and inorganic materials that have shown potential for high performance and low production costs," a University of Cyprus press release says.

Ιn particular, it adds, the University of Cyprus will be involved in the indoor/outdoor aging tests of the developed eco-design perovskite-based devices and in the indoor characterisation of the modules before/after outdoor testing using advanced optoelectronic techniques.

The official launch date of “CIRCULAR-PV” was 1 January 2025 and the project is scheduled to run for 36 months. The kick-off meeting was held online on 20 and 24 January 2025.
