DESCRIPTION:SOLAR-ERA.NET is a European network of national / regional fun
 ding organisations and RTD (research and technology development) and innov
 ation programmes in the field of solar electricity generation\, i.e. photo
 voltaics (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP) / solar thermal electric
 ity (STE). SOLAR-ERA.NET is supported by the European Commission within th
 e EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation HORIZON 2020 (Cofund 
 ERA-NET Action). The SOLAR-ERA.NET Cofund 2 Joint Call topics are based on
  priorities identified in the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan resp.
  in the subsequent Implementation Plans for PV.\n\nThe SOLAR-ERA.NET Cofun
 d 2 Joint Call 2021 comprises four topics:\n\n	Advanced industrial PV tech
 nologies\n	Emerging PV technologies\n	Building and infrastructure integrat
 ed PV\n	Operation\, diagnosis\, system integration and environmental impac
 t of PV plants\n\n\nThe project consortium has to involve at least 2 partn
 ers from 2 different countries participating in the SOLAR-ERA.NET Cofund 2
  Joint  Call and  providing  funding  to  the  project selected. At 
 least one partner in the consortium has to be from industry in order to in
