Solar electricity research centre, Sweden
SOLVE is a consortium of universities and public/private sector partners performing collaborative, needs-driven research projects aiming at rapid expansion of solar energy in the Swedish electric grid.
Vision and goals
The vision of SOLVE is to build strong partnerships between Swedish researchers and a broad base of stakeholders in the area of solar electricity - from product developers to system owners, from grid operators to regional governments.
The goals of SOLVE are to:
- Generate knowledge to promotes and sustains the growth of PV markets in Sweden
- Disseminate this knowledge across the wider network of actors in the PV area
- Foster the education of competent people with good connections to business and industry
Financing
SOLVE is one of 11 new centres of excellence supported by the Swedish Energy Agency. The activities in SOLVE are funded in equal parts by the academic partners, the public/private sector partners and by the Swedish Energy Agency. See more information on the Energy Agency's website (in Swedish)
