On May 5th, ISFOC travelled to CENER's facilities in Pamplona to attend the second coordination meeting of the project “CEramic and COmposites Materials for PhotoVoltaic devices - CECOM4PV”. This project is coordinated by CENER, and ISFOC also participates by contributing its knowledge and experience in photovoltaic developments. The project's goal is to integrate photovoltaic technology, solar cells, into traditional construction materials, such as ceramic-based and composite materials used in building envelopes. These new BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) products incorporate the generation of electrical energy into traditionally passive surfaces, contributing to the development of nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB).

In this meeting, the developments and results of the work carried out to date were shared, which are meeting the expectations and objectives initially set. After the working meeting, a technical visit to the CENER (National Renewable Energy Centre) facilities and laboratories was conducted.

The project consortium consists of the Instituto de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos de Concentración (ISFOC), the Centro Nacional de Energías Renovables (CENER), NOTIO – CTAC, and San Javier Bricks.

The project is funded under the Public-Private Collaboration Projects 2021 program of the State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023 (CPP2021-008637), and Next Generation EU funds. It has a duration of 36 months, extending until 2025, with a total fundable budget of €882,857.16.
