The first event titled "Addressing the core challenges of PV R&I in Europe" was a great success and offered the opportunity for ETIP PV Chair Rutger Schlatmann and the leaders of the five working groups to go through the different roadmaps of The Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda for PV.
 

During the second ETIP PV session "How to scale-up Integrated PV applications in Europe.", the experts of the ETIP PV Integrated PV working group exchanged views on how to overcome the challenges faced by the different integrated PV innovations in large scale development.

A German Information Platform for Renewable Energy Communities has now been developed, an online offer for all those who either want to establish a new energy community or further develop the existing communities. The platform is available at https://erneuerbare-energie-gemeinschaften.de/. For interested persons and also for municipalities that are committed to the establishment and further development of energy communities, it offers inspiration through existing examples, information on legal and financial frameworks, tools to develop and calculate projects, communication aids to attract members and suggestions to become active.
The platform was created as part of the EU project SHARES by the German partner organisations WIP Renewable Energies, B.&S.U. Beratungs & Service Gesellschaft Umwelt and Deutscher Genossenschafts- und Raiffeisenverband e.V. SHARES is an EU-funded project that supports so-called local heroes in initiating or expanding their energy community.
