TwInSolar project

TwInSolar – "Improving research and innovation to achieve a massive integration of solar renewables" aims at strengthening the innovation and research capacities of the research laboratory Physics and Mathematical Engineering for Energy, the Environment and Buildings – PIMENT at the University of La Réunion, France, with a focus on the massive integration of solar energy production in La Réunion and other insular territories. Led by the University of La Réunion, the project uses a twinning approach to foster good practices and knowledge exchanges between the University of La Réunion, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, which are both internationally renowned research institutes in the field of solar energy. The participation of the Islands Commission of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR), will ensure the large dissemination of the projects’ results and its replicability, at a regional and international levels. TwInSolar is a Horizon Europe project, funded by the European Union. It will last September 2022 to August 2025 (36 months).
