Business angels play a crucial role in funding, coaching and supporting their development. This action aims to strengthen the innovation and investment ecosystems for start-up and scale-up companies in the EU in view of their development and growth, chiefly by supporting angel investors and their syndicates.

This action aims at developing standardised (pre-normative) methods relevant to eco-design and energy labelling of photovoltaics. In particular, there would be two sets of methods developed: • standardised method for the calculation and testing of the yield of bifacial photovoltaic modules; and • standardised method for the measurement and testing of the long-term degradation of the photovoltaic modules performance (some activity started with the preparation of the IEC 63209 standard). The main aspects of interest (e.g. thermal fatigue, damp heat, etc.) should be identified. The research should cover at least: • characterisation (e.g. insulation test, wet leakage current test) and stabilisation techniques to be applied; • procedure for the collection of testing samples; • definition of the testing protocols, testing sequence and, when applicable, pass criteria, related to the various aspects of interest (e.g. thermal fatigue, damp heat, etc.).

The commissioning of external experts to prepare the studies and provide a necessary support to ten European Coordinators is necessary to ensure the coherent implementations of the European Transport Corridors and the European Maritime Space (EMS).
