SOLVE’s overarching goal is to contribute to a sustainable expansion of solar cells in Sweden. The project is divided up into thematic areas such as: new solar power technology, building integration, improved solar cell systems, land use, economics and business models for solar cells as well as the planning of large-scale expansions of solar cells. The centre is built around a graduate school with several doctoral students with different specialisations and expertise. Collaboration, between both universities, institutions and companies as well with the public sector, is central to SOLVE’s activities.
