ABOUT SOLARIS
SOLARIS seeks to drive the growth and integration of PV systems across Europe and beyond by developing more efficient, reliable, and profitable operation and maintenance strategies. The project will create a comprehensive set of physical and digital tools to improve forecasting, optimise performance, and enhance maintenance, ultimately increasing solar plant efficiency and availability while reducing energy costs by 10%.
