AI Summary

The European Sunrise consortium is developing photovoltaic modules that eliminate glass by embedding solar cells into fiber‑reinforced polymer composites. This technology could produce lightweight, flexible modules that fit curved or irregular surfaces, broadening the use of integrated photovoltaics on vehicles, noise barriers, and boats. The project builds on work already validated by several partners before its launch, according to Damien Gautier of the Becquerel Institute and project coordinator Jaime Cuartero.
