EU Heroes is a European partnership project tackling barriers to the development of community owned solar PV projects.
The EU Heroes project will bring together network operators, community solar practitioners and energy specialists to develop robust models for solar energy deployment that encourage the continued growth of community solar energy.
Solar photovoltaics is one of the fastest growing forms of clean energy generation across Europe with over 100GW of installed capacity.
In many countries it has reached a scale that presents a considerable challenge to conventional centralised power generation models and requires new approaches to grid integration.
Integrating community solar into traditional electricity networks can be challenging due to the intermittent nature of solar energy.
Bringing together network operators, energy communities, potential investors and the PV market to work towards “win-win” solar PV connection solutions.
EU HEROES draws on the experience of energy communities and network operators to recommend policies that will help community solar contribute to a smart, flexible, reliable energy future
Working with network operators and renewable energy community groups to identify and develop social enterprise models that enable increased deployment of solar PV in grid-constrained areas.
Carrying out cost-benefit analysis and economic feasibility assessment of new and existing business models.
Motivating consumers to have greater ownership over their energy supply, democratising energy and investing profits back into those communities.
Providing improved business models to community groups to help them to store, utilise, aggregate and trade solar electricity locally.
