Members of the CPVH Project international consortium attended the EPoSS Annual Forum 2026 in Braga (Portugal). The event, held from 16 to 19 June, 2026 and organised by INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, brought together representatives from European institutions, local authorities and businesses in an atmosphere of strategic knowledge-sharing and the development of new ideas related to smart systems.

As part of this initiative, a scientific poster on the CPVH was presented with the theme «Embedded Microsensing Solutions for Smart Monitoring of Photovoltaic Cells in Energy Generation Systems», highlighting technical advances in smart monitoring of photovoltaic cells in energy generation systems. It was an excellent opportunity to disseminate the Project’s main objectives and technological advances.

The CPVH focuses on developing innovative solar modules that enable simultaneous electricity and heat production. By integrating smart technologies into building façades, the Project aims to contribute to urban decarbonisation and strengthen energy self-sufficiency. 

Led by the Portuguese company Castros - Iluminações Festivas, it benefits from the expertise of CeNTI and the companies Matglow (Portugal) and Solaires (Canada).

The CPVH Project is supported by COMPETE 2030, Portugal 2030, and the European Union. European Funds closer to you.
