SOCIAREM

(Horizon Europe)

In collaboration with an international consortium of 15 high-profile partners from 9 EU countries, combining research, technology, and community engagement to boost social acceptance of renewables and foster innovative solutions for large-scale adoption of photovoltaic (PV) systems and renewable energy communities across Europe.

The project aims to accelerate the uptake of photovoltaic (PV) systems and energy-sharing models by addressing social, regulatory, technical, and economic barriers. It will deliver innovative tools and services tested in real-world settings to simplify photovoltaic adoption for citizens, renewable energy communities, and grid managers. Gamification strategies will be explored for energy education, open-source models for energy communities, unbiased guidance tools for consumers, while engaging policymakers to streamline permitting processes and regulatory frameworks.
