Solar4CE-Cities

Boosting the urban solar revolution in Central Europe

Solar4CE-Cities aims to accelerate the deployment of decentralised photovoltaic systems in cities across Central Europe. The project develops and tests tools, models and strategies to foster prosumerism, enabling citizens, businesses and public authorities to play an active role in producing, consuming and sharing solar energy.

Particular attention is given to collective models, designed to overcome the regulatory, financial, technological and social barriers that still limit the uptake of urban photovoltaics.

The objective of Solar4CE-Cities is to create an enabling environment for the uptake of solar energy in cities by combining technical and digital tools, new prosumerism models, collaboration between public authorities, grid operators and local communities, and recommendations to support policymaking. The solutions developed are translated into local strategies and action plans, with measures tailored to the specific characteristics of each city and roadmaps for the development of new collective photovoltaic projects.

The expected impact therefore goes beyond the installation of new solar systems: the project aims to empower cities and communities to play a more active role in the energy transition, increase local renewable energy production, and contribute to climate and energy security goals. At the same time, Solar4CE-Cities develops models and knowledge that can be replicated in other Central European cities, enabling the experiences tested in the pilot areas to be transferred and scaled up.

R2M Solution:

  • provides technical support to the Municipality of Udine;
  • contributes to the GIS-based assessment of the local solar potential;
  • supports the development of scenarios and business models for solar energy deployment;
  • supports the preparation of the Local Solar Action Plan.


R2M Solution also contributes to stakeholder engagement and co-creation workshops, as well as to the dissemination and exploitation of the project results.
