EU Commission awards funding to our organization for solar technology development project
Sono Group N.V., a pioneering leader in solar mobility solutions, is making significant strides in the development and application of its proprietary solar technology. The company's mission is to accelerate the revolution of mobility by making every vehicle solar.
Funding for Solar Technology Development
Recently, Sono Group secured €1.46 million in funding from the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) for the development of its proprietary solar technology. These funds will cover a substantial part of the investments up to pre-series production of the solar electric vehicle Sion in 2023. Additionally, the company has received payment commitments from its Community and other sources worth approximately €45 million, with the first installment of €532,441 already received during its ongoing #savesion campaign.
The SEAMLESS-PV Project
The SEAMLESS-PV project, granted by the EU Commission, aims to develop automated photovoltaic manufacturing equipment over four years. Sono Group's involvement in this project aligns with its business focus on solar mobility and proprietary solar technology applications.
While specific details about Sono Group's role in the SEAMLESS-PV project have not been disclosed, the project's focus on innovative photovoltaic technologies is in line with Sono Group's business. The company's proprietary solar technology involves integrating solar cells directly into vehicle surfaces to create energy-harvesting electric vehicles, thereby enhancing range and sustainability through solar energy capture.
Market Traction and Future Plans
At investor events, such as the Emerging Growth Conference in July 2025, Sono Group has been highlighting its growing market traction and possibly elaborating on project developments and business expansion. The company is expected to continue developing and scaling its solar-integrated mobility solutions, potentially expanding the adoption of its solar technology in electric vehicles and related mobility sectors.
However, exact future project milestones for SEAMLESS-PV or enhancements in Sono Group’s solar technology have not been publicly detailed in the current search results.
