Task 10 is the ’Let’s Do It‘ body of work targeted at building energy business solutions and creating global market opportunities for Urban- Scale PV. Task 10 participants have been very active in the first few months of the workplan. A workshop for Italian architects, planners and other stakeholders was held in Florence in October. Presentations from the event, ’Integrazione di Sistemi Fotovoltaici nelle Aree Urbane’ can be downloaded from the conference organizers website www.etaflorence.it.

The next workshop, targeted at the Portuguese construction industry, is under preparation. ‘Photovoltaics in Buildings: Opportunities for Building Product Differentiation’, will be held in Portugal on March 16, 2005. Work is also underway on a number of early deliverables. Four reports covering ‘Mass Market Solar Builders’, ‘Urban Planning’, ‘Task 10 Best Practice Case Studies’ and a sociological study on ‘PV Value Analysis’ are expected to be completed early in 2005. A new online resource presenting the work and outputs from Task 10 is under construction and will be accessible via the PVPS main website.
