Welcome to UA SEN
The University of Arizona Solar Energy Network illustrates the outstanding research conducted at the university, and provides an access point and information hub linking the science and innovation to academia, industry, government, and the public to transform sustainable energy solutions. Solar energy research at the University f Arizona is pursuing innovative solutions to real-wrld energy problems by:
- Advancing solar technologies in nano-composite thin-film photovoltaics, high-concentration photovoltaics for large-scale solar farms, organic and organic-inorganic hybrid materials, and many more.
- Improving how energy is stored and distributed through innovative storage technology systems and increased efficiency in solar-integrated buildings and vehicles.
- Creating demonstration sites that combine applied energy systems and measurement with renewable energy electricity delivery and industrial collaboration.
- Developing platforms for collaboration between science and technology research and economic analysis for policy development.
UASEN connects the research and educational efforts at the university to a broader audience through sponsored events and a website.
