NSF Grant Expands Next Generation Photovoltaics Center in Partnership with Texas A&M
The center is one of only 80 industry/university cooperative research centers supported by the NSF and is the only such center focused on solar research.
In addition to the UT Austin and Texas A&M research sites, the center includes sites at Colorado State University and Colorado School of Mines.
Research conducted by center sites is focused in four areas: photovoltaic materials, devices and manufacturing; balance of systems and photovoltaic implementation; photovoltaic integration with storage and electric vehicles; and education and societal impact of photovoltaics. The Texas A&M sites bring expertise especially in balance of systems and big data analysis.
“This is an astonishing center, with five universities, a Texas state agency, over 100 faculty members and over 300 students at the postdoctoral, doctoral, master’s and bachelor’s levels all working on solar energy research,” said Texas A&M-Central Texas Vice President for Research and Economic Development Russell Porter, a Co-director of the Texas A&M site. “And we have over 20 private companies, non-governmental organizations and government organizations providing funds to support the research. It is truly an honor to be a part of such an important, collaborative effort.”
