Today it is more evident than ever before that energy is a vital and critical prerequisite of human life. Possibly, this fact has always been recognized by our sages, but in recent years modern life has added a sharp and anxious edge to our own realization of it.

Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU) has taken a significant step forward in establishing the School of Solar Energy, to conduct teaching and research in the technologies needed to supply energy efficiently and on an environmentally sound basis to meet the necessities of today’s life.

The School of Solar Energy provides an excellent academic and research led environment for solar energy related studies. The school has adopted a collaborative approach and is in active contact with academics and scientists involved in extensive solar energy research across the world. Research plans are based on the fact that there are possibilities of achieving excellent scientific breakthroughs in this relatively nascent field and could go a long way in addressing the energy issues of the globe in the not too distant future.

Towards this objective, School of Solar Energy plans to develop systems, components and processes in the areas of solar thermal energy, photovoltaic and related electronics, micro-energy systems, chemical energy conversion, energy storage and rational use of energy.

Work at School of Solar Energy will span the range from investigation of scientific fundamentals to applications of solar energy, including the development of production prototypes and demonstration systems.
