Our mission

Advancing photovoltaic science for a sustainable world

Driving the future of solar innovation

At IES, our mission is to drive innovation and excellence in photovoltaic solar energy research, education, and technology development. We are dedicated to advancing photovoltaic science, by working in three key areas of focus:

  • To implement better PV, by helping industry to minimize the cost and environmental impact of current PV technology while maximizing the social value and benefits of its use
  • To promote more PV, by devising innovative applications,concepts and strategies to increase the penetration of photovoltaic electricity
  • To create new PV, by pioneering the next generation of photovoltaic products, exploring their technical and economic feasibility

Through cutting-edge research, state-of-the-art facilities, and a commitment to solar education and training, at IES we aim to contribute to a faster transition to a clean energy future.
