The SUPERGEN SuperSolar Hub started in May 2012 and has successfully formed an inclusive solar community that links research carried out by universities and industry.
Led by Loughborough University’s Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST) the Hub comprises the Universities of Bath, Cambridge, Imperial College, Liverpool, Oxford, Sheffield and Southampton. SuperSolar is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s (EPSRC) RCUK energy programme. In the summer of 2018, SuperSolar received further funding from EPSRC and became a Network+. At this time, Swansea University and the University of Warwick became core members.
Join the growing number of associate members network members.

- Training for new university and industrial PV researchers
- Organisation of events of interest to all sectors of the PV community
