NCPV Partnering Opportunities for Industry
The National Center for Photovoltaics (NCPV) provides several non-proprietary and proprietary partnering opportunities for industry researchers. We are actively pursuing new partnerships that use our NCPV resources to complement a company's in-house capabilities. We focus on collaborative research and development with industry that will have a significant impact on making photovoltaics cost-competitive with other forms of energy by 2020.
