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