DLR operates various pilot facilities in order to perform research in solar energy - partly in cooperation with international partners. The objective of the solar research program at DLR contribute to the fact that 'Solar Thermal', after 'Wind', is the energy resource nearest to market readiness. Within the Institute, the Weizmann Solar Research home page provides details of the research underway at the Institute. IIE comprises four technical divisions with about 600 researchers, who carry out applied and oriented research to solve pressing problems of the electric utility and of the electric equipment manufacturing industry. Created in 1975, IIE has successfully introduced a variety of modern technologies into the operation of the Mexican electrical industry.
Solar energy is aboundant in Mexico.
Hence, a big possibility exists to apply solar thermal technologies now under development to generate electricity. It was formed 76 years ago and is one of the top 5 utilities in terms of size and sales worldwide. The Paul Scherrer Institute Research at PSI comprises all aspects of human energy use, with the ultimate goal of promoting development towards a sustainable energy supply system. The General Energy Research Department within PSI advances technologies for the utilization of renewable energy sources, low-loss energy storage, efficient conversion, and low emission energy use. The New and Renewable Energy Programme is managed on behalf of the DTI by ETSU .
