Solar Power For All

SUNRISE was a global network to support a just energy transition through developing and deploying next-generation solar technologies.

Following on from the success of SUNRISE, the TEA@SUNRISE and REACH-PSM projects are continuing its ambitions to revolutionise energy access through international solar power collaborations.

About
SUNRISE

The SUNRISE network united several leading universities and industrial collaborators from across the globe to accelerate the development and adoption of solar energy technologies. The project’s Solar OASIS building in Khuded, India, uses solar power to generate, store, and release energy to be shared by the village residents.

About
TEA@SUNRISE

TEA@SUNRISE is enabling sustainable, affordable, next-generation solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies to be manufactured locally in low- and middle-income countries. The project is building an international network capable of identifying opportunities for next-generation PV to contribute to a just energy transition.

About
REACH-PSM

REACH-PSM aims to revolutionise energy access by facilitating the local manufacturing of perovskite solar modules in Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, and South Africa. The project hopes to empower communities by fostering energy independence and creating jobs, as well as setting a new standard for sustainable energy solutions.

Awards and recognition for the SUNRISE project:

Winner of International Collaboration of the Year in the Times Higher Education Awards 2020.
Winner of the Future Thinking Award in The Engineer Collaborate to Innovate Awards 2021.
Finalist in the Knowledge Exchange Awards 2021.
