SERC’s research and development activities in the areas of fuel cells, hydrogen, solar energy and the integration of these technologies reach back to the founding of our lab. More recently we have expanded our R&D efforts into new areas, including biomass gasification and highly efficient solid state lighting for use with off-grid power systems.

Graduate Student Research Assistants Peter Johnstone, Andrea Allen, and Doug Saucedo test photovoltaic performance of the Schatz Solar Hydrogen System.

Professor Arne Jacobson and Graduate Student Research Assistants Stephen Kullmann and Ranjit Deshmukh test white light emitting diode lamps as part of the Off-Grid Lighting project.
