Solar Power For All

SUNRISE is an international project to address global energy poverty through developing next-generation solar technologies.

Led by Swansea University, the SUNRISE network unites several leading universities and industrial collaborators from the UK and Global South in a transdisciplinary research collaboration. This global network will develop and implement the technology necessary to build a minimum of five solar-powered building demonstrators in rural India. In doing so, we hope to establish an enduring collaboration and grow the capabilities of all partners.
