Solar Resources

The science of solar energy is evolving through ongoing research not only in Arizona, but across the U.S. and around the world.  Building on the collaborative efforts of governments, universities and industry partners, this research translates into technology that is more efficient, less costly and more easily deployed, thus enabling solar adoption and industry growth.
