Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore
SERIS is Singapore’s national institute for applied solar energy research.
VISION
The vision of SERIS is to contribute to the transformation of today's global energy system towards sustainability. This includes (i) protection of our natural life support system, (ii) eradication of energy poverty in developing countries and (iii) promotion of peace, by reducing the dependence on regionally concentrated energy resources.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of SERIS is to conduct research and development for a sustainable energy supply based on solar resources. SERIS carries out application oriented research and development and collaborates closely with industry. Use-inspired basic research is done in joint undertakings with research groups from universities and research institutes.
SERIS is globally active but focuses on South and South-East Asia, in particular Singapore. The development of solar energy technologies that are particularly suited for tropical regions is one of the main goals of the institute.
The R&D focus of SERIS is on materials, components, processes and systems for photovoltaic electricity generation and solar and energy efficient buildings.
