ABOUT SOLAR ENGINEERING
Department of Solar Energy was introduced in the year of 2009 (the then School of Solar Energy) and became part of School of Technology in 2014. Along with the coexistence of the centre of excellence, Solar Research & Development Center it has been offering M.Tech in Energy Systems (focused on Solar) and Ph.D programmes in various fundamental and applied aspects of solar energy materials and devices. This is only full time post graduate degree in Solar energy technologies in India. PDEU is also the only University in Asian continent offering opportunity of study and carrying out cutting edge training and research in its own 1MWp Solar PV power plant monitored by SRDC. The department offers hands on training and exposures in PV design, integration, commissioning and troubleshooting. Almost all leading solar industries in India has been offering full project internships with prospective job opportunities to the M.Tech students.
SRDC, the center of excellence dedicated to cutting edge research and development is equipped with advanced research laboratories for energy materials and devices, including energy storage and fuel-cells with substantial funding from Govt. of Gujarat (GEDA and others) and GoI (MNRE, DST, DRDO etc). It offers advanced computational facilities as well for project design and properties prediction for new solar energy materials.
It is worth mentioning that there has been 100% placement in M.Tech (81 graduated since 2010)through industry linked projects, entrepreneurs, start-up companies and MS programmes in Universities abroad. The average number of journal (Thomson-Reuter classified) publication per PhD in the department is 5 with an average impact factor of 3. The PhD graduates (14 graduated since 2015) are full time post-doctoral fellows and faculty members in India and abroad.
A number of research activities have brought very promising outcome in terms of efficiency boost in existing photo-voltaic technologies, cost effective materials and processes to prepare them for the solar energy devices (including, solar cells, photo-electro chemical cells, photo-electrodes for clean fuel generation), energy storage devices (including next generation secondary batteries and super capacitors) and fuel-cells.
Glimpses of few remarkable research results which have been published in renowned journals, such as Journal of Applied Physics (American Institute of Physics), Journal of Physical Chemistry C (American Chemical Society or ACS), ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces etc. Some of them are also patented with Indian Patent Office.

History
The School of Solar Energy was established as a constituent school at Pandit Deendayal Energy University in October 2009. During the maiden convocation of PDEU in May 2009, the Chief Guest, former President of India Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, spoke about the challenges and opportunities in the energy sector, with special reference to renewable sources of energy. He stressed the need for renewable energy to achieve energy independence and strengthen the rural economy, and urged students to play a leading role in fighting the energy crisis.
Given the dangers of climate change caused by global warming, a cost-effective technique for harnessing and utilizing solar energy would be the greatest possible gift that scientists and engineers can bestow to mankind.
Solar energy industry in India is at present in a nascent stage, but indications are that it will grow at a fast pace in the coming years. The recently announced National Solar Mission envisages that, by the year 2022, the country will generate 20,000 MW of solar energy, and will require 100,000 trained and specialized persons for R & D, engineering, and management. Faculty and students at SSE would like to contribute in achieving and exceeding the goals set out in the National Solar Mission.

Message from HOD
It gives me immense pleasure to represent Department of Solar Energy (DSE), PDEU in the time when our country, the society and the humanity globally needs the best possible way to harvest the terrestrial solar energy.Looking at the projected rate of growth of the nation in the solar energy front, the importance of education and research in the field of Solar Photo-voltaic and Solar Thermal Energy technologies have gained tremendous importance in recent time. However, the obvious question that echoes our mind is the required quality of such education and research that can make immediate impact to the national mission (Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission or JNNSM) , which sets a target of 100 GW of solar energy in India by 2022, in which more than 80 GW will be produced in decentralized (40 and 30 GW from rooftop and remote locations, respectively).The department with a parallel identity of Solar Research & Development Center (SRDC) provides a platform to the students to nurture their thought and ideas on the solar energy technologies by a well-balanced curriculum which is enriched by both theoretically and experimentally at the M.Tech.and Ph.D. level. In order to accomplish its target in the research front, the department of solar energy has established ten labs for synthesis, characterization and fabrication ofvarious solar energy conversion and storage devices. The focused areas of research include both fundamental material aspects and ultra-modern device fabrication techniques. Besides fundamental studies at the device level for energy conversion and storage, the postgraduate students of the department are engaged in hands-on practice on the EPC and O & M of large scale SPV power plant as well as small scale roof-top systems. The establishment of 1 MW multi-technology SPV power plant gives the post graduate students an extra edge to be directly deployable in the solar as well as allied industries and renowned institutions. The research output of the last few years has attracted tremendous international recognitions signifying both the level and quality. The post graduate program has been appreciated by the major industrial players nationally and internationally. I cordially invite all the valued channel partners to be a part of the excellence of education and research of DSE & SRDCat PDEU and utilize its enormous resource for making the solar energy initiative a grand success!
