Our vision is to develop an industrially facing, practical coalition for skills and workforce development to enable widespread solar implementation and net-zero in the UK through a programme of structured support for Early Career Researchers from UK Universities.

Led by Loughborough University’s Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST) the SES Network Plus team also comprises researchers in the broad field of solar from Lancaster University, Newcastle University and the University of Southampton.

The SES Network Plus is funded by the UKRI through the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Energy Programme, and is open to members from UK universities, industry, government bodies, finance and the legal profession who might be involved or interested in solar implementation and systems development.
