The MoU was signed by Prof. (Dr.) Harish Hirani, Director, CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur and Dr. Arun Kumar Tripathy, Director-General, NISE.
After the astounding success of the world’s largest Solar Tree of 11.5 kWp, CSIR-CMERI intended to extend its efforts towards strengthening the renewable energy commitments.
The Institution possesses expertise in designing and developing various capacity solar artefacts for multifaceted uses ranging from fulfilling localized energy demand to boosting agricultural sector for irrigation, solar powered agro dryer, de-centralized solar cold storage, charging of battery operated agricultural machineries etc.
The expertise of CSIR-CMERI in the domain of Solar Converter and Conditioning unit & Isolated Mini Grid will also aid this collaboration.
The institute is currently working on the development of a Solar Energy based cooking system which will help in creating an energy reliant and carbon-neutral India in addition to the attempt of uplifting the livelihood of the rural sector in India.
National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE), an autonomous centre of excellence of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, on the other hand, is engaged in Solar PV/Thermal R&D, Testing, Demonstration Projects, Skill Development, Consultancy, Innovation and Incubation etc.
The Institute is equipped with advanced equipment to carry out testing and certification of different Solar PV/Thermal gadgets.
The MoU is intended to achieve the following objectives:
· Conduct joint field studies for different solar technologies.
