The Solar Energy Research Institute for India and the United States (SERIIUS - http://www.seriius.org) is dedicated to creating a bi-national network of its 40 partners with members from academia, national laboratories, non-profit organizations, and industry to foster new ideas and collaborations to expedite a sustainable solar industry in the US and in India. SERIIUS is developing disruptive technologies through foundational research in sustainable photovoltaics (PV), multi-scale concentrating solar power (CSP) and coupled to an analysis activity to address the critical barriers for solar energy development in India that intersect the grand challenges for solar energy in the U.S. The consortium has published over 330 papers and conference proceedings of which 45 are joint between India and the US. SERIIUS has engaged overs 200 graduate students and had 30 binational intern exchanges.
