The Solar Energy Research Institute-or "SERI" as it is more commonly known-began operations in its interim facilities in Golden, Colorado, July 5, 1977. SERI is a direct and important contributor to the National Solar Energy Program through its research and development activities. SERI has been operating in four general roles: as planner, evaluator, performer, and manager. In all these roles, SERI strives to serve the National Solar Energy Program's' primary objective of contributing significantly to the accelerated introduction of solar energy use in the United States and abroad. Within each of SERl's programs, activities are broken down into tasks and subtasks.
