The center plays a unique and central role in the clean energy ecosystem, developing innovative technologies for commercialization so that people have easier access to technologies that create economic and community benefit.
Since its founding in 2008, Fraunhofer CSE has filed and licensed several patents in photovoltaic and building energy technologies, and created over 170 direct job years and hundreds of indirect jobs in the clean energy technology center. Funded by the DOE's SunShot Initiative, the center is currently leading a project to develop Plug-and-Play Photovoltaics for American Homes.
