The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is transforming energy through research, development, commercialization, and deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.
At the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), we focus on creative answers to today's energy challenges. From breakthroughs in fundamental science to new clean technologies to integrated energy systems that power our lives, NREL researchers are transforming the way the nation and the world use energy.
NREL develops data sets, maps, models, tools, and software for the analysis and development of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. Many of these resources are offered publicly to support the transition to a clean energy future.
NREL maintains a chart of the highest confirmed conversion efficiencies for research cells for a range of photovoltaic technologies, plotted from 1976 to the present. Learn how NREL can help your team with certified efficiency measurements .
NREL's solar energy research covers photovoltaics, concentrating solar power, solar grid and systems integration, and market research and analysis.
NREL has pioneered many of the components and systems that have taken wind energy technologies to new heights, providing global leadership in fundamental wind energy science research, development, and validation activities.
NREL researchers actively publish their latest scientific findings and breakthroughs in technical reports, journal articles, conference papers, patents, presentations, and more. Access citations and full text, when available, in our publications database.
An NREL study shows there are multiple pathways to 100% clean electricity by 2035 that would produce significant benefits exceeding the additional power system costs.
NREL's PVWatts ® Calculator Estimates the energy production of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) energy systems throughout the world. It allows homeowners, small building owners, installers and manufacturers to easily develop estimates of the performance of potential PV installations.
The NREL Data Catalog is where descriptive information (i.e., metadata) is maintained about public data resulting from federally funded research conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researchers and analysts.
