About
Founded in 2018, SUNRISE is a ngo headquartered in United Kingdom specializing in Solar, Energy Storage.
SUNRISE is a global solar power initiative led by Swansea University, uniting research teams from leading institutions in the UK, India, South Africa, Mexico, and Kazakhstan. The network focuses on developing and deploying low-cost, next-generation photovoltaic technologies—particularly perovskite-based solar systems—to provide affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy to remote and underserved communities. Key projects include the Solar OASIS demonstrator building in Khuded, India, completed in 2022, which generates, stores, and distributes solar energy to village residents. The project also installed solar microgrids at educational and healthcare facilities across India. SUNRISE emphasizes participatory design and community involvement, integrating social sciences with engineering research. Related ongoing initiatives include TEA@SUNRISE, which supports local manufacturing of perovskite solar modules in Africa, and REACH-PSM, which aims to revolutionize energy access through decentralized production and community empowerment.
