The Center for Revolutionary Solar Photoconversion (CRSP) is a research center of the Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory. The Collaboratory is a unique research partnership that allows companies and other organizations to become members of its research centers and access the research capabilities of four world-class research institutions: National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Colorado State University, University of Colorado at Boulder, and Colorado School of Mines.

CRSP is dedicated to the basic and applied research necessary to create revolutionary new solar energy technologies, as well as education and training opportunities. The research underpins highly improved future renewable energy technologies, commonly called "third-generation solar photon conversion," that exhibit highly efficient and low-cost production of both fuels and electricity via direct solar-conversion processes.

Membership in CRSP allows companies and research institutions to learn about and participate in solar photoconversion science and technology advances.

Learn more about becoming a member of CRSP by visiting Membership.

Research institutions that are interested in becoming an Affiliate Research Institution should contact the CRSP Managing Director.
