Although solar energy has been put into use in our daily life, it cannot be popularized on a large scale because of its low conversion efficiency and high price. Therefore, further research on solar energy has also received more research funds. Among them, photoelectric materials and electronic photoacoustic photovoltaic are one of the research fields. Take Tufts University as an example, the Department of Electronics has introduced new professors in this field. Students majoring in solar energy are doing well, especially in the solar-rich areas in the midwest of the United States. For example, New Mexico and Arizona have large solar energy research centers. In the northern United States, such as Boston, there are also many companies engaged in solar energy development. There are solar energy research centers in Delaray University, Arizona State University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Pennsylvania State University, California Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University and other universities.

Europe (especially Germany), Israel and Japan have received strong support from the government in solar energy development, so their strength is also very strong. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado is the first solar energy research center in the United States.

Wind power generation is also a major development trend. Among them, the University of North Carolina is the strongest. Germany and Denmark are in the forefront of wind power generation technology in the world.

2. Fuel Cell-Department of Chemistry, Department of Chemical Engineering, Department of Materials and Department of Environment

Fuel cell is obviously the research hotspot at present. At the annual meetings of american physical society, Chemical Society and Materials Society, the research progress of fuel cells can be seen everywhere. After Copenhagen, technological innovation and industrialization in this field will be strengthened.

The National Fuel Cell Research Center (NFCRC) at the University of California, Irvine is the most famous fuel cell research center in the United States. The Connecticut Global Fuel Cell Center of the University of Connecticut also has abundant funds and scientific research. In addition, Kettering University in Michigan, case western reserve university in Ohio, Stark State College and the Fuel Cell Research Center of the University of South Carolina. This research center of the University of South Carolina is the only fuel cell research center funded by the National Natural Fund of the United States.

In addition to the United States, fuel cell technology in Canada, Germany, Japan and Britain has also developed rapidly. For example, Imperial College London, Birmingham University, Nottingham University, Oxford University, Stuttgart University, Ruhr University-Bochum, university of duisburg-essen, Miyazaki University, Yamanashi, Nakagawa College, McMaster University in Canada, Royal Canadian Military Academy and Victoria University in Waterloo, Canada. Honda in Japan and Audi in Germany have their own fuel cell research and development departments.
