According to the institute, the centre of excellence for renewable energy will offer specific courses and programs, which will be designed to upskill the available workforce resources.
With the help of this collaboration, IIT Jodhpur Technology Park will become an important manufacturing hub, providing consistent industry exposure to the students, professionals, and other stakeholders.
Advanced electronics, Remote monitoring, Trackers and inverters, Automatic cleaning systems, Solar, thermal and wind-solar, Interventions in solar panel technologies, Research on polysilicon and entire value-chain, and AI and deep learning are some of the focus areas of the research in the IIT Jodhpur and Rajasthan Solar Association.
