Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology

Established in 1993, it is recognised internationally as a centre of excellence in its field particularly in photovoltaic systems, materials and devices, wind power and integration of renewable energy into electricity grids.

As an advanced technology course, the modules in the CREST MSc include biomass, wind, solar, water/marine and electrical integration.

The centre was initially set up through the funding of Professor Tony Marmont of Beacon Energy,[1] who remains a mentor and advisory committee member.

The Panasonic Fellowship programme is aimed at recent graduates who wish to embark on a full-time master's degree course in environmental studies or sustainable development.

The group is located in the Holywell Park area of the Loughborough campus, adjacent to the offices of the Energies Technology Institute (ETI).
