CEI Graduate Fellows create Products of Lasting Value, which provide them with experience in broader impact programs and products and are added to CEI’s library of materials to share with the scientific community and the broader public. Formats include videos, demonstrations, lesson plans, articles, displays, and events. Explore the full library of Products of Lasting Value below.
Videos
Video Products of Lasting Value include: technical briefings on graduate-level research, training videos about research equipment or techniques, and public awareness videos that provide context and background on topics such as the role of solar in the future energy economy; need and possibilities for various scales of energy storage; and integrating and distributing renewable energy with the power grid.
