Arizona State University's research into solar energy reaches as far as the sun's rays through new power systems, solar energy devices, integration into communities, new materials studies and comprehensive photovoltaic solar cell testing. Led by its Global Institute of Sustainability, ASU is a national leader in solar energy research development with six major grants from the U.S. Department of Energy, five of which come from the Solar America Initiative. ASU practices what it researches with planned, campus-wide, solar installation that will make it one of the largest commitments to solar energy by a university in the United States.
