Technion Inaugurates its First Power Electronics and Renewable Energy Laboratory in Memory of SolarEdge’s Founder Guy Sella

December 6, 2022 – The Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) recently marked the opening of the Power Electronics And Renewable Energy Laboratory (PEARL), a first of its kind laboratory integrating renewable energy and power electronics as part of the studies in the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Donated by SolarEdge and dedicated to the memory of its Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Guy Sella, who passed away in 2019 and was a Technion graduate and pioneer in smart energy technology. The research laboratory is aimed at acquainting graduate students with the practicalities of climate tech. Projects and programs will surround the study of increasing efficiencies in the field of photovoltaics, e-mobility and others.

Prof. Uri Sivan, Technion President: “We have a common vision with SolarEdge and the late Guy Sella – that of sustainability and of strengthening the bonds between academia and industry and we are currently in the process of formulating a comprehensive strategic plan for sustainability. Guy Sella’s PEARL is an extremely important pillar for the Technion, the faculty and the fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering study that we lead.”

Prof. Idit Keidar, Dean of the Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering: “Our faculty has 11 renown teaching laboratories, but none were dedicated to the study of Power Electronics And Renewable Energy, until now. It is with great pride that we inaugurate the 12th laboratory and there is no doubt that SolarEdge has fulfilled an important necessity. The laboratory’s projects will promote science and engineering both locally and globally, some of which have already begun operation including joint research with the Company.”

Zivi Lando, SolarEdge CEO: “The legacy of Guy Sella lives on, not only though SolarEdge, but through the next generations of engineers who continue to develop technology to enable the advancement of renewable energy everywhere. We are very proud to contribute to the enabling of this research at the Technion in Guy’s memory.”

This laboratory is part of the partnerships between the Technion and SolarEdge, which include research grants in memory of its’ late founder, Guy Sella, scholarships in the field of energy and a biennial energy hackathon.

Technion inaugura il primo laboratorio “Power Electronics and Renewable Energy” in memoria del fondatore di SolarEdge Guy Sella

15 Dicembre, 2022 – L’Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) ha recentemente inaugurato il Power Electronics And Renewable Energy Laboratory (PEARL), un laboratorio unico nel suo genere che integra le energie rinnovabili e l’elettronica di potenza nell’ambito degli studi della Facoltà di Ingegneria Elettrica e Informatica. Frutto di un’iniziativa di SolarEdge, che lo ha finanziato, il PEARL è dedicato alla memoria di Guy Sella, fondatore, presidente e amministratore delegato dell’azienda, scomparso nel 2019, laureato al Technion e pioniere delle tecnologie smart per l’efficienza energetica. Il laboratorio di ricerca ha lo scopo di avvicinare gli studenti laureati alla pratica della tecnologia climatica. I progetti e i programmi riguarderanno lo studio dell’aumento dell’efficienza nel campo del fotovoltaico, della mobilità elettrica e di altri settori.

Prof. Uri Sivan, Presidente Technion: “Abbiamo una visione comune con SolarEdge e con il compianto Guy Sella – quella della sostenibilità e del rafforzamento dei legami tra università e industria e stiamo attualmente formulando un piano strategico per la sostenibilità. Il PEARL di Guy Sella è un pilastro estremamente importante per il Technion, per la facoltà e per i campi di studio dell’ingegneria elettrica e informatica che guidiamo”. Prof. Idit Keidar, Preside della Facoltà di Ingegneria Elettrica e Ingegneria Informatica presso USC Viterbi: “La nostra facoltà dispone di 11 rinomati laboratori didattici, ma finora nessuno era dedicato allo studio dell’Elettronica di Potenza e delle Energie Rinnovabili. È con grande orgoglio che inauguriamo il 12° laboratorio e non c’è dubbio che con questa iniziativa di SolarEdge abbia dato una risposta concreta a un’esigenza prioritaria. I progetti del laboratorio – alcuni dei quali hanno già iniziato a funzionare, compresa la ricerca congiunta tra SolarEdge e Technion – promuoveranno la scienza e l’ingegneria, sia a livello locale, sia a livello globale.”

Zivi Lando, CEO di SolarEdge: “L’eredità di Guy Sella continua a vivere, non solo attraverso SolarEdge, ma anche attraverso le prossime generazioni di ingegneri che porteranno avanti lo sviluppo di tecnologie avanzate per consentire il progresso delle energie rinnovabili ovunque. Siamo molto orgogliosi di contribuire a rendere possibile questa ricerca al Technion in memoria di Guy”.

Il nuovo laboratorio è frutto di una collaborazione e lungo termine tra Technion e SolarEdge, che comprende borse di ricerca in memoria di Guy Sella, defunto fondatore dell’azienda, borse di studio nel campo dell’energia e un hackathon biennale sull’energia.
