The Renewable Energy Research Lab or RERL (previously Renewable Energy Research Group) was established in 2012 in the old block of the Department of Applied Physics, University of Karachi with the aim to provide the forefront of innovation and sustainability, dedicated to advancing the development and implementation of renewable energy technologies. In view of global challenges arising from climate change, energy security and environmental degradation becoming more intense, RERL’s mission is increasingly critical. Various modern areas of research on renewable energies like wind, solar, bioenergy and smart grid are being extensively studied in our laboratory with a quest for cost effective utilities that preserve the environment.

RERL provides an enabling environment where undergraduate and postgraduate students use contemporary software and hardware to solve energy problems of today’s world. We are presently involved in basic and applied research, piloting projects as well as technology transfer activities that ensure rapid adaptation of new renewable energy advances into practical applications.

It is our dedication to education and outreach that enables us to develop new ideas and also educate the budding researchers. RERL is at the forefront of shaping energy policy and driving worldwide sustainable energy strategies through partnerships with industry, government agencies, and universities. At Renewable Energy Research Lab (RERL), we think that our future depends on using nature as a source of power – a belief that we are committed to seeing come true.
