Inventions

The University of California’s research efforts have helped solve some of the toughest problems facing the state, the nation and the world – everything from improving the water we drink and the air we breathe to life-saving advances in medicine.

The public rightly expects UC to make a difference through its wealth of knowledge, its resources for analysis and research, and its capacity for innovation. This is the hallmark of the University of California.

This section provides information on inventions related to solar technology that have been developed the UC Solar campuses.

Most, if not all, of these inventions are available for licensing to corporations and entrepreneurs. They are sorted by campus, as each campus’s Office of Technology Transfer has the right to negotiate licensing agreements on behalf of its campus.

If you are interested in licensing any of these inventions, or learning more about them, please contact the appropriate UC office.
