Doing research on competitor firms, market trends, regulations has been fascinating and improved both my technical and procedural knowledge in the solar industry as well as in the world of business in general. My supervisor has made the deliverables and responsibilities clear, doable, and challenging. The work has been both manageable and engaging.” - Jacob R., Research Intern, from University of Pennsylvania
