LR SOLAR INTELLIGENCE™

Introducing LR Solar Intelligence
Solar technology is changing rapidly, making it difficult to form smart decisions. LR Solar Intelligence gives you a competitive edge by uncovering promising opportunities and hidden risks of emerging solar technologies. Get the critical knowledge needed to minimize your risk and maximize your returns.


Our service:
LR Solar Intelligence provides ongoing proprietary information and analysis of the top solar innovators through:
  • The Lux Research Solar Journal - a weekly intelligence service via e-mail
  • In-depth analysis of 3 to 5 top solar innovators
  • Proprietary tidbits and data points from the Lux Research global network
  • On-demand Analyst Access - direct access to Lux Research's energy and environment expert analysts to ask specific questions in detail and in confidence
  • Overview reports - periodic overviews of the current state of solar technologies including competitive analyses and technology mapping
  • The Cleantech Report™ - the first comprehensive overview of emerging energy and environmental technologies covering energy, air, water, waste and sustainability

Our value:
LR Solar Intelligence delivers value by:
  • Identifying new disruptive technologies and companies
  • Providing unbiased analysis on technologies and business strategies of the top solar innovators
  • Enabling clients to ask confidential questions to a large number of solar innovators through our briefing process
  • Assessing how rival technologies compete with each other
  • Evaluating the impact on incumbent leaders, rival energy technologies and financial markets

Our process:
LR Solar Intelligence is grounded in rigorous primary interviews and onsite visits. Our process relies on:
  • Identifying and tracking the top solar innovators including public, private, and stealth-mode companies
  • Conducting in-depth telephone and onsite structured briefings with 3 to 5 innovators every week
  • Collecting proprietary tidbits, data points, and anecdotes from across the Lux Research global network
  • Enabling clients to confidentially nominate new companies for inclusion
  • Submitting specific questions to be asked of companies on our briefing schedule

Our difference:
LR Solar Intelligence is unique because it is:
  • Comprehensive - assesses of the full breadth of solar innovators from start ups to established companies
  • Proprietary - offers exclusive insights from primary interviews and site visits rather than third-party data sources.
  • Unbiased - obtains unbiased information and deliver impartial analysis
  • Confidential - clients are never disclosed to any outside party and client inquiries are treated with utmost discretion
  • Cost-effective - costs far less than expensive consultants or a resource-intense internal team
