Support SRML by becoming a Project Member or Website Sponsor

The University of Oregon Solar Radiation Monitoring Laboratory is a regional solar radiation data center. Our primary purpose is to provide and archive high quality solar resource information for the Pacific NorthWest.

Providing quality solar resource information is time consuming and expensive; funding is achieved by combining resources from many groups, agencies, and industries that benefit from this information.

There are two ways you can support SRML:

(1) Website Sponsorship, or

(2) Project Membership.

(1) Website Sponsorships

Website Sponsors are those who provide funds annually to support the development, maintenance and availability of the UO SRML Website. There are three levels of Website Sponsorship available through a Sponsorship Agreement.

Premier Website Sponsorship

A Premier Sponsor is a Website sponsor who provides $10,000 or more annually to maintain free access for SRML users. In recognition, the Premier Sponsor's logo and link will be listed on the home page under Premier Website Sponsors. The names of each Premier Sponsor will be included on a proportion of the sun path charts that are created by on our Website. We generate over 100,000 sun path charts each year! Premier Sponsors also receive an invitation to attend the annual meeting of the solar radiation monitoring project as well as early notification of publications. An annual report on Website usage will also be prepared and sent to Premier Sponsors.

Sustaining Website Sponsorship

Sustaining Website Sponsors provide $5,000 or more annually to maintain free access for SRML users.
