About the Program

Awards

NREL's Solar Energy research supports the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Energy Technology Program.

The Thin Film Partnership Program supports progress in thin-film technologies, helping NREL remain a pioneer in thin-films.

The Thin Film Partnership Program Web site provides a database of the most relevant and up-to-date resources about thin films, serving the thin-film community and more general audiences with information on amorphous silicon (a-Si), copper indium diselenide (CuInSe2, or "CIS"), cadmium telluride (CdTe), environment, safety, and health (ES&H), and module reliability.

The Program has garnered many successes and awards. To date, the Program and its partners have shared seven prestigious R&D100 Awards for newly developed thin film products that reached early commercialization.

One of the main purposes of this site is to gather usable information in one place and to be able to easily search the resource database.
