Photovoltaics Competitive Awards

In support of the SunShot goals, DOE issues competitive solicitations to fund targeted research projects along the entire technology pipeline. Financial awards allow three key partners—industry, laboratories, and universities—to help DOE advance SunShot Initiative goals.

Below are DOE's current awards:

• Concept Development
  • Bridging Research Interactions through collaborative Development Grants in Energy (BRIDGE)
  • Next Generation PV II
  • Foundational Program to Advance Cell Efficiency (F-PACE)
• Prototype Design and Scale-Up
  • SunShot Incubator
  • PV Supply Chain and Cross-Cutting Technologies
    • Part I: PV Supply Chain and Cross-Cutting Technologies
    • Part II: High Impact Supply Chain R&D for PV Technologies/System
• Market-Ready Technologies
  • Photovoltaic Manufacturing Initiative (PVMI): Advanced Manufacturing Partnerships
  • Scaling Up Nascent PV at Home (SUNPATH)
