Ten of the projects are small-scale research and development projects designed to push the limits of PV technologies, potentially advancing the state of the art in new cell and module architectures, efficiency, energy output, service lifetime, and manufacturability.
DOE’s Office of Energy Effiiciency and Renewable Energy (EERE) will fund the awardees through its Small Innovative Projects in Solar program developed to support progress toward leveling the cost of solar electricity to approximately $0.02
