Advancing U.S. Thin-Film Solar Photovoltaics
The Advancing U. S. Thin-Film Solar Photovoltaics FOA will focus on accelerating the capabilities of two thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technologies:
metal-halide perovskite PV and cadmium telluride (CdTe) PV technologies.
It will fund innovative industrial research and development (R&D) projects that will enable future commercialization of hybrid tandem perovskite PV, defined as a perovskite PV in combination with another technology such as silicon or CdTe.
It will also fund industrial research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) projects across the materials, equipment, installation, and performance monitoring sectors to improve the competitiveness of the domestic CdTe PV industry.
This FOA promotes American leadership in thin-film PV technology by promoting the domestic manufacture of thin-film PV modules.
With this goal in mind, only for-profit entities and teams led by for-profit entities may apply to this FOA (see Section III.A for more details on eligibility criteria) and all work must be performed in the United States (see Section IV.I.iii.
and Appendix C).
