Description

This modification includes: - Submission deadline for Letter of Intent. DE-FOA-0002582 PVRD FOA: This FOA seeks to fund projects to reduce photovoltaics hardware costs and environmental impacts; and increase perovskite module performance. These research areas will support increased photovoltaics deployment needed to meet the Biden administration's goal of a carbon emissions free electricity sector by 2035. The FOA will have two topics: Topic 1 seeks to fund 2-3 year long research projects at a maximum of $1.5M each project in federal funds to produce low-cost, high throughput photovoltaics module designs and processing methods to reduce the environmental burden, materials usage and vulnerability in the metallization and end-of-life handling of photovoltaic modules to support the transition to a decarbonized electricity system. Topic 2 solicits applications for projects that will bring together teams of researchers from multiple institutions and/or companies to understand and address the major issues in perovskite solar cell devices that limit the durability, scale-up, and efficiency.
