The development of cost-effective thin film cells and modules has been a centerpiece of the Department of Energy's national photovoltaics research for several decades. Here we will present the SunShot Initiative's current perspective on research priorities in CIGS and CdTe photovoltaics, based upon various analyses of what challenges need to be overcome to continue lowering costs towards 2020 and...
The deployment of photovoltaics (PV) has demonstrated a remarkable annual growth rate of 54% from 2010 to 2015 [1], yet PV only currently satisfies approximately 1% of the world's electricity demand [2]. As solar deployment continues to grow, some new technologies being researched today have the potential to enable faster cost reductions and increased deployment compared to more established technologies...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office seeks to ensure that its investments in photovoltaics (PV) research deliver successful outcomes to the US taxpayer and domestic solar market. A general R&D evaluation and assessment framework is proposed, then used in this case study to examine connections between the documented outputs of funded research and successful market...
