Show Me the Money: $12 million for Early Stage Solar Technologies

Posted on January 20, 2010 by Janet Jacobs

 

The Department of Energy (“DOE”) announced today that the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (“NREL”) will invest up to $12 million in total funding ($10 million from funds allocated to NREL under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“ARRA”)) in four companies - three California and one North Carolina -  to take early stage PV and CSP technologies to commercialization.

 

Each company will receive up to $3 million (and the benefit of NREL’s support and expertise) to take prototype and pre-commercial PV technologies and develop pilot/demo projects or full-scale manufacturing projects. Payment of the awarded $3 million will be made over time as each company completes specified project milestones.

 

DOE is investing more than $117 million in solar energy through ARRA.
