SunShot-backed Consortium to Study Durable Solar PV Materials

Renewable Energy World: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will provide $30 million in funding from its SunShot Initiative to support research that will accelerate development of solar PV module materials that could lower the cost of electricity generated by solar power.

Four national laboratories will partner to form the Durable Module Materials (DuraMat) National Lab Consortium under the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Energy Materials Network. The national lab partners include the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Sandia National Laboratories, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
