FY 2005 Budget: 1. Introduction Each year, ten federal departments and agencies (including DOE) are required by the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program to reserve a portion of their R&D funds for award to small, U.S.-owned businesses. Over the life of the SBIR Program, the Solar Program has contributed $14 million and received $30 million in research funding. The very high popularity of the SBIR program at DOE has necessitated crosscutting topics, eliminating the once-separate PV/Solar topic. This step was taken to remove lengthy hiatus periods (for solar it has been some 3 years between solicitations) and provide all programs with the opportunity to participate on an annual basis. The Solar Program is nested mainly in the Renewable Energy Sources SBIR category (Topic 31). The SBIR Solar Program fits very nicely into the DOE Solar Program Multi-Year Technical Plan because it augments and supports the core program, in all aspects, with integrated solutions from the vast U.S. small business community. 2. Technical Approach Renewable energy technologies have achieved significant advances in recent years, but further improvements are needed if they are to reach their full potential. The solar technologies included EERE Crosscutting Activities 180 Small Business Innovation Research Performing Organization: Administrative: Support (Proposal Evaluation): Key Technical Contact and DOE HQ Technology Manager: Objectives • Support small business energy R&D. • Implement Executive Order 13329, which involves assisting the private sector in manufacturing innovation. • Continue to pursue wise cost/benefit investments • Augment the core research of the DOE Solar Program. Accomplishments Awards that matured in FY 2004: • Advanced high-packing density of concentrating solar cells with high reliability. • Produced thin (less than 30 micron) Silicon Film solar cells on glass-ceramic substrates. • Automated assembly-line production of materials for high-performance CdTe PV modules. • Developed advanced machinery for slicing crystalline silicon ingots. Future Directions • Focus on material and process cost-saving techniques for manufacturing solar/PV (silicon and other thin films). • Seek new solar concentrator designs for ease of manufacturing and cost reduction. • Incorporate innovative ways to use thermal energy in PV concentrators’ electric output. • Intensify the pursuit of the newest breakthrough in inexpensive organic PV solar cells (nanotechnology applied to PV). • Achieve significant cost reduction in production of crystalline silicon PV products. • Seek cost-effective PV-powered hydrogen production via electrolysis of water. ____________________________________________________________________________________ DOE HQ Solar Energy Technologies Program DOE HQ Germantown National Renewable Energy Laboratory Sandia National Laboratories Alec Bulawka, 202-586-5633, alec.bulawka@ee.doe.gov $1,593K ____________________________________________________________________________________PDF Image | DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program
