• Testing of new low-load technologies to reduce system cost (SNL/SWRES). • Benchmarking of PV systems in rapid growth markets abroad such as Japan and Germany. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Introduction One of the primary goals of the DOE Solar Program is to facilitate acceptance and integration of distributed solar power for both on- and off- grid applications. The international activities at SNL, NREL, and the New Mexico State University (NMSU) Southwest Region Experiment Station (SWRES) contribute to this goal by developing PV systems and applications, facilitating markets and business partnerships, and overcoming PV technology adoption barriers through international collaborations. Collaborations and leveraging include DOE’s Office of Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs (OWIP) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Strategic targets include Brazil, Central America, China, India, Mexico, and others. The international program also works through such multilateral forums as the International Energy Agency (IEA), the World Bank, and the United Nations (UN). U.S. and global off-grid markets are forecast to continue growing at 15%–18% per year, and German and Japanese markets represent a substantial portion of near- and long-term U.S. industry sales. This paper details how international activities at SNL, NREL, and NMSU contribute to the relevant PV tasks and R&D milestones laid out in the DOE Solar Program Multi-Year Technical Plan (MYTP). 2. Technical Approach The international groups at SNL, NREL, and SWRES consist of a diverse group of technical and policy experts with private sector experience, field expertise, and multiple language skills. Each institutional group uses their specialized talents, international partners, and collaborations with USAID and DOE OWIP to achieve the previously enumerated objectives. SNL focuses on the development and testing of new solar technologies and systems for international applications. NREL focuses on technical support for major rural electrification initiatives, hybrid testing, system modeling, and facilitation of business partnerships and projects. SWRES field-tests the latest U.S. solar technologies, develops new productive-use applications, and provides technology assistance for large-scale PV projects abroad. Together, all three institutions collaborate with partners abroad, providing U.S. companies with useful information on technology performance, customer needs, and market conditions. 3. Results and Accomplishments 3.1 NREL International NREL’s International PV Project helped to stimulate and leverage major rural electrification initiatives using PV. NREL and the Institute for Sustainable Power (ISP) provide technical and program design assistance and training certification for the US$340 million Chinese Township Electrification Program, which has included installation of 20 MW of PV, and the Brazilian Luz Para Todos program (this US$2.4 billion program includes a renewable energy component). NREL supports training of women as solar power entrepreneurs in West Bengal, India, through the Energy Research Institute to support the growing solar home systems market and the DOE/NREL-supported Ramakrishna Mission project. In addition, DOE OWIP cofunded NREL to develop rural energy training modules for the Luz Para Todos program, a UN Development Program training in Chile, training in the Maldives, and two regional Mexico training sessions on NREL’s HOMER software. All of this has led to a local capability by government and utility decision-makers to understand the benefits of, and facilitate the implementation of, PV for rural electrification. The Project helped launch IEA Task 10, “Urban Scale PV Applications,” which is the first IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) Task in which the United States is an operating agent. It includes three U.S.-led activities: a building-integrated PV (BIPV) market roadmap, urban planning tools, and market-driven approaches to BIPV development.
