The NCPV submitted a multiyear Capital Equipment Plan (2005–2010) for the PV Subprogram to DOE/HQ program managers. The plan covers the reinvestment in critical resources for U.S. PV technology, and summarizes the critical capital equipment requirements for the national laboratories (NREL and SNL) and the NCPV’s university research partners. The ability of the PV Subprogram to conduct leading-edge research requires a substantial investment in capital equipment on an ongoing basis. Finally, there was significant progress on the Science and Technology Facility (S&TF) at NREL, the first major capital improvement project in the last 10 years. The facility will house state-of-the-art research capabilities that include a process-integration concept designed to accelerate the time it takes to move a technology from the laboratory to the marketplace. The initial effort in FY 2005 will focus on crystalline silicon technology. A formal groundbreaking for the S&TF was held on July 27, 2004. The event included remarks and participation by R. Truly (NREL), J. Spigarelli (MRI), D. Garman (DOE), R. Sutula (DOE), Colorado Senator W. Allard, and Congressman B. Beauprez. Construction of the S&TF (see Fig. 3) was scheduled to begin in early CY 2005, with completion scheduled for late FY 2006. Fig. 3. Artist’s concept of the new Science and Technology Facility at NREL 3.2 ConcentratingSolarPowerSubprogram DOE has reexamined its CSP Subprogram to determine current prospects for reducing the cost of CSP to levels competitive with those of traditional energy sources. Continued advances in CSP technologies and new market opportunities nationally and internationally have led to the conclusion that the technology now has the potential to be competitive and to provide significant benefits to the Southwestern United States and beyond. Given projected technology improvements and deployment opportunities, DOE developed a technology R&D and deployment strategy to promote the transition of CSP from proven technical system to initial market competitive status. NREL and SNL provided significant analytical support in the development of this strategy, identified as the CSP Technology Transition Plan. These efforts also directly supported the Western Governors’ Association 1000 MW activity as it moves toward reality; these included economic and site-location analyses, as well as extensive discussions with energy planners in California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Arizona. R&D upgrades of dish and trough concentrators have directly supported important industry partnerships. A unique and effective partnership arrangement was developed to best leverage DOE funding of activities that support the development of the next generation of dish systems. 3.3 Solar Heating and Lighting Subprogram The SH&L Subprogram facilitated an integrated water-heater technology roadmap development workshop on February 25–27, 2004, in Baltimore, MD. Sponsored jointly by the Solar Energy Technologies Program and the Building Technologies Program, this workshop brought together the solar water heating, conventional water heating, and high-efficiency water heating industries for the first time. The water heating roadmap—in draft form at the end of FY 2004— will be used by DOE for long-term strategic planning. The PV and SH&L Subprograms also jointly developed a new exhibit, “Your Home in the Sun,” for the Solar Energy Technologies Program for display at the 2004 International Builders Show in Las Vegas, NV, January 19–22, 2004. With more than 100,000 industry professionals in attendance, this National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) show is the largest homebuilding show in the world. NREL Solar
