5.4 Program Coordination The bulk of the Solar Program’s activities are carried out using the exceptional and unique capabilities of DOE’s multi-program national laboratories. The Solar Program has established two primary research centers: the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Brookhaven National Laboratories (BNL) also contribute their expertise to perform specific tasks. The DOE Golden Field Office and Albuquerque Service Center help DOE headquarters administer and manage contracting activities not assigned to the laboratories. Finally, the Solar Program works with the six EERE Regional Offices in Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle, Denver, and Chicago for outreach and deployment activities such as the Million Solar Roofs Initiative. 5.4.1 Facilities and Capital Equipment The DOE national laboratories are government-owned, contractor-operated facilities that rely on government funding for buildings and equipment. The Solar Program has created several solar- specific user and test facilities, including the extensive measurements and characterization facilities for photovoltaic cells, modules, and systems; the National Solar Thermal Test Facility for testing concentrating solar power technologies; and the Thermal Test Facility for testing active solar, passive solar, and ventilation technologies. These facilities must continually be outfitted with the most advanced equipment to conduct effective research in materials science, electrochemistry, thermal sciences, and other disciplines. 5.4.2 DOE Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Programs The Solar Program coordinates its activities with several other EERE programs, as well as Federal, state, and local agencies, that can benefit by incorporating solar energy to enhance overall value for end-users. These programs include the following: • Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, and Infrastructure. These technologies can incorporate solar energy systems into the production of hydrogen as a fuel. • Distributed Energy Resources. Technologies such as combined heat and power, microturbines, and engines can be hybridized with solar into clean, reliable energy systems. • Buildings. This area includes energy efficiency programs that can incorporate solar systems into building envelopes, critical to its Zero Energy Buildings program goal. • Federal Energy Management Program. This program has helped promote and make available solar energy systems to the Federal government, which is the largest energy user in the United States. • Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs. These programs have helped promote and deploy solar energy via contacts in state, regional, and local organizations. They also support international projects and the renewable energy component of bilateral and trilateral energy agreements. • Small Business Innovative Research/Small Business Technology Transfer Research (SBIR/STTR) Programs. These programs were created to stimulate opportunities and innovation by setting aside Federal R&D funding for small businesses. The DOE solar programs have contributed more than $10 million in research grants since 1982. • Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Program. DOE sponsors a select group of undergraduates from historically black colleges and universities to perform PV research, explore international applications, and fill summer intern positions at the national laboratories.
