Solar Energy Technologies: Program Manager’s Outlook Welcome to this Solar Energy Technologies Multi-Year Program Plan 2007–2011 for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This document’s purpose is to delineate what the Solar Energy Technologies Program is attempting to accomplish, the activities it is pursuing to meet its goals, and how it will track its progress. Solar energy is one of the most ubiquitous primary energy sources on earth. However, this solar energy must be harnessed and converted into other forms, such as electricity and heat, to do useful work. And it must be provided at a cost competitive with more conventional energy sources. Realizing the sun’s energy potential by developing more efficient, reliable, and less costly solar energy technologies and systems is the mission of our Solar Program. Improvements in solar technologies over the last three decades have yielded substantial early market successes for several solar energy market segments—and these successes are due in large part to the leadership and support of the DOE applied program. This Multi-Year Program Plan (MYPP) presents a comprehensive strategy that can yield even greater technological and economic successes for solar energy in even broader energy markets. This document has been designed to meet the guidance and tenets set forth in the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) and the President’s Management Agenda, to make government more accountable to its constituents. To that end, DOE has asked us to use a prescribed format that will inform you about not just what we do—but also, why we have selected to focus on certain aspects of solar energy, and how we plan to measure and evaluate our progress along the way. This 2007–2011 MYPP extends the work set out in our very first such plan, the Multi-Year Technical Plan 2003–2007. In this current edition, we have implemented the use of our systems-driven approach to guide us through difficult programmatic options and to make sound decisions considering limited resources. In general, the Solar Program has moved from a technology-based program aimed at improving technology performance toward a more goal-oriented program looking to produce cost-effective solar energy systems. Using the analytical tools from our systems-driven approach, we have determined the cost drivers for each solar energy system within a specific target market. We have defined technical improvement opportunities (TIOs) that clearly identify the specific aspects of solar energy systems that will aid us in achieving our levelized cost of energy goals. We believe this will sharpen the Solar Program’s focus in working with industry and get more cost-effective solar systems to the marketplace sooner. The Solar Program’s MYPP is organized into four sections. Section 1 provides a Program Overview, an historical context and market overview for solar technologies and markets, and an attempt to tell you the “why” of the Solar Program. The chapter provides an external (i.e., business or public) perspective on the history of solar energy, as well as an internal (i.e., DOE or government) perspective of the three decades of progress of solar energy. Furthermore, we have created a Program Performance and Accountability Framework to describe the specific goals and metrics for which the Solar Program will be accountable. Section 2 presents the Critical Functions, a review of our tools and techniques that provide a rationale for the Solar Program. This chapter describes the systems-driven approach as a four-step implementation process and presents how the Solar Program has implemented this process. Additionally, we identify the specific target market prices, today’s benchmarks, and the programmatic goals for the short-term (2011) and long-term (2020) for each solar technology and market. The benefits for the Solar Program, in terms of both macroeconomic and strategic importance to the nation, are spelled out in this chapter. Finally, a series of planning, analysis, and management tasks are defined to ensure that the Solar Program is continually iiiPDF Image | Solar Energy Technologies Program
