Recently, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced up to US$45 million for research to advance solar hardware and systems integration, including the creation of a consortium dedicated to developing control technologies for a modernised electric grid.
While solar makes up 3% of US electricity, that amount is expected to reach 18% by 2050 – requiring an increase of hundreds of gigawatts of solar capacity. As a result, DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is seeking new solutions that can reliably bring large quantities of solar onto the grid and that can ensure that US-made hardware is used in those installations.

Dec. 30, 2020
With funds awarded from the Department of Energy s Solar Energy Technologies Office, NREL will pursue projects designed to advance integration of solar energy.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been awarded a large share of funds from the Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) 2020 funding program, receiving more than $9 million to study solar integration and reliability. Within the SETO-2020 program, and alongside a network of collaborators, NREL will lead three projects and support three others.
“Solar power has grown substantially on the electrical grid, and we expect that growth
There’s no easy way around it; 2020 has been a challenging year. While COVID-19 has brought a barrage of difficulties, one lesson has become clear: we are stronger together. People have stepped up across their communities to help family,.
