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.
