DOE to award $45M for projects to advance solar energy – Daily Energy Insider

Daily Energy Insider Published on December 30, 2020 by Dave Kovaleski © Shutterstock The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding up to $45 million for research to advance solar hardware and systems integration. Currently, solar only makes up three percent of U.S. electricity, but usage is expected to rise steadily. By 2050, it should account for 18 percent of U.S. electricity. To accommodate this increase requires an increase of hundreds of gigawatts of solar capacity. Thus, DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is seeking ways to bring large quantities of solar onto the grid. “The Nation’s solar energy use is on the rise,” Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette said. “Investing in innovative research and development projects will help ensure that the technologies we’re using benefit the U.S. economy while securely delivering reliable power to all Americans.”

US DOE announces funding for solar technologies

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.
