SBIR/STTR funding enables small businesses to achieve their goals in two phases: Phase I provides up to $200,000 to prove an idea’s feasibility. If successful, awardees can then receive up to $1.1 million in Phase II to develop a prototype.
The DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office is hosting an informational webinar on December 4 at 2 p.m. ET to discuss the Phase I solar topics, listed below. Register for the webinar.
DOE plans to fund projects that advance a broad range of ideas in the following topic areas:
Power Electronic Technologies for Solar Systems
Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Power Cycles for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP)
CSP Technologies for Gen3 CSP, Commercial CSP (Gen2 CSP), or Concentrated Solar-Industrial Process Industrial Heat
Solar Hardware and Software Technologies: Affordability, Reliability, Performance, and Manufacturing
Mandatory letters of intent are due January 3, 2024, at 5 p.m. ET. Learn more about the solar topics, and look for the funding opportunity announcement to which you can apply in the coming weeks.
