Mandatory concept papers for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Silicon Solar Manufacturing and Dual-use Photovoltaics Incubator are due September 27 at 5 p.m. ET. DOE is interested in solutions that will accelerate manufacturing innovations that are part of the silicon solar module supply chain. Other projects will develop products that can open new markets for the emerging dual-use photovoltaic (PV) sectors, in particular agricultural PV, building-integrated PV, floating PV, and vehicle-integrated PV.  

DOE expects to make between five to twelve awards ranging from $400,000 to $10 million.
