- Description
- The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will issue on 01/27/09 a Solicitation for Letters of Interest (LOIs) to U.S. Small Businesses for the development of prototype photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules. This Solicitation is in support of U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Solar America Initiative (SAI). Authorized under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the SAI represents a significant enhancement of DOE's business strategy of partnering with the U.S. industry to accelerate commercialization of PV system research and development (R&D) to meet aggressive cost and installed capacity goals. Within the framework of the SAI, this PV Technology Pre-Incubator project is positioned to bridge the gap between the concept verification stage of a technology and the development of a commercially viable prototype. This enhanced progress is achieved by taking demonstrated innovative technologies, with the potential for a disruptive improvement in solar energy production, and accelerating the transition to the prototype stage. The expected 12 month objective and result is a demonstrated PV cell or module prototype that incorporates the core innovations, meets the proposed level of performance, and is capable of meeting the entrance criteria and goals of the related SAI PV Incubator project. Subject to the availability of funds, it is the intent of NREL to award a total of approximately 5-10 firm fixed price (w/price participation) subcontracts, up to $500k each, and 12 month duration. A Net Conference regarding this Solicitation is scheduled for Tuesday, February 10, 2009, 9:30 A.M. Mountain Time. The Solicitation is available to view/download from NREL's website at http://www.nrel.gov/business_opportunities/solicitations_rfps.html
