Grant Description: A link to the full Funding Opportunity Announcement is found by scrolling to the bottom of this page. In his January 2006 State of the Union Address, President Bush announced the Advanced Energy Initiative to change how we power our homes and offices, we will invest more in zero-emission coal-fired plants, revolutionary solar and wind technologies, and clean, safe nuclear energy. In order to meet this initiative, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has created the Solar America Initiative (SAI). The SAI will accelerate the development of advanced photovoltaic (PV) technologies with the goal of making solar electricity generation cost-competitive with other forms of renewable electricity by 2015. To support the development of long-term technological advances, the SETP is providing a FOA to perform exploratory R D for the development of innovative, revolutionary, and highly disruptive future-generation solar to electric conversion technologies. The device and manufacturing process research that is targeted by this Opportunity would be expected to produce prototype cells and/or processes by 2015, with full commercialization coming to fruition in the 2020-2030 time-frame. The SETP program realizes that some technologies are more mature than others and various technologies will reach commercialization in different time-frames. Applications for highly innovative technologies that may be ready for the through the prototype stage before 2015 are encouraged to this Announcement as well. The objective of this FOA is to seek applications for technologies that address the post 2015 goals as compared to the current state of the art technologies. Potential areas of interest for this FOA include, but are not limited to the following: " PV Devices: organic, crystalline, non-single crystal devices, photoelectrochemical, advanced multi-junction, low dimensional structures, optimized interfaces, transport properties and cross-cutting issues; " Hybrid PV Device Concepts: hydrogen generation, powered electrochromics and storage; and " Manufacturing: low cost techniques, environmental/recycling issues and novel manufacturing processes. Applications for this Funding Opportunity Announcement must be accessed, completed, and submitted through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov to be considered for award. Questions regarding the content of the announcement should be submitted through the Submit Question feature of the DOE Industry Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) at http://e-center.doe.gov. VERY IMPORTANT: To complete and submit applications through Grants.gov, there are several actions you must complete (e.g., obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, register with the Central Contract Registry (CCR), install the PureEdge Viewer, register with the credential provider, and register with Grants.gov). Applicants are highly encouraged to register as soon as possible and should allow at least 21 days to complete the registration process. When done, call the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1.800.518.4726 to verify successful registration. Registration Instructions are found on the Grants.gov web site at http://www.grants.gov and in the Funding Opportunity Announcement.
