The research, development, and demonstration projects aim to enhance domestic solar manufacturing, support the recycling of solar panels, and develop new American-made solar technologies. Additionally, this significant investment will help promote cheaper, more efficient solar cells and advance cadmium telluride (CdTe) and perovskite solar manufacturing\u2014two technologies vital to diversifying the solar supply chain. Accelerating solar energy manufacturing, production, adoption, and integration across America is critical to growing an equitable clean energy economy and achieving the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s goals of a 100% clean electricity grid by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Since President Biden took office, over $5 billion in private sector domestic solar manufacturing investments have already been announced, and the United States is now on track to increase domestic solar panel manufacturing capacity 8-fold by the end of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden\u2019s Investing in America agenda is fueling a clean energy revolution right here at home with game-changing incentives for manufacturing and deployment,\u201d said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. \u201cDOE is seizing that momentum by making some of our largest ever investments in research to strengthen our domestic solar supply chain\u2014creating good-paying jobs and boosting economic opportunities in communities across America in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a result of President Biden\u2019s commitment to clean energy deployment and climate solutions\u2014including investments made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act\u2014domestic solar module manufacturing capacity is expected to grow nearly eightfold from the start of the Administration. In February, DOE released the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/eere\/solar\/building-bridge-more-robust-and-secure-solar-energy-supply-chain\">Building a Bridge to a More Robust and Secure Solar Energy Supply Chain<\/a>\u201d white paper to outline potential pathways to build a strong, ethical, domestic supply chain for solar energy, which could grow to as much as 100,000 new jobs and generate $20 to 40 billion in new investments.<\/p>\n<h3>Improving Panel Recycling through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/eere\/solar\/seto-fiscal-year-2022-photovoltaics-research-and-development-pvrd-funding-program\">Eight projects to be selected for award negotiations<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/eere\/solar\/seto-fiscal-year-2022-photovoltaics-research-and-development-pvrd-funding-program\">because of President Biden\u2019s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law<\/a> will focus on reducing the cost and increasing the efficiency of panel recycling processes. As solar deployment increases, the end-of-life of photovoltaic (PV) components needs to be considered. Although 95% of a PV module is recyclable, the current economics of managing panels at end-of-life are unfavorable to recycling, according to DOE\u2019s recent report. Modules designed for recycling will increase the percentage of materials that can be recovered during the recycling process and re-sold into the market. Increasing the amount of recovered materials such as silver and copper means these materials can contribute to the domestic supply chain.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Electroninks Incorporated\u202f<\/strong>(Austin, TX): This project will explore the use of new metal \u201cinks\u201d for adding conductive metal contacts to solar cells, providing a cheaper method that is compatible with multiple common solar cell technologies, including silicon, CdTe, and perovskites.

The important work of mapping the solar energy supply chain is happening in Illinois.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you invest in renewable energy you create good-paying American jobs and cleaner air for our children and grandchildren. This funding, supercharged by the historic investments I secured in the Bipartisan Infrastructure &amp; Jobs Law, will bring solar manufacturing back to our shores to build America\u2019s clean-energy future, all while fighting climate change,\u201d said <strong>U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (NY)<\/strong>. \u201cWith tremendous New York companies like Mission Drive leading the charge the future is sunny and bright for American-made solar technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to investments we made in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, we are in the midst of an American renewable energy boom that is creating jobs and driving innovation and opportunity for communities in Ohio,\u201d said <strong>U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (OH)<\/strong>. \u201cWith these investments we are continuing to position Ohio as leader in solar energy innovation and manufacturing \u2014 creating domestic energy supply chains and increasing American energy independence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor many decades, Southwestern Pennsylvania built much of the rest of America. Now with the help of the Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress, the region is leading the way into our clean energy future,\u201d said <strong>U.S. Senator Bob Casey (PA)<\/strong>. \u201cWith this funding, Vitro Flat Glass will improve the power output of solar panels, innovating solar manufacturing right here in Southwestern Pennsylvania.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to do everything we can to invest in America\u2019s solar industry, secure our supply chains, and accelerate our transition to a clean energy economy \u2014 and I\u2019m grateful that Colorado\u2019s businesses and universities are leading the way,\u201d said <strong>U.S. Senator Michael Bennet (CO)<\/strong>. \u201cThese investments will help us compete on the global stage with countries like China by supporting the long-term growth of America\u2019s solar industry at every stage, from research to deployment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo meet our country\u2019s full potential as a global leader in solar energy development, we need to supercharge our domestic manufacturing. That\u2019s true for everything from silicon wafers to tracking systems and new technologies that will help integrate more solar generation into the grid. I am proud to welcome this major federal investment in American companies that are manufacturing critical solar technologies here at home, including Albuquerque\u2019s Guardian Devices,\u201d said <strong>U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (NM)<\/strong>. \u201cThis company is a real success story for the Department of Energy\u2019s Laboratory Directed Research and Development program. Using knowledge gained from polymer materials research at Sandia National Labs, Guardian produces innovative in-line, self-extinguishing connectors that will make the next generation of solar panels safer and more reliable at higher voltages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur clean energy future requires a domestic and secure solar supply chain, and Massachusetts is the heart of that innovation,\u201d said <strong>U.S. Senator Ed Markey (MA)<\/strong>. \u201cI am pleased that the Department of Energy has awarded $9 million to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, using funds appropriated by Congress, that will help us develop efficient and innovative tandem solar cells using next-generation perovskite technology right here in the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone\u2014including those who are most impacted by climate change and environmental injustices\u2014should have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the growing clean energy economy,\u201d said <strong>U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (IL)<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019m glad that the DOE is working to invest in Illinois to help increase access to solar power infrastructure, and I\u2019m proud that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues pushing us toward a cleaner future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re accelerating towards a clean energy future by spurring domestic manufacturing, establishing a resilient supply chain, and creating jobs \u2014 all with a \u2018Made in America\u2019 sticker on it.
