☀️🔬 Today, we announced 18 projects that will receive a combined $71M in funding for research, development, and demonstration of technologies across the solar supply chain. The solar manufacturing projects will address gaps in the domestic solar manufacturing supply chain, including equipment, ingots and wafers, and silicon and thin-film solar cell manufacturing, and open new markets for solar technologies like integrated-photovoltaics and agrivoltaics.
