Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy

SunShot Initiative

Dear SunShot Supporter, On January 29, the SunShot Initiative released its $45 million Technology to Market funding opportunity aimed at boosting American competitiveness and supporting a strong domestic, clean energy manufacturing sector. We have extended the deadline for submitting a concept paper to apply to this funding program until Tuesday, March 3 at 3:00pm ET. In addition, section I (funding opportunity description), section III (eligibility information) and section VI (award administration information) have been revised. Check out the complete funding opportunity announcement here. The path of product development. The tiers of this funding opportunity are meant to take a product from proof of concept to pilot manufacture (if applicable, hardware) or product launch (if applicable, soft cost solutions). This funding opportunity combines three historically separate SunShot Initiative funding programs—Incubator, Solar Manufacturing Technology, and Scaling Up Nascent PV at Home—into one that will support projects with the potential to significantly reduce the costs for solar energy systems across a variety of technology areas and will improve solar manufacturing. These tools, technologies and services could reduce the costs of technologies including photovoltaics and power electronics and contribute to cutting balance of system and non-hardware costs through customer acquisition, permitting, financing, interconnection, and inspection. Again, we have extended the deadline for submitting a concept paper to apply to this funding program until Tuesday, March 3 at 3:00pm ET. Check out the application requirements and other submission deadlines here. Best regards, The SunShot Team
