SETO Director, Dr. Becca Jones-Albertus, spoke at Sandia National Laboratories’ G3P3 Groundbreaking ceremony and celebrated this project as the final phase of DOE’s $100 million investment in the Generation 3 CSP program. This new CSP pilot plant will use sand-like ceramic particles and can withstand temperatures greater than 800°C, making the future of fully integrated thermal transport systems, from solar input to thermal energy storage, a real possibility.
Don't forget to participate in these funding opportunities, prizes, and solicitations:
The National Community Solar Partnership (NCSP) recently launched a new community solar training program as part of its Community Power Accelerator Prize competition. The Community Power Accelerator™ Learning Lab is designed to provide solar developers with critical resources and know-how to help them launch new equity-focused community solar projects. The learning lab is initially available to those competing in the Community Power Accelerator Prize.
Residential solar energy generates more than just renewable power; it also generates household savings, real estate value, and grid reliability and resilience. Learn more about what residential solar can do for you.
SETO has identified potential pathways to a more sustainable, reliable, and resilient supply chain for PV technologies. Read the white paper to learn more about the type and scale of solar supply chain disruption risks, options for a domestic supply chain, and key considerations to enable a more secure energy future.
The DOE Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office announced a $23 million funding opportunity that will establish a regional network of Onsite Energy Technical Assistance Partnerships to help industrial facilities and other large energy users increase the adoption of onsite clean energy technologies. Entities with expertise in onsite energy, including with PV and solar thermal, are encouraged to submit a letter of intent by February 28 at 5 p.m. ET.
March 2 | 12 p.m. ET Join DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) for a virtual networking opportunity for recent graduates interested in clean energy careers. EERE employees will be on hand to discuss their roles in renewable power, sustainable transportation, energy efficiency, and business operations. Come learn how you can help build our clean energy future as a Clean Energy Champion.
March 2 | 1:30 p.m. ET Join the Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X) team for a webinar to learn more about its new Technical Assistance program. There will be opportunities to find a partner to team with on your application and network with others in the interconnection space.
March 3 | 12 p.m. ET Join NCSP for an informational webinar all about the new Community Power Accelerator Prize.
March 7 | 12 p.m. ET NCSP developed a set of initiatives to support its goal of powering the equivalent of 5 million households with community solar by 2025 and generating $1 billion in household savings. Get a preview of the first Impact Report.
March 23 | 1 p.m. ET Join the AgriSolar Clearinghouse for a webinar series on agrivoltaics, the co-location of solar and agriculture on the same land. Additional webinars are scheduled in the coming months.
