Solar District Cup Class of 2024 – The Solar District Cup Collegiate Design Competition is seeking college student teams for the Class of 2024. Registration is free and open until September 28.
On the anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), DOE released county-level data on energy employment across the United States finding that energy jobs grew in nearly every county in 2022. This data builds on national and state-level data from the 2023 U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER)—a comprehensive summary of national and state-level energy jobs, reporting by industry, technology, and region.
SETO Deputy Director, Garrett Nilsen, joined the Your Valuable Home podcast to kick off a new series called “How We’ll Power America Going Forward.” Check out the interview (starting at 33:00) to learn more about the benefits of going solar.
The PV Performance and Modeling Collaborative (PVPMC) has announced several upcoming solar research opportunities, including PV modeling comparisons and the chance to participate in the American-Made Solar Data Bounty Prize.
DOE recently announced $30 million to lower the costs of U.S. production of rare earths and other critical minerals and materials, which are key to domestic manufacturing of clean energy technologies such as solar panels. The funding will help meet the growing demand for critical minerals in the United States, while reducing reliance on offshore supplies.
Sandia National Laboratories’ PVPMC will hold its European Workshop November 8-9, 2023 in Mendrisio, Switzerland. Proposals are sought for the event’s PVPMC sessions, which will examine the technical challenges and opportunities related to PV performance modeling and the digitalization of the PV sector with a specific focus on ground-mounted and building-integrated PV systems.
September 7 | 2:30 p.m. ET
Join this webinar to learn how the IRA has impacted domestic solar manufacturing and encouraged equitable solar energy deployment since it was passed last year—and where DOE sees the industry heading next. Register.
September 19 | 3 p.m. ET
Register for the upcoming informational webinar about American-Made Community Power Accelerator Prize – Round 2.
September 21 | 12 p.m. ET
Join to hear the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy leaders and employees share their career journeys and explain why now is the most exciting time to be part of the clean energy revolution at DOE. Come and hear from hiring managers about the key duties and skills required for positions and how you can apply to be a clean energy champion!
