DOE is proposing to provide federal funding to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct laboratory research and development activities that advance solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. DOE funding would be used to develop a c-Si thin-film solar cell with thickness of less than ten microns at an efficiency greater than twenty percent.
