The U.S. Department of Energy is proposing to provide federal funding to the Fraunhofer USA, Inc., Center for Sustainable Energy Systems to research, develop, and design ways to reduce the installed cost of residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by developing a residential "Plug and Play" solar PV system. Funding would be used for testing, validation, and technical and economic analysis of a residential "Plug and Play" solar PV system in laboratories in California, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
