The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Portland State University to develop new solar photovoltaic (PV) modules and solar system-scale designs that promote a reduction in the operating temperature of the solar PV panels, leading to a boost in the annual energy yield by at least 5%.
