The Bay Area Photovoltaic Consortium (BAPVC) is a unique partnership joining universities, industry, and the US Government with the mission of developing advanced technologies to deliver high-performance photovoltaic (PV) modules at low-cost. The Department of Energy has provided funding to establish the BAPVC to develop materials, device structures and processes necessary to design and implement manufacturing methods to achieve cost effective photovoltaic modules in large volume production. DOE completed a NEPA review for the initial funding of BAPVC (GFO-0004946-001, CX A9, 6/28/2011) and for subsequent subawards to national laboratories and universities. This NEPA review applies to the most recent round of selected subawards (32 in total). DOE has reviewed abstracts from each of the following sub-recipients.
