The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to CelLink Corporation to demonstrate a flexible interconnect circuit for photovoltaic modules at the pilot-manufacturing scale.
Proposed project activities would include the design, fabrication, and testing of custom, roll-to-roll laser patterning equipment, and fabrication of interconnect circuits using the roll-to-roll laser patterning equipment.
All of Task 1.0, and Subtasks 2.1 and 2.2, were previously reviewed (GFO-0007008-001; CX A9, CX B5.15; September 2015) and excluded from further NEPA review; however, the location where the manufacturing of the interconnect circuits would occur was unknown at the time and Subtasks 2.3 and 2.4, and all of Task 3.0 were prohibited. This location has been identified and a meaningful review can now be completed for these previously prohibited activities.
