The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Tessolar, Inc. to develop and demonstrate Tessolar’s innovative and cost-effective photovoltaic modules and mounting hardware.
The proposed project activities would include the design, development, fabrication and laboratory testing of advanced solar photovoltaic modules and mounting hardware. Design, development and fabrication activities would occur at Tessolar’s research and development facility in Cambridge, MA with fabrication endeavors supported by Planckstrabe in Freiberg, Germany, Reliance Engineering in Lancaster, MA, and Fraunhofer Center for Sustainability in Albuquerque, NM. In-lab testing would be completed by Tessolar in Cambridge and Fraunhofer Center for Sustainability in Albuquerque. All facilities in which lab work would occur have been purpose-built for the type of activities being proposed. No change in the use, mission or operation of existing facilities would arise out of this effort. The facilities have all applicable permits in place, and would not need additional permits for the proposed activities.
