The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) proposes to provide funding to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to partner with Sandia National Laboratory and the University of South Florida (USF) to conduct accelerated PV module durability testing and data analytics. This effort is part of DOE’s national laboratory-led Energy Materials Network Consortium for durable module materials (DuraMAT), an initiative which seeks to accelerate the development of new module materials that enable significant reductions in the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of photovoltaic (PV) systems.
