Topic 1 DOE is looking for the Solar America Cities to scale-up innovative
programs and concepts so they can be tested in a broader marketplace;
thereby,
increasing the likelihood of replication in other U.S. cities. Such an
approach
recognizes the city¿s role as an important end user of electricity, as a
key
intermediary to other end users within their jurisdiction, and as a
regulatory
entity. DOE expects award recipient cities to develop projects that
support
their city-wide solar implementation plans. Projects must tackle specific
barriers important to urban solar and must be replicable at some level
among
fellow Solar America Cities, other cities and local governments, states,
and
internationally.

Topic 2 intends to address the workforce development needs of the solar
industry, both for grid-tied PV systems in residential, commercial, and
utility
markets, and for SHC systems. Funded activities are not intended to
support
off-grid PV applications.
The overall goal of this FOA is to promote an increase in the quality and
availability of instruction relating to the installation of PV and SHC
systems.
