| Description: | The purpose of this modification is to revise information in Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0000474 to narrow the ?Other Sources of Funding? requirement in Sections IV.C.1 and VI.B.9 of the FOA to focus on individuals (Principal Investigators, Co-PIs, and Key Participants) participating in the proposed project and to clarify disclosure requirements for Applicants selected for award negotiations. ARPA-E has encouraged certain Applicants to submit Full Applications and has discouraged others from doing so. Applicants may submit a Full Application even if they receive a notification discouraging them from doing so. By discouraging the submission of a Full Application, ARPA-E intends to convey its lack of programmatic interest in the proposed project. Such assessments do not necessarily reflect judgments on the merits of the proposed project. The purpose of the Concept Paper phase is to save Applicants the considerable time and expense of preparing a Full Application that is unlikely to be selected for award negotiations. The deadline for the submission of Full Applications is Monday, July 18, 2011 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. As noted in Section IV. E of the FOA, ARPA-E strongly encourages Applicants to submit their Full Applications and Replies to Reviewer Comments at least 24 hours in advance of the applicable submission deadline. The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Solar ADEPT program, focuses on integrating advanced power electronics into solar panels and solar farms to extract and deliver energy more efficiently. For attachments and/or instructions you may also see the ARPA-E website at https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov. All questions to this FOA must be submitted to ARPA-E-CO@hq.doe.gov.

ARPA-E focuses on high-risk concepts with potentially high rewards. When it established ARPA-E, Congress directed ARPA-E to: (1) enhance the economic and energy security of the United States through the development of energy technologies that result in reductions of imports of energy from foreign sources, reductions of energy-related emissions, and improvements in the energy efficiency of all economic sectors; and (2) ensure that the United States maintains a technological lead in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies. Pursuant to its statute, ARPA-E seeks to accomplish its mission by identifying and promoting revolutionary advances in fundamental sciences, by translating scientific discoveries and cutting-edge inventions into te To obtain a copy of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) please go to the ARPA-E website at https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov.

Pursuant to its statute, ARPA-E seeks to accomplish its mission by identifying and promoting revolutionary advances in fundamental sciences, by translating scientific discoveries and cutting-edge inventions into technological innovations, and by accelerating transformational technological advances in areas that industry by itself is not likely to support because of technical and financial uncertainty. SunShot leverages the unique strengths across DOE to reduce the total cost of utility-scale solar systems by 75 percent by 2017. If successful, this collaboration would deliver solar electricity at roughly 6 cents a kilowatt hour – a cost competitive with electricity from fossil fuels. This would enable solar electricity to scale without subsidies and make the U.S. globally competitive in solar technology. ARPA-E’s portion of the collaboration is the Solar ADEPT program, which focuses on integrating advanced power electronics into solar panels and solar farms to extract and deliver energy more efficiently. Specifically, ARPA-E aims to invest in key advances in magnetics, semiconductor switches, and charge storage, which could reduce power conversion costs by up to 50 percent for utilities and 80 percent for homeowners.
