The Department of Energy is offering this grant to fund critical research in photovoltaics (PV) and perovskite technology. This grant is for the purpose of accelerating the transition to a decarbonized electricity sector by 2035, aligning with the Biden administration’s goals. Specifically, the DE-FOA-0002582 PVRD FOA seeks projects to reduce PV hardware costs and environmental impacts, while significantly increasing perovskite module performance. Two topics are addressed: Topic 1 focuses on developing low-cost, high-throughput PV module designs and processing methods to minimize environmental burden and improve end-of-life handling, with projects up to $1.5M. Topic 2 encourages collaborative research teams to tackle major challenges limiting the durability, scale-up, and efficiency of perovskite solar cell devices.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Private institutions of higher education Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Individuals Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities For profit organizations other than small businesses State governments Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Independent school districts Public and State controlled institutions of higher education City or township governments Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) Special district governments Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) Small businesses County governments |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | Topic Area 1 Eligibility Restriction: DOE and National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) and national laboratories are not eligible to apply as prime recipients and may be included only as subrecipients on applications in Topic Area 1. The scope of work performed by the prime recipient shall not be less than the scope of work performed by the subrecipients who are ineligible to be prime applicants, as measured by the total project costs. The requirement for the prime recipient’s share of total project costs can be met with the prime’s percentage being greater than the individual contribution of each subrecipient even if the prime applicant’s share is less than 50% of the scope of work. For example, a project allocation of 40% prime applicant and three subapplicants each utilizing 20% of the budget is allowable. |

These research areas will support increased photovoltaics deployment needed to meet the Biden administration’s goal of a carbon emissions free electricity sector by 2035. The FOA will have two topics: • Topic 1 seeks to fund 2-3 year long research projects at a maximum of $1.5M each project in federal funds to produce low-cost, high throughput photovoltaics module designs and processing methods to reduce the environmental burden, materials usage and vulnerability in the metallization and end-of-life handling of photovoltaic modules to support the transition to a decarbonized electricity system. • Topic 2 solicits applications for projects that will bring together teams of researchers from multiple institutions and/or companies to understand and address the major issues in perovskite solar cell devices that limit the durability, scale-up, and efficiency. |
