Description: | The purpose of amendment 001 is to:
A) Update the Cost Impact tables in Section I Funding Opportunity Description, on pages 9-11, to clarify the cost components for electrical and hardware labor. All other parts of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) remain unchanged. The areas which have changed with this modification are highlighted within the FOA. The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to significantly reduce the balance of system hardware cost component of Photovoltaic (PV) systems. This FOA directly supports the goals of the Department of Energys (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Solar Energy Technologies Program (SETP) and the SunShot Initiative, which has a goal to reduce the total cost (including installer margin) of solar energy systems by about 75 percent before the end of the decade. Under this FOA, the DOE SETP program is requesting applications for research, development, and demonstration of new components and system designs or the development of new building code language to overcome scientific, technological, and engineering barriers to achieving safe, very low cost, and high reliability balance of system hardware. While this FOA is meant to mainly address hardware and labor costs and not soft costs, advancements in hardware that may result in lower There will be four topics to which an application may be submitted under this FOA: Topic 1: Transformational Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Modules The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at http://eere.energy.gov/financing/exchange. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website.
