Description: I. The purposes of this amendment are to:

A) Extend the Full Application deadline to June 27, 2011 at 11:59pm Eastern Time; and

B) Modify Section IV.D, ?Content and Form of Full Application?, to add the NEPA Environmental Form as a mandatory submission requirement.

II. All other parts of the FOA remain unchanged.

III. The areas which have changed are highlighted within the Funding Opportunity Announcement.

The U.S. Department of Energy seeks to fund revolutionary, exploratory research to create highly disruptive solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies that will meet $1/W and lower installed system cost targets beyond the end of this decade. The Transformational PV Science and Technology: Next Generation Photovoltaics II Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) intends to support research into technologies that have the potential for much higher efficiency, lower cost, and/or more reliable performance than existing commercial and near-commercial photovoltaics and their expected incremental progress in future years. As part of the SunShot Initiative, this early-stage applied research program is intended to demonstrate and prove new concepts in materials, processes, and device designs to feed into component development at the laboratory scale, with subsequent component integration, engineering scale-up, and eventual commercial production. Selected projects will have as a goal the pr
oof-of-concept of novel materials, processes, or architectures as applied to a photovoltaic device. This FOA is designed to look beyond incremental near-term innovation and explore transformative concepts with the potential to break through performance barriers as we know them today.

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.
