The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Clemson University to develop and test a tool for performing assessments of electronic components in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The tool would consist of software used for forecasting PV degradation, levelized cost of energy, and associated performance metrics. The software would be evaluated utilizing data from existing PV systems and laboratory-based inverter testing. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
