The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) proposes to provide funding to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to partner with other national laboratories, as well as partners in academia and industry, to conduct accelerated PV module durability testing and data analytics. This effort is part of DOE’s national laboratory-led Energy Materials Network Consortium for durable module materials (DuraMAT), an initiative which seeks to accelerate the development of new module materials that enable significant reductions in the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of photovoltaic (PV) systems.
