The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Arizona State University (ASU) to work with project partner Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT), to develop a partnership and innovation hub; the “Photovoltaic Innovation Alliance and Foundry.” The PV Foundry would serve to connect stakeholders within the solar PV industry and consolidate resources for the development, fabrication, and testing of silicon based solar cells for solar photovoltaic (PV) applications. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
