Shared solar container policy summary report template

Where can I find more information about solar energy policy strategies?

In addition to the solar energy-related policy strategies laid out in DOE's companion energy supply chain policy strategy report, this deep dive assessment includes its own section focused on policy strategies and recommendations. More information can be found at www.energy.gov/policy/supplychains.

Who supervised the risk assessment of solar photovoltaics supply chain?

This deep dive assessment of risk in the solar photovoltaics supply chain was supervised by DOE’s Solar Energy Technologies Office. The policy strategies, actions, and recommendations were prepared by DOE’s Office of Policy. Most of the remaining content was researched, analyzed, and compiled by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Dr.

Where can I find more information about solar power supply chains?

More information can be found at www.energy.gov/policy/supplychains. Over the past decade, solar power has gone from an emerging, niche technology to a mature energy industry.

How to avoid supply-chain risks in the solar PV supply chain?

One way to avoid the supply-chain risks in the solar PV supply chain is to use a technology other than photovoltaics to convert sunlight into electricity. Concentrating solar thermal power uses tracking structures to support mirrors instead of PV modules.

How will DOE & other agencies support solar manufacturing?

DOE and other agencies will expand, within their authorities, competitive grants that support domestic manufacturing capabilities for solar components and job creation potential. Grants will focus on key areas that build on U.S. capabilities and developing markets for solar power.

Will domestic solar production reestablish?

To reestablish domestic solar manufacturing in the U.S., companies that produce and sell solar components will require financial support to offset the 30 – 40% higher cost of domestic solar production.
