Funding to support the research and commercialisation of ultra low cost solar (ULCS) PV technologies

Overview

The objectives of this funding are to:

• support ambitious and sustainable cost reduction and improved efficiencies for ULCS PV
• facilitate collaboration between research groups and industry by building on core research to drive commercialisation activities as part of an integrated project approach.

Funding is available for projects that:

• improve the efficiency, stability and cost competitiveness of cells and modules
• reduce balance of systems costs and operations and maintenance costs.
