Biden Administration Invests $82M Increases Domestic Solar Manufacturing Strengthening US Clean Energy Grid

The research, development, and demonstration projects aim to enhance domestic solar manufacturing, support the recycling of solar panels, and develop new American-made solar technologies. Additionally, this significant investment will help promote cheaper, more efficient solar cells and advance cadmium telluride (CdTe) and perovskite solar manufacturing—2 technologies vital to diversifying the solar supply chain. Accelerating solar manufacturing, production, adoption & integration across the US is critical to growing an equitable clean energy economy and achieving the Administration’s goals of a 100% clean electricity grid by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
