Case Western to receive more than $1.3 mln for renewable energy research

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) recently announced that Case Western Reserve University will receive more than $1.35 million to help fund research to improve the efficiency and lifespan of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and packaging materials.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy will provide the funding through the Solar Energy Technologies Office Fiscal Year 2018 (SETO FY2018) funding program.

“New energy technology keeps the U.S. competitive and helps reduce utility bills for Ohioans,” Brown said. “Our country’s economic and environmental future depends on a strong domestic clean energy sector.”

The SETO FY2018 funding program addresses the affordability, flexibility and performance of solar technologies on the grid. It funds early-stage research projects that advance both solar PV and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) technologies and supports efforts that prepare the solar workforce for the industry’s future needs.
