6 FAQs about Large-scale Solar Power Generation & Energy Storage

Will learning by doing and R&D contribute to solar energy innovation?

Learning by doing and R&D will both be needed to produce an innovation ecosystem that can sustain the historical rate of cost reductions in PVs and concentrated solar thermal technology. Disruptive approaches to storage technologies are needed to compensate for the intermittency of sunlight and allow for development of a full clean-energy system.

What is the Solar Futures Study?

The Solar Futures Study is a report by the U.S Department of Energy's Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) that explores the role of solar energy in achieving a decarbonized grid by 2035 and a decarbonized energy system by 2050. The Solar Futures Study does research, development, demonstration, and deployment assistance for solar energy.

Does modular solar panel design reduce system damage?

The modular design has proved effective in controlling and reducing system damage caused by such loadings. Comparison analysis between the modular design approach and the conventional solar panel design showed that the modular design required less costs to replace damaged components improving the performance and ease of repairability of the system.

Why should we invest in R&D in solar energy?

The remarkable progress that has been made in cost reduction and commercial deployment of solar energy technologies underscores the benefits of investment in R&D and indicates the promise of, and necessity for, continued innovation to produce further advances in the field.

What is the role of the Photovoltaics team?

The Photovoltaics (PV) team supports research and development projects to lower manufacturing costs, increase efficiency and performance, and improve reliability of PV technologies. This is done in order to support the widespread deployment of electricity produced directly from sunlight ('photovoltaics').

Are solar panels a viable energy source?

The energy in sunlight can be converted into electricity, heat, or fuel. Although the costs of solar panels have declined rapidly, technology gaps still exist for achieving cost-effective scalable deployment combined with storage technologies to provide reliable, dispatchable energy.
