The DOE announced a $71 million investment to grow the network of domestic manufacturers across the U.S. solar energy supply chain. 2/3 of it is going toward thin-film solar tech vs. silicon solar module projects. It will address gaps in the domestic manufacturing capacity for supply chain including equipment, silicon ingots and wafers, and both silicon and thin-film solar cell manufacturing.
DOE commits almost $70 million to silicon thin film solar R&D
