The third subprogram, Systems Integration and Coordination, covers crosscutting activities that reflect a new Systems-Driven Approach to managing the Solar Program. This subprogram provides a framework and the analysis tools to explore alternative pathways and identify critical technology needs to guide planning and management of the entire solar portfolio. This subprogram is divided into five crosscutting areas: • Systems Integration and Coordination • Technology Portfolio Integration • Stakeholder Collaboration • Communications, Education, and Outreach • Planning, Budget, and Analysis Future Program Direction We have ambitious plans for the next few years. Our focus is on realizing the benefits identified for EERE in the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993. The principal metric is gigawatts of capacity (electric or equivalent) installed in the United States during the mid- and long-term horizon. To accomplish these goals, our efforts must impact markets whose potential size can be measured in gigawatts. And, we must meet levelized energy cost goals that will open those markets. Analytical techniques, based on the Systems-Driven Approach, are used to optimize our research portfolio. We must invest in partnerships with the private and public sectors, using the balance of near-, mid-, and long-term research and related activities that will have the most impact on gigawatts installed. Risk is being factored into this analysis, as well as the use of outside experts to ensure our analysis is robust. Our multi-year program plan, annual operating plan, and subcontracts contain robust milestones, as defined in the stage-gate model for both commercialization and research paths. With the assistance of external experts, we continue to evaluate proposed activities and milestones against a number of criteria, such as strategic fit, market impact, technical feasibility and risk, critical success factors and showstoppers, and plans to proceed. The stage-gate process is being applied to graduate programs to the next phase or to recycle, suspend, or end efforts. On top of all this, we have some major events scheduled. The biggest one is the Solar Decathlon in October 2005—an effort that is being closely worked on not only by us, but also by our top management at DOE. The inaugural event in 2002, which featured teams of college students vying to design and build the most effective solar-powered house, captured the attention of the American public. It put solar technologies on center stage for several weeks before, during, and after the competition, and we expect even bigger results in 2005. About This Report In the body of this report, you will read about R&D results and achievements from across our Program. The work performed at the participating DOE national laboratories—National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Brookhaven National Laboratory—is highlighted, along with the vital contributions of our industry and university partners. A CD of Proceedings from the 2005 Solar Program Review Meeting is also included as part of this document. This annual meeting reviews developments and achievements within the DOE solar energy arena during the preceding year. We who have the opportunity to work in the field of solar energy are the luckiest people in the world. Solar offers virtually limitless promise of vast quantities of clean, affordable, renewable energy for our nation’s future. ii
