Solar Energy: A National Perspective National Energy Policy “Through improved technology we can ensure that America will lead the world in the development of clean, natural, renewable and alternative energy supplies.” EERE Goal “To increase the viability and deployment of renewable energy technologies.” DOE Solar Program Goals “To reduce the cost of solar energy to the point it becomes competitive in relevant energy markets (e.g., buildings, power plants) and for solar technology to enable a sustainable solar industry.” 03387511 Figure 1-1. The goals of the Solar Program align with the National Energy Policy goals. 2 Solar Energy Technologies Program We all know that the sun does not shine all of the time. So how can we use solar energy when we need it? Fortunately, there are many solutions to this problem. Buildings can store thermal energy from the sun without appearing radically different in design than conventional buildings. Solar cells can store electricity in batteries for use when needed. Solar power plants can collect and store thermal energy during the daytime and generate electric power as needed throughout the day and night. The DOE Solar Program has developed a broad portfolio of electricity- generation and thermal-energy systems founded on two basic concepts: (1) solid-state solar cells producing electricity directly from sunlight via the “photovoltaic effect,” and (2) solar-thermal technologies collecting heat from the sun and then using it directly to provide thermal energy or converting it to electricity through conventional steam cycles, heat engines, or other generating technologies. 1.1 Solar Energy Technologies: Goals, Objectives, and Strategies Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham has challenged the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) to revolutionize how we approach energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies, to “leapfrog the status quo,” and to pursue “dramatic environmental benefits.” This research plan includes work on new solar energy concepts such as organic solar cells, solar/ hybrid lighting, dye-sensitized cells, and advanced solar-thermal hydrogen that have the potential to create the breakthroughs the Secretary envisioned. Creating substantial quantities of useful energy from the sun’s rays is the “holy grail” for renewable energy. Achieving this high-risk proposition requires a substantial program of fundamental materials, chemistry, physics, and electronics—central aspects of the Solar Program. This high-payoff, high- risk research can yield great benefits to the nation and is a prime example of research and development (R&D) worthy of Federal support. Mission and Vision The mission of the DOE Solar Program is to improve America’s security, environmental quality, and economic prosperity through public-private partnerships that bring reliable and affordable solar energy technologies to the marketplace. Once solar energy becomes economically viable for everyday applications, it could foretell a future where all Americans benefit from this pure and clean primary energy resource. In this future, millions of homes and commercial buildings across the nation would use solar technology to provide all or much of their energy needs. The Sun Belt states would get much of their electricity from solar power plants sited near the communities that need it. The southwestern states would generate more electricity from solar energy than they need, enabling them to export power to other states. Solar energy would power thermochemical and photolytic processes that produce hydrogen to provide transportation fuel that relieves our dependency on imported fossil fuels. As Figure 1-1 illustrates, the DOE Solar Program plays an integral role in the National Energy Policy and in helping EERE reach its goal of increasing thePDF Image | Solar Energy Technologies Program
