The PV Manufacturing R&D Project is intended to improve PV manufacturing processes and products while reducing costs, providing a technology foundation that supports significant manufacturing scale- up (500 MW total U.S. capacity), and positioning the U.S. industry to meet rapidly emerging large- scale deployment opportunities. Individual manufacturers building on their own unique approaches perform the R&D efforts. The work areas include issues such as improvement of module- manufacturing processes to increase module reliability; system and system-component packaging, system integration, manufacturing, and assembly; product manufacturing flexibility; and BOS development, including storage and quality control. The third area of flat-plate PV R&D is Technology Development. This incorporates activities such as systems analysis and systems engineering, which includes benchmarking and validation, PV system performance and standards, inverter and other balance of systems, and technology-adoption activities. Technical support and outreach activities—both domestic and international—such as Million Solar Roofs, the Solar Decathlon, support to bilateral and multilateral agreements, and developments in building-integrated PV, all fall into the technology-adoption category. The building-integrated R&D addresses the incorporation of PV into traditional building components and encourages development of the symbiotic relationship that can exist between architecture and PV. The systems-analysis activities are designed to conduct investigations into the steps needed to improve the impact of PV technologies in the marketplace through technical R&D, market analyses, and conducting value and policy analyses. System reliability and cost analyses are also being conducted. The link between all of these activities is their role in the overall systems-driven approach being applied throughout the Solar Program. Thus, systems analysis also entails the assessment of existing tools, such as computer models, and the development of new ones to facilitate these analyses. The PV Advisor Model, as part of the overall Solar Advisor model, is under development as part of this task area. The systems-engineering area consists of: (1) benchmarking and validation through testing at all levels of the system, (2) development of activities designed to measure and characterize system performance and develop appropriate standards, (3) inverter and other BOS development, and (4) development of domestic and international market opportunities in support of industry. Several studies have indicated that some of the key factors in the overall cost of PV systems are based on the BOS components in terms of installed costs, operational performance, and the continued costs of operation and maintenance (O&M). Thus, activities in the BOS area will be undertaken to better understand these costs and their effects on overall PV system costs in a variety of market sectors. Using a systems-driven approach, R&D will address technical barriers related to reducing installed costs of BOS components and increasing reliability, thus reducing O&M costs and overall levelized energy cost (LEC). 4.1.1.2 Technology and Component Goals and Objectives Overall goals of the PV systems activities are to assist industry in developing PV systems that can provide quality performance and reliability at acceptable costs to the consumers. Acceptable costs are determined by a number of factors and will be fine-tuned as part of the continuing analysis, target setting, and validation conducted within the context of the ongoing systems-driven approach.
