materials for longer-life systems, and worked with the industry to better understand the water-heating market. Currently, the R&D efforts focus on active systems that can operate in freezing climates and on passive systems that are lower cost by eliminating copper and other expensive materials. These R&D strategies have resulted in the Solar Program significantly lowering the cost of solar technologies (with continued lowering of costs projected, as shown in Fig. 1.2-1). However, the magnitude of the U.S. solar market forecasted in the 1970s and early 1980s has yet to materialize, primarily because fossil fuel prices have never approached the levels predicted at that time. R&D alone cannot sufficiently lower the cost of solar technologies to enable them to compete with fossil fuels. Deployment is also an integral part of cost reduction. Today, DOE and the states are partners in moving solar technology into energy markets—with DOE providing the R&D, and the states providing the incentives for deployment through renewable portfolio standards and other market mechanisms. Additionally, EPAct 2005 leverages the states’ initiatives by providing tax credit incentives. Fig. 1.2-1 Solar technologies cost curves. 1.3 Program Justification and Federal Role Despite fluctuating budgets and differing national energy strategies, the Solar Program has pursued scientific progress resulting in the emergence of more cost-effective solar energy technologies. Solar energy continues to get the highest marks in the public’s consciousness, as it remains the most popular choice in surveys about where the United States should obtain its energy in the future. Thus, despite its drawbacks of intermittency and higher cost, solar energy remains for many the “holy grail,” holding out the vision that we can obtain all of our nation’s energy needs from the sun. A primary goal of the Bush Administration’s National Energy Policy of 2001 is adding diversity to our nation’s energy supply. Although solar energy is the largest renewable resource available in the United States, it provides very little of the 7% of the renewable energy currently produced (where hydropower is the predominant form of renewable energy). 8PDF Image | Solar Energy Technologies Program
