Golden Field Office
The Golden Field Office of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has posted a funding opportunity titled "Fiscal Year 2024 Solar Energy Supply Chain Incubator FOA". This opportunity aims to provide up to $38 million in funding for research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) projects that de-risk solar hardware, manufacturing processes, and software products across various solar technology areas. The funding will support the government's approach to addressing the climate crisis by driving innovation in clean energy technologies. The FOA specifically focuses on advancing innovative solar hardware, software, and manufacturing processes at different technology readiness levels, ranging from laboratory-scale to pilot-scale testing and prototype demonstration. The technologies of interest include photovoltaics (PV), systems integration, concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) technologies, as well as those that connect solar with storage or electric vehicles. It also includes dual-use PV applications like agrivoltaics and vehicle-integrated PV. Small businesses are eligible to apply for this funding opportunity, and the DOE encourages them to collaborate with diverse institutions such as academic institutions, non-profits, state and local governments, and Tribal governments. The FOA also seeks projects that provide outreach, education, or technology development for software that enables an automated permit review and approval process for rooftop solar PV with or without energy storage. Under this FOA, the DOE expects to make between 11 and 23 awards, with funding ranging from $1 million to $5 million per award. Prior to submitting a full application, a mandatory concept paper is due on July 19 at 5 p.m. ET.

Golden Field Office
The Golden Field Office of the Department of Energy (DOE-GFO) has posted a federal grant opportunity titled "Connected Communities 2.0: Innovations to Manage Growing Transportation, Building, and Industrial Loads to the Grid." This funding opportunity aims to address the increasing loads on the electric grid from transportation, industry, and buildings by providing new tools for grid users, planners, and operators. The grant focuses on two major areas: Connected Communities 2.0 and Smart Charge Management (SCM). Connected Communities 2.0 aims to implement grid edge technical measures in buildings, industry, and transportation to prepare the electric grid for new loads and improve resilience. SCM focuses on various urban, suburban, and rural use cases to build confidence in SCM as an effective approach for electric vehicles (EVs) to provide flexibility and value to the grid. The awarded projects will have three primary goals. First, they will demonstrate how smart and coordinated management of EVs and other distributed energy resources can provide grid support, reduce system costs, and improve customer technology adoption. Second, they will demonstrate approaches that enable acceptance of smart charge management and grid-edge technical measures by utilities, public utility commissions, and communities. Finally, the projects will aim to improve resilience for communities, end-use customers, and the overall grid in the face of growing loads, extreme weather events, cyber threats, and increasing reliance on the electric grid. The grant has an estimated total program funding of $65 million, with an award ceiling of $6 million and an award floor of $3 million. The deadline for submission is October 10, 2024. Eligible applicants can find the full eligibility requirements and submit their applications through the EERE eXCHANGE website.
