Small Innovative Projects in Solar: Concentrating Solar Power and Photovoltaic (SIPS: CSP & PV) - Annual This Modification, 000001, is to correct a number of errors to the body and table of context of the FOA. These include, removing references to the SOPO, correcting an error in the maximum page number of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan, removing repeated text, and revising the Table of Contents to show sections that weren't previously visible. This FOA will advance the Biden Administration’s goals to achieve carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 and to “deliver an equitable, clean energy future, and put the United States on a path to achieve net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by no later than 2050“ to the benefit of all Americans. The research and development (R&D) activities to be funded under this FOA will support the government-wide approach to the climate crisis by driving the innovation that can lead to the deployment of clean energy technologies, which are critical for climate protection. Topic Area 1: SIPS: CSP This topic area will support small, focused projects investigating the applicability and robustness of novel ideas in CSP. Responsive concepts include all aspects of CSP plants with thermal energy storage, as well as solar-thermal industrial process heat (SIPH) innovations, and solar-thermal fuel systems. Topic Area 2: SIPS: PV Projects in this topic area will focus on new and emerging areas of PV research that can produce significant results within the first year of performance and, if successful, lay the foundation for continued research. These projects should aim to significantly lower costs with a focus on improving the power conversion efficiency, fielded energy output, reuse and recycling of system components, service lifetime, and manufacturability of PV technologies.
