Plextronics Awarded Funding from DOE

June 21, 2007

Plextronics has been awarded funding by the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar America Initiative (SAI). The award comes from the Solar Photovoltaic Technology Incubator, a program created to make solar photovoltaic technologies competitive with existing technologies by 2015. Plextronic's project will focus on commercializing thin film organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology to enable low-cost solar modules.  Subject to negotiating an acceptable statement of work with the DOE, Plextronics expects to receive up to $3 million over the course of the 18-month project.  The DOE has also identified Pittsburgh as one of 13 2007 Solar America Cities (click here for more information).
