This fourth round of US DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office projects concerns solar–hydro hybrid power plants, other solar hybrid power plants, microgrids, grid storage integration, and blockchain technology.
This third round of US DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office projects concerns innovations in manufacturing for solar hardware.
This second round of US DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office projects we’re looking at concern Systems Integration and AI Applications in Solar Energy with Emphasis on Machine Learning. Below are DOE summaries of how it intends to help on these topics as well as awardee details from the DOE.
Continuing a decades-long trend, the US Department of Energy (DOE) has put a few million dollars into further research and development of solar power technologies — $130 million, to be precise.

CleanTechnica has been diligently and obsessively covering cleantech industries for more than a decade. We’ve seen many good news sites come and go, because it’s simply hard to be a profitable and large niche media company in this day and age.
Over the last 13 years, we here at CleanTechnica have built one of the most loved cleantech and clean economy news site in the world. We’re happy about that and feel lucky to have had the success we’ve had, but we’re also clear-eyed about how we did that: By covering key sectors that lots of people are interested in tracking and understanding — obsessively.

Earlier this week, a Tesla Model 3 driver in Oregon was reportedly speeding along at 100 mph (160 km/h) while drunk and high on marijuana and lost control of his car. The Model 3 struck an electricity pole, a couple of trees, and a utility box, getting absolutely demolished in the process. It was getting smashed to bits for 300 feet after leaving the asphalt.

Nonetheless, the story of a ŠKODA AUTO Service Center getting a new solar power roof system is another story about the auto industry’s continual shift to clean technology. And there’s more to consider.
