The selected projects will maximize the environmental benefit of solar energy technologies by increasing system lifetime and work to facilitate material recovery once the system is decommissioned. DOE also launched a prize program that will open new markets for solar energy system equipment, announced winners in the American-Made Solar Prize Round 7, and issued a notice of intent for up to $20 million to advance solar manufacturing. These investments will support the Biden-Harris Administration's efforts to boost domestic manufacturing and competitiveness while reducing waste and improving sustainability of solar technologies. "The Biden-Harris Administration is investing in a clean energy future that's built to last," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. "The U.S. has doubled annual solar installations over the past four years, and today's announcement further supports manufacturers as they create more resilient solar energy technologies and maximize the life of their products."
