New CSP Projects Aim for 700 ° Celsius; Pre-Register for the Solar Prize Manufacturing Competition

The Energy Department announced $72 million for projects that explore high-temperature concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) technologies and integrated designs capable of reaching 700 ° Celsius. We're also taking an in-depth look at the grid services solar energy can provide and the various ways to extend the lifetimes of power electronics. And if you're a solar innovator, there are spots available for the SETO Science and Technology Policy Opportunity and soon you will be able to participate in the American-Made Solar Prize.
