SUMMARY: The Photovoltaic (PV) Division of the Department of Energy's
(DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is
supporting the issuance of this Supplemental Announcement to EERE's
Broad Based Solicitation for Submission of Financial Assistance
Applications Involving Research, Development and Demonstration, DE-
PS36-99GO10383, dated November 9, 1998. Under the Supplemental
Announcement, DOE is soliciting applications to analyze the U.S. Navy's
Power Electronic Building Block (PEBB) technology to determine if it is
a viable option for PV applications and, if so, establish a set of
recommendations to the PV industry regarding methods to transfer this
technology. Proposals are requested to conduct an assessment and
analysis of power integrated circuits/PEBB devices for PV Balance of
System (BOS) applications. The work will include assessments of the
applicability, availability, and compatibility of the power integrated
circuits to insure that the devices developed in the PEBB program may
also be suited for BOS PV power conditioner applications with minimal
modifications. Awards under this Supplemental Announcement will be
Grants with a term of up to 12 months. Subject to funding availability,
the total DOE funding available under this Supplemental Announcement
will be $75,000.
All information regarding the Supplemental Announcement will be
posted on the DOE Golden Field Office Home page at the address
