The SunShot 2030 goal of utility-scale solar at $0.03 per kilowatt hour would enable solar energy to contribute to greater energy affordability by making it among the least expensive options for new power generation and lower than the cost of most fossil fuel-powered generators.

Nov 14, 2016 · The SunShot 2030 goals aim to cut the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) from utility-scale solar by an additional 50% between 2020 and 2030.

With a focus on photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP), the SunShot Vision Study examines the potential pathways, barriers, and implications of achieving the price reduction targets and resulting market penetration levels.

The SunShot Initiative is a federal government program run by the US Department of Energy's Solar Energy Technologies Office. It bills itself as a national effort to support solar energy adoption in order to make solar energy affordable for all Americans.

Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is pursuing the SunShot Initiative: a program that will aggressively drive innovation to make solar energy cost-competitive—without subsidy—within a decade.

To drive domestic innovation, manufacturing, and clean energy, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is undertaking the SunShot Initiative to reduce the total installed cost of solar energy systems by about 75 percent before the end of the decade.

Through SunShot, DOE supports efforts by private companies, universities, and national laboratories to drive down the cost of solar electricity to $0.06 per kilowatt-hour, making solar energy affordable for more American families and businesses.

The DOE SunShot Initiative is a collaborative national initiative to make solar energy technologies cost-competitive with other forms of energy by reducing the cost of solar energy systems by about 75% by the end of the decade. Reducing the total installed cost for utility-scale solar electricity to roughly 6 cents per kilowatt hour without

On the Path to SunShot is a series of eight reports that examines the lessons learned in the first five years of the initiative and the challenges and opportunities the industry faces in the final five.

Sep 13, 2017 · The U.S. Department of Energy announced plans to expand the SunShot program after hitting its 2020 goals to trim utility-scale solar costs to $0.06/kWh — or under $1 per watt — three years...
