Competition Aims to Boost Domestic Solar Production
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Department of Energy recently launched a $3 million prize to revitalize domestic solar panel manufacturing. The program will support entrepreneurs as they develop transformative ideas into concepts and then into early-stage prototypes ready for industry testing.
A series of three successive prize contests are designed to develop new types of made-in-America products. Competitors will have access to mentoring and other supportive resources through a network of national labs, incubators, investors and industry experts.
