A component of First Solar’s production line(* )The United State Division of Power (DOE) Solar Power Technologies Workplace (SETO) has actually released an ask for info (RFI) looking for comments regarding the possibilities and also difficulties connected with scaling the residential solar production labor force.
SETO is asking for input from market, academic community, lab, federal government companies and also various other stakeholders on task functions connected with running U.S.-based production centers associated with the manufacturing of:
solar (PV) components (consisting of crystalline silicon and also thin-film)
semiconductor products and also parts (e.g., silicon steel, polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells)
products utilized to create PV components (e.g., solar glass, frameworks, encapsulants, backsheets, and so on)
various other devices connected with PV systems (e.g., inverters, power optimizers, racking, trackers)
SETO claims the objective the RFI is to much better recognize the expected amount, high quality and also availability of solar production functions, the called for capability for these functions, any kind of obstacles most likely to effect conference the need for certified labor and also possible options for conquering these obstacles.
Actions to the RFI should be sent online to solarworkforce@ee.doe.gov no behind 5 p.m. ET on June 2.
