NASA's Photovoltaic Energy Research Plans and Programs

National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA SBIR Programs GRC has supported the development of low/middle technology readiness level (TRL) photovoltaic devices, blankets, arrays, and testing equipment for many years through the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program Work closely with Langley Research Center and the Jet Propulsion Lab to develop solicitations and manage SBIR programs Subtopics change every year but the need for in-space power is always there IGNITE Special Low Cost PV topic: https://sbir.nasa.gov/solicit-detail/80089 Proposals due on Sept 1, 2022 Can address any area of cost reduction, from substrate, to cell growth, to processing, to qual/testing at the blanket/array level. www.nasa.gov
