Hosted by: DSM, Fraunhofer TechBridge & Greentown Labs
PROPOSAL DEADLINE: April 2, 2017
The SunRISE TechBridge Challenge II is seeking innovative solutions that will reduce the Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) for photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel PV cell and module materials
- Data analytics and/or advanced sensors
- “Retrofit” solutions that boost the power output and/or reduce operation and maintenance costs of PV modules already installed in the field
Winning applicants will be eligible for one or more of the following awards:
- Up to $25,000 in technical validation services from the world-renowned Fraunhofer R&D network
- Greentown Launch, a six-month structured acceleration program for solar startups at Greentown Labs, including valuable tools, products, and services
- Partnership and/or a project with DSM
- Venture investment from DSM
Applicants will be evaluated based on the potential impact of their solution, with a key parameter being LCOE and time to market. Awardees’ intellectual property is fully protected throughout the process. For more information on eligibility, click here.
