SunShot intends to release a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) that will advance photovoltaic (PV) technology towards or beyond the 2020 SunShot goals. Successful applicants will demonstrate a convincing ability to improve the limits of power conversion efficiency, fielded energy output, service lifetime, or manufacturability for commercial and emerging PV technologies. 

This funding opportunity will have three topic areas with different funding levels based on the size, scope, and length of the project. Across these three topic areas, projects are expected to be funded with maximum award levels ranging from $100,000 to $450,000 per year. The total federal funding will be approximately $18 million.
