The Department of Energy is supporting the development of tools and approaches that will reduce balance of system non-hardware costs for solar energy systems. These soft costs, expenses associated with permitting, financing, interconnection, and inspection, can account for approximately half of the total expense of photovoltaic installations.
As part of the SunShot Incubator program, there is a current DOE funding opportunity that is designed to help small businesses and entrepreneurs develop data-driven tools, innovative programs, and streamlined processes that will make solar more accessible for Americans.
