separate Solicitations for LOI have been issued under “Pre-Incubator” and “Incubator” programs. For this round, NREL is requesting LOI in the following Tier 1 and Tier 2 categories, bringing these two program areas under a single solicitation.
Tier 1 projects will receive up to $1 million through 12 month subcontracts and focus on accelerating the development of innovative PV module-related technologies to the prototype stage.
Tier 2 projects will receive up to $4 million through 18 month phased subcontracts and focus on shortening the timeline for companies to transition innovative lab-scale and pre-commercial prototypes into pilot and eventually full-scale manufacture.
The solicitation for Letters of Interest will be available to view via the following link: http://www.

Cree Extends EasyWhite to LED Modules
Lighting manufacturers can now access an expanded portfolio of color temperatures and color rendering options.
Cree, one of the market leaders in LED lighting, has expanded its LED Module LMR4 product line with the introduction of Cree EasyWhite technology and a broad range of available color temperatures.
designing fixtures,” said Mark Danesh, President and CEO of DMF Lighting. “Since the LMR4 is drop- in-ready, we can now address more applications within a limited development budget; from general illumination to our most demanding customers such as restaurants or museums, which benefit from the higher light quality of Cree’s TrueWhite technology.”
The Cree LED Module LMR4 with EasyWhite technology uniquely integrates driver electronics, optics and primary thermal management, making the compact Cree module easy to integrate and fast to market. Designed to last 35,000 hours while consuming just 12 watts of power, it offers 2700-K, 3000-K, 3500-K and 4000-K color temperatures at 80 CRI.
“Cree LED Module customers now have access to EasyWhite technology, allowing them to expand their design possibilities while shortening the manufacturing cycle for new products,” said Scott Schwab, Cree LED Module product line manager. “This further broadens Cree’s portfolio of application-optimized LED Modules, specifically designed to meet the needs of our OEMs.”
The Cree LED Module LMR4 with EasyWhite technology is available in production quantities now with standard lead times. Also available are new module evaluation kits featuring four modules with a mix of Cree TrueWhite and EasyWhite options.
Intematix Takes LED Industry Veteran Mark Swomboda On Board
