T


he U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awar- ded 3M $4.4 million as part of DOE’s SunShot


Initiative. SunShot aims to reduce the total costs of photovoltaic solar energy systems by about 75%, so that they are cost-competitive with other forms of energy without subsidies. SunShot calls for achieving this goal by the end of the decade. The sum of the 3M award is estimated at $4.4 million over three years. The goal of 3M’s project is to accelerate efforts toward further development and commercialization of 3M™ Ultra Barrier Solar Film. As part of the ini- tiative, 3M will collaborate with DOE’s National Re- newable Energy Laboratory (NREL) located near Den- ver, Colorado, to test the performance and durability of Ultra Barrier Solar Films. NREL recently confirmed moisture vapor transmission rates in the range of 2*10-5


– 8*10-5 g/m2 /day for 3M‘s current Ultra Barri-


er Film 9L product using its electrically based calcium moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) test. http://www.3m.com
