Opportunity Information: Apply for BAA VS 07 03 0024
The Air Force Research Laboratory is inviting proposals under a grant opportunity titled "Ultra High Efficiency and Lightweight Thin Film Photovoltaic Electricity for Portable, On Demand Power for Defense Applications." This opportunity is part of a broader initiative aimed at enhancing space components technology, specifically in advanced space power.
Proposals are sought for the development of next-generation solar cells that are both ultra-efficient and lightweight. The emphasis is on solar technologies that utilize nanostructured materials—such as quantum dots, quantum wells, and carbon nanotubes—while avoiding traditional multijunction processes. The goal is to achieve initial solar cell efficiencies of 15%, with a potential roadmap pointing towards 30% in the near future and 40% in the long term.
The project encourages innovative approaches to thin film solar cell fabrication using materials like CIGS and CZTS on flexible, lightweight substrates. The development plan should include phases for efficiency optimization, scaling up production, and integration into modules, with non-destructive techniques for quality monitoring.
The anticipated funding amounts to approximately $2.7 million for FY10, $2.5 million for FY11, and $3.0 million for FY12. Funding is contingent on government discretion and availability. The performance period for proposals is expected to range from 12 to 36 months, including basic research and potential follow-up options.
The deadline for submissions is 4:30 PM MDT on October 21, 2010. Proposals must reflect compliance with specific environmental and mechanical standards required for both space and near-space applications. Communication regarding intent to propose is encouraged but not mandatory.
The Air Force may offer various types of contract instruments and does not guarantee specific awards, with the potential for multiple awards based on the quality of proposals received.
All necessary information related to proposal guidelines, submission procedures, and contact points can be found in the official announcement. Additionally, compliance with ITAR regulations is necessary, as the technology may involve sensitive materials subject to U.S. export control laws.Apply for BAA VS 07 03 0024
