- Description
- RECOVERY ACTION. For Informational Purposes Only. This action is awarded under Modification no. A111 that recognizes Work Authorization (WA) No. SL-100036-20477-10, Revision 0 (LASO # RA-10-021) and is issued under Management & Operating (M&O) Contract number DE-AC52-06NA25396. This action is funded by Recovery Act dollars. The M&O Contractor DUNS number is 175252894. The description of the work involved under this Work Authorization is shown below: Experimentally determine whether silicon nanowire solar cells can achieve performance close to that of crystalline silicon cells but with the much lower costs of thin film, amorphous Si solar cells. This performance would lead to a new class of high quality, crystalline solar cells with a cost of ~$0.5/W and a module levelized cost of energy (LCOE) reduced by 1/3 to 1/2 that of current silicon photovoltaic technology. To the performance potential of these new solar cells, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) will fabricate arrays of vertical nanowire, single crystalline silicon p-i-n junctions which are fabricated without metal catalysts. To assess low cost manufacturing of these cells, LANL will develop techniques to grow the nanowire arrays on poly-Si/stainless steel substrates. Justification for Non-Fixed Price Type of Contract for WA* (added to description in FedBizOpps): Los Alamos National Security (LANS) was selected by the Department of Energy (DOE) to participate in this ARRA work as part of a Laboratory-industry collaboration due to LANL’s expertise in the subject matter. The work falls within the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy work scope, which is allowed under the prime contract Section J, Appendix B. Statement of Work Section 3.4 entitled “Energy Supply” of the current Contract based on the following paragraph: “The Contractor shall conduct research that addresses energy supply issues by applying capabilities in the areas of exploration, reservoir modeling, integrated assessments, and environmental transport. The Contractor shall support DOE/NNSA’s efforts in the broad areas of energy efficiency, renewable energy, fossil energy, and nuclear energy.” This is a Cost-Reimbursable type contract. Place of Contract Performance: Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87544 Site Office Contracting Point of Contact(s): Caroline T. Crooks, Contracting Officer, 505 606-0249. Site Office Contracting Office Address: Los Alamos Site Office, 3747 West Jemez Road, Los Alamos, NM 87544.
