- Description
- The IARPA Superior Options for Long-life Solar Technologies with Impressive Conversion Efficiencies (SOLSTICE) Proposers� Day meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT in Washington DC, to introduce the SOLSTICE program to potential proposers and to provide information on technical requirements and program objectives. A virtual attendance option will also be available.��� The SOLSTICE program aims to develop novel solar-powered and hybrid solar-powered systems with significantly higher power density than existing technologies.� These systems will be capable of maintaining performance over their mission lifetime in challenging remote applications, including in an earth-orbital environment (Track 1) and on the earth surface (Track 2).� Novel component technologies and systems-level approaches will be leveraged to both maximize power output over a large range of operational conditions and mitigate anticipated failure modes.� This will lead to a significant increase in the total energy yield of a power system over its intended lifetime and greater resilience against ever-present risks.� IARPA seeks technical approaches that improve and look beyond individual component performance to consider the systems-level challenges and opportunities to enhance useable energy and minimize loss.� Careful consideration of the intersection of novel and established component technologies, including photovoltaics, optics, thermal management/conversion, power electronics, energy storage, and other technical areas will be needed.� The program will initially focus on component technology development as part of a system concept design, followed by system prototype development, testing, and refinement for target environments.���A draft BAA technical section will be added to this announcement shortly. REGISTRATION� Participants must register by Thursday, April 4, 2024, at noon EDT. Same day registrations will not be accepted. Limited spots are available for in-person attendance and early registration is encouraged. Only two attendees per organization or research group will be permitted to attend in person.
