Intellectual Property, business development, outreach,
policy and regulatory studies. This may include workforce
challenges with an emphasis on finding ways to effectively
increase the breadth of expertise engaged in PV R&D,
manufacturing, deployment and technology support.
“
Technology and Business support through shared
resources” will focus on the wide variety of R&D centers,
consortia, facilities, road-mapping, and other activities

appropriate forum for showcasing the resources that may
be offered by your organization. This is open (but not
