Cypress Creek Renewables receives $1.5 million from DOE to test bifacial modules

Cypress Creek Renewables has been selected to receive $1.5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) to advance PV research and development. The project will accelerate the industry’s ability to integrate cost-reducing bifacial modules in solar system design. Cypress Creek was chosen as a part of the Energy Department’s FY2018 SETO funding program, an effort to invest in new projects that lower solar electricity costs and support a growing solar workforce. This project is one of several photovoltaics research projects that focus on improving the performance and reliability of PV cells, modules, and systems and reducing materials and processing costs.
