Since 1975, the federal government has conducted a program to provide focus, direction, and funding for the development of terrestrial photovoltaic (solar-electric) technology. The goal of the program is to advance scientific understanding and to establish a technology base which private enterprise can use in developing photovoltaic energy-producing devices or systems for sale in the competitive energy market. Each year a program summary, such as this, is prepared to provide an overview of government funded activities within the program. This summary highlights tasks conducted in-house by the participating national laboratories or under contract by industrial, academic, or other research institutions. It covers activities initiated, renewed, or completed during Fiscal Year 1983 (FY 1983 - October 1, 1982 through September 30, 1983). This document is divided into three sections. The first includes introductory information, a list of directing organizations, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, and an index of current contractors. The second section is made up of individual activity summary sheets, grouped by directing organization. The third section is also grouped by directing organization and lists FY 1982 - FY 1983 publications.
