Technical Report · Wed Feb 01 00:00:00 EST 2012

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1039075· OSTI ID:1039075

The objective of the SunShot Vision Study is to provide an in-depth assessment of the potential for solar technologies to meet a significant share of electricity demand in the United States during the next several decades. Specifically, it explores a future in which the price of solar technologies declines by about 75% between 2010 and 2020 - in line with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) SunShot Initiative's targets.
