and achieve cost-competitiveness with grid electricity by 2015.In addition to research and development (R &D) efforts, the Solar Program helps overcome barriers to adoption by addressing non-R&D issues such as workforce development.


Through this RFI, DOE seeks input from all parties with perspectives on how the quality of the solar industry workforce can be improved through certification and accreditation of industry-related personnel and organizations, and on the role DOE should have in facilitating this effort. The DOE currently supports certification and accreditation programs1 and therefore seeks feedback on the level of support the DOE has provided to date and the role that DOE should play going forward.
