The Washington State Department of Commerce grants funding for development of high-efficiency wide-bandgap perovskite-based solar cell

The Washington State Department of Commerce (DOC) announced a $37 million investment into 46 clean energy projects throughout the state.

The programs will be funded by the Washington Climate Commitment Act (and additional state funding), with $14 million going towards the “Research, Development and Demonstration” program, which awards “projects fund multiple new and developing technologies, ranging from low-head turbines to create hydropower, to several different carbon capture technologies, to low-carbon concrete products.”

Of the $14 million, two entities will receive funding: $1,997,500 will go to MujiElectric LLC to “develop and demonstrate a high-efficiency wide-bandgap perovskite-based solar cell”.
