Core Objectives

The U.S. Manufacturing of Advanced Perovskites (US-MAP) Consortium works to accelerate successful domestic commercialization of perovskite technologies by prioritizing investments that are critical to establishing a U.S.-based perovskite photovoltaic (PV) ecosystem and industrial supply chain. This group consists of representatives from industry (manufacturers, materials suppliers, and equipment vendors), academia, and national labs.

To remain competitive in the global PV market, US-MAP recommends the following critical investments in a U.S.-based manufacturing ecosystem be made.

1. An immediate and significant increase in federal funding for the perovskite PV ecosystem
2. A strong and sustained federal funding focus on perovskite PV research and development in the areas of reliability, scaling, demonstration, impurity/quality control, and the development of new transport layers
3. Direct support for pilot fabrication facilities that enable the industry to unleash private capital for their own gigawatt-scale commercial fabs
4. A focus on nationwide workforce development that would result in adding at least 1,500 advanced manufacturing jobs per year.
