Dr. Becca Jones-Albertus is the Director of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO). SETO has an annual budget of over $300 million to advance solar technology and support an equitable transition to a decarbonized energy system. This includes innovative research on photovoltaic and concentrating solar-thermal power technologies, grid integration, and analysis and technical assistance to reduce soft costs and increase access to affordable solar energy. Dr. Jones-Albertus also works with DOE leadership and interagency partners on key issues such as supply chains, grid modernization, and workforce training.
Dr. Jones-Albertus has spent her career advancing solar technology and working to reduce regulatory barriers to solar deployment. Prior to joining the Energy Department, Dr. Jones-Albertus worked in the private sector, where she led efforts to develop solar cells that twice achieved world-record efficiencies. Dr. Jones-Albertus graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University and holds an M.S. and Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. She has more than 10 patents and 40 technical publications.
Now the IRA has established a 10-year window for tax credit structures and incentives supporting renewable energy development, long term certainty has gripped the solar and storage market. What financial, developmental, and political opportunities does the decade ahead hold?
Our headline speaker explores the opportunities currently at our fingertips and the opportunities ahead we dare not miss.
Unlike other solar conferences, proceeds from the event help to fund high quality journalism across our media titles.
This supports the growth of the solar and storage industries as well as the transition to a cleaner power system.
