Federal grant · cooperative agreement (b)
1. Achieve 27%-EFFICIENT > 500 CM2 Aperture Area Tandem Minimodules After 6 Months of Outdoor Testing in 3 Climate Zones Made by High-throughput-compatible (at Least 1 M6 Wafer Per Minute) Perovskite Vapor Deposition. 2. Achieve at Most 10% Relative Pce Loss on Accelerated Tests That Utilize Conditions Specified in International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61215 MQT10, 11, 13, and 21 Tests on Damp Heat, Thermal Cycling, Ultraviolet (UV) Exposure, and Potential Induced Degradation (PID) for at Least 15 Minimodules. 3. Develop Scalable and High-throughput-compatible Passivation That Can Achieve >29% Tandem Solar Cells on >160CM2 Aperture Areas 4. Develop a Finite Element Model for the Mechanical Properties of Complete Minimodules Including Cell Stack, Interconnects, and Encapsulation That Can Identify Stress Concentrations and Predict Failure Points. 5. Send Modules for Outdoor Testing at Pact That Have < 3% Relative Loss Over 6 Months.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
