And Regional Solar Energy Centers:

Impediments To Their Effective Use

The Solar Energy Research Institute and the Region-
al Solar Energy Centers have been designated by the
Department of Energy as lead institutions for solar
energy development and commercialization. How-
ever, these entities have not been effectively inte-
grated into the Federal solar program and have not
achieved their intended roles. DOE has reorganized
its solar program structure to improve, among other
things, its management and use of the Institute and
the Regional Centers, but it needs to take further
actions. Such actions, as a minimum, should in-
clude
     --using the Institute and Regional Centers as
     its lead institutions for solar energy develop-
     ment and commercialization, as intended;
     --improving the planning process for develop-
     ing the Institute's and Regional Centers'
     programs and activities; and
     --monitoring the effectiveness of the Depart-
     ment's reorganization of its solar program
     with regard to integrating the Institute and
     the Regional Centers into the Federal solar
     program and using them as lead institu-
     tions.
