The next round of applications is expected to open in July 2016. Individual vouchers range from $50,000 to $300,000 per business and allow the labs to assist small businesses developing specific clean energy technologies in the following areas: advanced manufacturing, buildings, vehicles, wind, water, bioenergy, fuel cells, geothermal and solar.
