U.S. DOE
Dan Ton is the Team Lead for the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Integration activity in the DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program. In this capacity, Dan is responsible for leading the Solar Program's Grid Integration Systems Integration efforts, aiming toward developing advanced technologies and practices to achieve high penetration of both photovoltaic (PV) systems and concentrating solar power into the nation's electric grid. In addition, Dan leads the Solar Program's Technology Evaluation efforts, responsible for conducting R&D in modeling & analysis, reliability performance, test & evaluation, and systems engineering & manufacturing to support achieving the Solar America Initiative's goal for PV systems, i.e., achieving grid-parity for solar electricity across the nation by 2015. Dan's previous work in the DOE Solar Program included managing its High Reliability Inverter Program and several PV demonstration projects. Before joining the DOE, Dan worked for the U.S. Navy in the areas of navy ship communication and control systems development and weapon technologies programs. Dan holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Master of Science in Business Management, both from the University of Maryland.
