Solar photochemistry is a promising energy technology limited by the performance and compatibility of its component materials. A variety of approaches for discovering solar fuels materials have been and continue to be deployed, with photoactive components proving to be particularly difficult to identify due to their need to simultaneously exhibit a broad range of chemical and physical properties. The development of high throughput screening techniques in the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis has opened new avenues for materials discovery with unique challenges and opportunities. Most notably, rapid synthesis and screening enables evaluation of candidate materials proposed by high throughput computational screening, and some experiments produce datasets that are too large and complex to be interpreted by standard techniques or even expert materials scientists, motivating the development of artificial intelligence algorithms. Integration of the respective computational techniques with experiments accelerates both materials discovery and understanding of known materials, creating new paradigms for conducting materials research and developing multi-functional materials.<br/>
