The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office invites you to register for the annual National Community Solar Partnership (NCSP) Summit on February 14 from 12:00–4:00 p.m. ET.

This year’s summit, “Community Solar – Deploying Benefits & Delivering Impacts,” will convene community solar stakeholders from across the industry, including community-based organizations, solar developers, utilities, federal, state, Tribal, and local government, financial institutions, philanthropic organizations, housing providers, and more to align efforts toward expanding access to the benefits of community solar to the equivalent of 5 million households by 2025. The summit will feature interactive sessions, led by industry experts that explore the technical potential of community solar, including its potential to deliver meaningful benefits to households and communities at scale.

This year’s event will be fully virtual with no fee to participate.  Inscrivez-vous pour participer.

“Community Solar — Deploying Benefits & Delivering Impacts” reflects on how the industry has proven its ability to deliver meaningful benefits through exemplary projects and programs that have leveraged innovative policies, business models, financing, and community leadership. The rollout of the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, the forthcoming announcement of funding for Solaire pour tous programs nationwide, and the work of the Partenariat solaire communautaire national and its members have all primed the industry to deliver meaningful benefits to low-income and disadvantaged communities.

The 2024 NCSP Annual Summit will convene NCSP members and other community solar stakeholders to learn about new and expanded tools and resources to accelerate community solar deployment, engage with community solar leaders from across the nation, and explore the roles organizations can play in rapidly deploying community solar to deliver benefits for all.
