Recommendations for Solar with Justice: Connecting States and Communities

For the past three years, the Solar with Justice Project, managed by the Clean Energy States Alliance, has helped state energy agencies (SEAs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) work collaboratively to advance the equitable development of solar to benefit underserved communities. The project has produced numerous reports, case studies, and video interviews, all of which are available on a dedicated webpage on the CESA website. This paper summarizes the project’s main recommendations for SEAs and CBOs interested in expanding solar in low- and moderate-income and disadvantaged communities.

This document was developed as part of CESA’s Solar with Justice: Connecting States and Communities project. The Solar with Justice project aims to bring together SEAs and CBOs developing solar for environmental justice communities to create opportunities for dialogue and collaboration.
