In this episode we look at the current landscape for community solar, including trends, financing models and case studies. We close with a prediction about the state of community solar five to ten years in the future. My guests are Dan Chwastyk, K Kaufmann and Jared Leader from SEPA, the Smart Electric Power Alliance. Three new reports from SEPA serve as the basis for our discussion.
SEPA's reports referenced in the show:
- Community Solar Program Design Models
- Financing Community-Based Solar Projects: Case Studies From The Field
- Value Stacking in Minster, Ohio
Other references include:
- Coalition for Community Solar Access
- Fremont's Community Solar Farm information sheet
