The U.S. Department of Energy announced that Clean Energy Collective (CEC), the nation’s leading provider of community solar, has been selected to receive a $700,000 SunShot Initiative cooperative award to develop and implement the National Community Solar Platform (NCSP)—a centralized web platform which will provide broad access to information and market-proven tools to make community solar development easier, cheaper, faster, and widely scalable. Community solar is a proven solution to expedite renewable energy adoption throughout the country. “This initiative is a natural extension of our mission to make solar available to the masses,” said Paul Spencer, CEC’s Founder and CEO. “The NCSP will soon provide tools and resources to anyone wishing to build their own community solar solution—even if they don’t have any prior experience.” The community solar model is attracting significant attention from utilities, consumers and solar advocacy groups because its ability to deliver renewable energy to the masses affordably and painlessly. As with any solution, however, community solar is not without its challenges. A successful program fully addresses complex, unexpected issues such as securities law, tax law, electronic on-bill crediting solutions, state and federal law, and land use issues. cleaneasyenergy/cecblog/index.php/cec-creates-national-community-solar-platform-with-doe-funds/
